GCSE English Language Transactional Writing Scheme of Work

GCSE English Language Transactional Writing Scheme of Work

(0)
A six week scheme of work that teaches students all they need to know about the transactional writing element of the new GCSE for English Language. Although this is designed with Edexcel in mind, it does adapt easily to other exam boards (the only specific references to Edexcel are on slides containing shots of the success criteria). This SOW is very detailed, containing multiple grade 9 exemplars to use for inspiration, as well as exam tasks. The lessons cover different genres, for example writing a speech, a newspaper article, a magazine article, an obituary, a letter and a blog, as well as different purposes including writing to persuade, inform, argue and entertain.

(1)
This 2 hour session explores how the English language has changed as a result of technological advancements with regards to texting, considering key terminology, a prescriptivist stance on language change and the affordances of texting with references to theories from Dr Wood and David Crystal. The assessment task at the end is designed for the OCR syllabus but can be easily adapted to suit other exam boards.

Secondary Assembly - Importance of Reading

(0)
An assembly for KS3, KS4 and KS5 which links to whole school Literacy and the importance of reading, both academically and for pleasure. With reading high on the Ofsted agenda, this assembly is a good way of evidencing a whole school drive towards improving standards. I have recorded a voice over on each slide however this can be removed/scripted with your own members of staff.

KS3 Low Ability Literacy scheme of work (catch up) (10 lessons)

(1)
We used these 10 lessons with our lowest ability Y7 pupils in order to help them to develop basic literacy skills such as scanning texts, summarising information and decoding texts. They are based on engaging, low ability texts and cover fiction and non-fiction texts. Great for remote learning and the catch up curriculum.

SPAG and writing skills scheme of work for KS3 students

(0)
This is a fully-resources scheme of work that I created for Year 7 students. After visiting a local primary school and learning more about the KS2 SATs requirements, I designed this scheme of work to ensure that our KS3 students continue to build on the skills learned in primary school. Every lesson has a powerpoint, worksheets, homework activities, differentiation (including differentiated learning objectives) and there are assessment opportunities built into the scheme of work.

This 40/40 piece of imaginative writing demonstrates the skills and techniques that students need to be able to use in order to achieve a grade 8 or 9 in the Edexcel Language exam. This piece of writing is based on a moment from the movie John Wick - I encourage students to use poignant moments from films/shows as inspiration.

Edexcel Conflict Poetry - Complete Scheme of Work - GCSE English Literature

(1)
This is a complete scheme of work for the poetry section of the Edexcel GCSE English Literature specification; the CONFLICT cluster. This scheme of work contains three lessons focusing on each individual poem, which each walk students through the context, language, form and structural analysis they need to understand and teaches them how to analyse the poem with regards to a specific theme. There is also a differentiated glossary for each poem. There are also four lessons which teach students how to answer the comparison question, focusing on the themes of war, anger, relationships and nature. Including within these lessons are model answers, references to the mark scheme and planning sheets. Additionally I have created a poetic terminology workbook to run alongside the unit which students complete as they annotate each poem. There are also memory quizzes designed to help students to be able to quickly recall important quotations from across the cluster.
