There are a range of activities in this booklets like: types of nouns, finding the different types of nouns, making inferences, finding evidence (quotes), adverbs, improving vocabulary and self assessment at the end.

A Christmas Carol 5 Lessons Staves 1 - 4
Made for a set 3 target grades 4-6 English Literature group.
These 5 lessons were designed for a first reading of A Christmas Carol - the lessons took longer than 5 hours as I also used the Disney version to play sections of the film to clarify what was happening, but there was a lot of modelling when we annotated the novella under visualisers and completed an assessment as well.
There are close reading sections with an abundance of analysis questions, quotation focus tasks and theme and plot questions too.

KS3 Lessons 1 -13 Descriptive Writing Scheme of Work
This scheme of work has been designed to recap the different sentence types and begin to think about how students describe to ensure they are adding description, but looking at the meaning behind the lessons.
There are 13 lessons included in this scheme of learning, but some of them are slow writes which mean they can take more than one lesson so there could be roughly 17 out of them.
This scheme of work was put in place to ensure students were given time to describe and have a go at writing, but also to look at how they introduce characters and how they can change them.
Hope this helps!
Literacy Booklet 3 - Term 3 2024
This is the THIRD booklet in my Literacy series!
It has been designed for KS3 (or maybe KS2) students to recap certain skills to cement their knowledge. This was designed for students struggling with skills for in class intervention and used for homework. It does mention Literacy Booklet 1 and Literacy Booklet 2 (available from my store).
There are a range of activities in this booklets like: a quick quiz to do a knowledge check at the beginning, types of nouns recap going over them with a different list, finding noun types in sentences and extracts, making inferences again with a different extract, then a digging deeper making inferences page of tasks, recap on similes, recap on metaphors and then identifying similes and metaphors and creating their own and finally (as before) a self assessment at the end.
AQA A Level English Language NEA Commentary Lesson
This lesson is designed to assist A Level English Language students on preparing to write their commentary element for their coursework. The PPT should be introduced over two lessons and have examples of a commentary attached to it (I have included two examples from my students from previous years).
The lesson should be printed (certain slides should be) for the students to follow and assist their own levels of analysis.
To plan, get the students to have a look at the language levels that link together then create paragraphs analysing them referencing the style model as they go.
My biggest tip would be to get students to write paragraphs based on the language levels first, and then see if they can piece together the essay with those paragraphs. My students seem to discuss the style model too much to begin with, rather than analysing their own work referencing the style models.
Hope this helps!

War Photographer & Storm on the Island Poetry Low Ability Lesson
This lesson has been used to go over War Photographer and Storm on the Island - both poems have been pre-read and looked at, but not in lots of detail. The lesson is to a mid to low ability Year 10 group.
The lesson takes students through vocabulary tacking and understanding, and also what’s happening in Storm on the Island through a storyboard activity, before then leading to planning how conflict is presented in War Photographer and Storm on the Island.
I hope it’s helpful!
A Christmas Carol & Macbeth Walking Talking Mock TOP SETS
These two PPTs go through how to teach top set students (to be delivered in a hall of set 1s and set 2s) how to adapt their writing ensuring they are focusing on expanding their ideas. Not only does this allow students to explore ideas linking them together, but it also gives them an introduction and first paragraph.
It should be noted that these will not be able to be replicated perfectly in the exam, but they should aim high to be able to recreate what they need to in order to gain the top marks.
