A lesson that explores the themes, context and characters of the scene from Romeo and Juliet. Students are provided with a clear learning journey that is linked to blooms skills and the assessment objectives from the new spec AQA. The lesson follows a clear structure where students are introduced to the main idea, the theme/character analysis is developed and students then have the opportunity to apply their own skills independently. Learning objectives and activities are clearly differentiated using RAG and stretch and challenge opportunities are in the form of 'Shakespeare Challenge' questions to help encourage students to extend their ideas. This lesson is aimed at KS4 but could be adapted for use with KS3 students. Planned as a double (2 hour lesson) but could easily be split into two separate 1 hour lessons.

An Introductory double lesson for the study of the A Level paper Paper 1 Language, The Individual and Society, Section A- Textual Variations and Representations.

A lesson that explores the story of A Christmas Carol while developing KS3 descriptive writing skills. This is ideal to use with students in the Autumn term and the lead up to Christmas as they are able to get the flavour of the text while also developing key GCSE creative writing skills. Students will look at a range of characters from across Dickens' most famous novels. Students will look at 'stereotypical' victorian characters from orphans to criminals to the miserable wealthy. They will analyse how the character is created and then try and create their own victorian character using their knowledge.

A lesson that explores Act 1 Scene 2. Students consider how they can use powerful verbs to create atmosphere. They then think about the qualities/personalities/connotations of a father and daughter and a magician and their magic. They then apply these ideas and look at how Miranda converses with her father and analyse her language use. They they move on to focus on Prospero and choose from one of three arguments to focus their extended writing on. Students then produce a PEAL paragraph/extended response based on their selected essay question. There is also a PEAL/PEE support table mat to scaffold learning that includes a sample paragraph and quotation bank.

2 weeks of lessons to introduce English Language Paper 2 Section A- Writer’s viewpoints and perspectives. The texts are taken from AQA Paper 2 resource booklet (available on AQA website) and are on the theme of conflict: As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee I see my wife coming off the field of battle by Tim Dowling The lessons introduce students to the skills and AO’s required for each question and provide students with a clear structure to answer each question. There are also model answers for students to mark and match against the mark scheme. As I am using this with my year 11 students I have interleaved Literature skills by using the poems from the Conflict cluster as starter tasks. The aim of this is to aid students’ revision of the poems but also refresh language analysis skills. The poems link to the themes of the non-fiction texts selected. The aim is for students to spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each lesson revising the poetry skills which can then be applied to the rest of the lesson. These could also be used as ‘unseen’ poetry revision for those that have studied the ‘Romantic’ cluster. Activities aim to build a routine with students that they can apply to their exam. Approaching different texts by following the same steps is important. Activities are aimed to be kept to close timings where indicated to help students build their time management skills for the exam. Additional lesson information is available in the notes sections of some slides. More resources for this paper to follow shortly.
