This complete SOL includes: 19 lessons (all on PowerPoint) 5 homework sheets (perfect for use on Microsoft Teams or for printing) A mid-term plan explaining the overview for the entire scheme All attached worksheets and resources This nature SOL has been created this year. I wanted to move away from focusing wholly on ‘the greats’ of nature poetry; instead of finding Keats and Wordsworth littering these lessons, you will find a wealth of contemporary and - dare I say it - more engaging poems for our younger students to sink their teeth into. All of the lessons are presented on Microsoft PowerPoint and are engaging to the class with a use of images alongside a wide variety of tasks to stimulate all learners. To see one example of the scheme for free, please follow this link: /teaching-resource/esther-s-tomcat-free-yr-7-8-poetry-lesson-12419996 This scheme includes lessons on the following poems: First Ice by Andrei Voznesensky A Martian Sends a Postcard Home by Craig Raine Umbrella by Rhianna The Silence of The Snow by Ruth Velenski Esther’s Tomcat by Ted Hughes A Bird by Emily Dickinson Blackberry-Picking by Seamus Heaney Nettles by Vernon Scannell Digging by Seamus Heaney Mosquitoes by Aimee Nezuhkamatetil Trees by Joyce Kilmer Leisure by W H Davies Fog by Helen Cadbury Lizard by Martha Close The Fish by Elizabeth Bishop The Shark by E J Pratt

These 4 lessons (with attached poems and other necessary resources) have been created for a lower ability year 9 group, as an introduction to war poetry. All lessons have clear instructions and have been created using Microsoft Powerpoint, with possibilities for stretch and challenge highlighted, as well as differentiation for the lower end of the group. The lessons focus on the poems 'Base Details' and 'Suicide in the Trenches' by Siegfried Sassoon. The lessons explore the use of satire and literary techniques as well as having a close focus on language by analysing connotations. The lesson on satire worked really well alongside showing Blackadder Goes Forth's 'Goodbye' (the final episode). Please leave a review and rating if you use this resource. Thank you!

This PowerPoint presentation provides the necessary information for years 10-11 to plan and complete their speaking and listening assessment. This PowerPoint is aimed at the EDUQAS spec, but could be very easily amended if the criteria were changed for a different specification. I use this presentation as an introduction to S&L and then let the students complete research on the computer to start creating their presentations. With my classes, I find it is very helpful to print this PowerPoint for them so that they have a reference / guide to help them throughout the planning of their S&L presentation. This PowerPoint includes: - an overview of what the students are expected to present - what the students can use to support them during their presentations - criteria from the EDUQAS mark scheme - FAQs

This resource is tailored for the EDUQAS specification. As a current EDUQAS examiner for Language Component 1, I am skilled in creation of accurate paper questions. This singular Microsoft Word resource includes: an extract from a story (similar in length to those that the examining body EDUQAS use) 5 questions, worth 40 marks, following the same format as EDUQAS use I have used this resource with my class as a walking talking mock which has been brilliantly effective, especially when using the visualiser. It could also be set as a complete Language Component 1 Part A mock examination.

I used this resource with my GCSE groups to practise part (a) of the EDUQAS Poetry exam (in component 1 of the Literature paper). This exam-style lesson focuses on improving students' knowledge of, and skills they need to answer, part (a) of the poetry paper. It uses Philip Larkin's 'Afternoons' (from the EDUQAS anthology) as the focus poem. This resource includes: - A engaging and well presented PowerPoint - A 'home-made' exam paper for Philip Larkin's 'Afternoons' (which is based on the SAMS materials in order for my paper to look as 'realistic' to the students as possible) - A reflection sheet for the students to complete after they have finished their exam style answer to part (a) of the exam. Thank you for viewing and I hope your students find it as helpful as mine did!

This resource has been created by myself in an aim to support my students with their home learning of Macbeth - a surreal necessity at the minute! It’s a Microsoft Word document with enough annotations to ensure a good understanding of this Shakespeare text. This does not include really high level analysis and development but it does make this fantastic resource accessible to all ability levels. I would suggest that this would prove a good resource to use in any of the following situations: Remote learning Accompanying resource for classroom teaching Homework setting Booklet creation for students who have missed Macbeth lessons (i.e. students off school with long-term illness) Please find a link here to the FREE download for the annotations of act one scene two - /teaching-resource/free-macbeth-act-1-scene-2-annotations-12282841

I created this free resource when re-reading the Dickens novel 'A Christmas Carol' in preparation for teaching it to my year 10s next year. I wanted to take some really key (quite short) quotes from the novel that would be easy for my students to remember and use for revision. This resource could easily be used in lesson by making it into a test / quiz - the students would need to be confident in answering 'who said' the quote and in what context it was said. Equally, this resource is great to provide students with as part of a larger 'A Christmas Carol' pack. If this resource is helpful to you, please leave a review.

This resource is a set of 13 mini-quizzes designed to test students’ understanding of plot and key quotations needed in the studying of Romeo and Juliet. Each quiz is 4 or 5 questions long and the answers are included on a separate slide. Research shows that revision in short-bursts supports students with the recall that is necessary for the English Literature GCSE exam. I use this 5-a-day revision resource to support my year 10 and 11 students with their recall of their Shakespeare text. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

This resource is aimed at GCSE English Literature students studying Romeo and Juliet. It is a whole lesson which includes: a quick test (with answers) on act 1 scenes 2 and 3 annotations, key word definitions and key questions on the scene (act 4 scene 3) a table worksheet encouraging students to make inferences and match those to key quotations and relevant terminology students then write their own PETER paragraph and self-assess it LO: to develop our skills of inference Feedback gratefully received.

This resource contains a Powerpoint lesson created to help my students revise the use of STRIVE (subject, tone, rhyme and rhythm, imagery, vocabulary and effect) which aids them in analysing an unseen poem. It also contains a Word document which is a copy of Harrison's poem, 'Long Distance II'. This lesson is an excellent resource to introduce using STRIVE as well as using it for revision purposes. It is aimed at set 3 and 4 ability, however could easily be adapted to add stretch and challenge. The Powerpoint provides details for students of different levels of analysis that they could comment on in this poem. For example, after asking students about what imagery they could focus on in 'Long Distance II', there is an animated text box which gives some detailed examples of commentary on the poem. Please comment and rate if this resource has been helpful for you and your classes, Thank you

This scheme contains: 8 complete lessons (PowerPoint) Typed fiction extracts - ready to use! Modeled responses and exam answers Attached homeworks Please leave comments and reviews, all are gratefully received. Thank you

A worksheet which gives examples of relative clauses and then gets students to write their own. There is a ‘spooky stories’ theme to match our current year 7 unit and ‘challenge’ boxes will help to stretch and challenge your more able students. This resource is easy to use for whole classes or for individual intervention and is presented in an engaging way. Please leave comments and reviews, thank you.

This resource is a full lesson (PPT and resources) ideal for year 11 or year 10 revising the poetry anthology.
