EDUQAS GCSE Poetry Anthology Revision Lesson - The Students Teach Each Other...

(0)
After studying 6 poems in the EDUQAS Poetry Anthology, I wanted to check the understanding of my group. I decided to make them teach each other about the poems! This resource is a very clear and well structured PowerPoint presentation to explain to the students what they will be expected to complete over a 2-3 lesson period. The students worked in groups, each focused on a different poem, to create a 10 minute presentation and accompanying activity to teach to their peers. I found this to be an excellent revision resource which doesn't really need any differentiating between sets, however I would suggest grouping students according to ability. The students had a really clear understanding of the task, following this presentation, and I was very impressed with the 'lessons' they produced!

Apostrophes for Omission / Contractions

(0)
This is a full PowerPoint (for a 1 hour lesson) which I have used with year 7, 8 and 9 groups. It can be helpful to give the students a reminder of apostrophes for omission before attempting to teach them about apostrophes for possession. This lesson could also be used as a cross-curricular or whole school resource to help students in other subjects understand the importance of correct grammar and amend their work as necessary. This PowerPoint is colourful, engaging and includes a challenge task which stretched the more able in my group. As a plenary, the PowerPoint also includes a peer assessment task.

GCSE English Unseen Poetry Revision 'Clown Punk' by Simon Armitage

GCSE English Unseen Poetry Revision 'Clown Punk' by Simon Armitage

(0)
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 Armitage's poem, 'Clown Punk'. 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 'Clown Punk', 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
Blood Brothers character and theme revision

Blood Brothers character and theme revision

(0)
I created this resource for use with my year 11 class who are following the EDUQAS specification, although this revision resource would be useful to any exam board where Blood Brothers by Willy Russell is a set text. The revision lesson is mainly discussion led and then I gave them the print out of the PPT afterwards for them to take home as it contains higher-level points and very detailed notes that we didn’t have time to delve into during an hour long revision session. This lesson includes: tasks organising character cards by theme (class/money, nature vs nurture, fate/superstition, coming of age/growing up and violence) reorganising character cards into order of importance (e.g. which character do you feel the most sympathy for) a model on how to ‘explode’ quotations and then examples for students to try two exam-style questions for students to mind-map responses to All feedback gratefully received, Enjoy!

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.
