Everything you need to teach Act 1 Scene 4 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This is also available as part of a complete scheme of work whereby a considerable saving can be made; further details can be found here. The lessons have been created specifically for teaching at GCSE level, and cover the key assessment objectives for AQA: understanding of the text, language and structure, context/themes/author intent (although equally applicable to other exam boards). Differentiated outcomes and tasks allow you to reach all learners, although I would recommend the lessons specifically for middle to higher ability students. Throughout the scheme, students are encouraged to make notes and annotate the text, as this will be a valuable revision tool when preparing for exams. Teacher notes are provided to help explain and guide you through all phases of the lesson, with a range of interesting and engaging tasks for you to choose from. Importantly, full analysis is provided for all the tasks set, to enable you to lead interesting and engaging discussions which will deepen the students’ appreciation of the text. Strictly speaking, there is probably a lot more here than you would fit into a 1 hour lesson, so you may wish to spread this over a couple of lessons, or perhaps be a little selective with the tasks you wish to do.

*Updated for 2018* Here I have a lesson on using evidence and quotations in reading responses (AO1 for any AQA teachers out there!) Skills building is a great way to develop your students across all their set texts and for both language and literature. I've found it to work really well as revision in the run up to the exams. I used the short story 'Examination Day' by Henry Slesar as source material and students learn about the following aspects of AO1: * Active reading strategies to find appropriate evidence for use in a response * Making thoughtful and judicious choices when selecting evidence (quotes) * Using embedded quotations * Using quotations from different points in the text within one paragraph(synthesis) * Revising and perfecting the skills at home with the revision worksheet It's all ready to go. Would suit middle and higher ability students and little adaptation is required. This is geared towards the new AQA specification, but would work equally well in preparation for other exam boards as the skills are quite generic. As an AQA examiner, I have tailored this lesson to pinpoint some of the common pitfalls that candidates make in relation to using evidence and quotations in their responses. All fully resourced and ready to go with no adaptation required. I have attached a PDF copy of the short story - though I am not the copyright author for this resource and have attached it purely to facilitate the activities in the lesson. The TES preview function seems to be playing up with some of my resources at present, though I can assure you they will download correctly as I have tested this myself.

This is a 31 page, fully loaded revision, study and comprehension resource for J.B Priestley’s ‘An Inspector Calls.’ This has been written with the latest AQA (9-1) GCSE English Literature specification in mind, but I’m sure this would work equally well with other exam boards. I’ve tried to make this revision guide as active as possible, so there are lots of activities and tasks for students to do as they work through the booklet. There’s a good balance of information and engaging tasks for students to work through. Contents of this guide run as follows: * Visual summary of plot - with cloze (fill the gap activity) to complete as they go. * Storyboard resource for students to then recall the plot and key events from memory *Form and structure comprehension questions *Settings questions * Context (students explore key issues raised in the play such as patriarchal society, capitalism, wealth divisions etc, making connections between context and events in the play) * Key Quotes - Students explore key quotes through analysis of their meaning and significance, quotes are broken down chapter by chapter and provide thematic links etc. * Themes - Students make connections between themes, characters and events in the novel * Characterisation - Students have to complete a character profile for all the main characters using the study tasks provided * Key Terminology - Exploring some key terminology and vocabulary that will deepen their understanding of the play as well as impress examiners. * Exam question - a series of exam questions worded and structured in the same way you will expect to find them on the new 9-1 literature paper *Exam Techniques - Hints and tips on how to maximise performance in the exam. Definitely a grade saving resource that enables students to fully prepare for the exam and to explore the text from lots of different angles.
