A full scheme of work guiding students through A Christmas Carol. There are two lessons on context, multiple lessons on every stave, and then a series of lessons which walk and talk students through the planning and writing of essays, including exemplar materials. Every lesson also includes a retrieval task to recap prior knowledge and all lessons are presented beautifully to engage. There are also homework tasks for each stave, plus quotation quizzes and vocabulary tasks to support learning.

I have created a bespoke reading intervention programme based on the fundametnal principles of Reciprocal Reading, a method championed by the EEF’s research. Each Reciprocal Reading unit has a different genre focus - this unit focuses on extracts from nonfiction. The unit of work is designed for KS3 students with a reading age lower than their chronological age. There are 12 sessions, each fully resources, with an accompanying PPT, extract booklet and workbook for students.

This is a 104-page activity booklet made to be used alongside David Crystal’s book “The Story of English in 100 Words”. I have highlighted on page 2 chapters that are specifically useful to students on the A Level Language course, highlighting particular parts of the book that relate to concepts like borrowing, neologisms, the influence of Latin and Greek on English etc, though of course the whole book is wonderful to read. This makes an excellent transistion task between either Y11 and Y12, or Y12 to Y13. Of course this also could be used for #homelearning #homeschooling as it is a substantial task which can be completed independently (we buy our sixth formers a copy of the book to take away with them).

This complete, fully-resources scheme of work is a comprehensive and detailed unit perfect for Year 10 and Year 11 students studying the AQA English Literature GCSE. For each poem in the collection, there are two hour’s worth of lesson materials. The first hour is more focused on explicitly teaching the poems, introducing students to key thematic and contextual knowledge before using guided analysis questions to support students in annotating the poems themselves. The second lesson focuses on analysis, using the “I do, we do, you do” approach to model effective analysis of a key theme in each poem. There is also retrieval practice for each poem. In addition to 30 hours of teaching covering all 15 poems in the collection, there are also 4 “essay based” lessons, which will likely take two hours to deliver - students are supported in preparing for an analysis question, guided in their planning and then provided with models to help them to create their own responses. A revision Bingo game and quotation quiz is also included - that means in total this unit comprises approximately 40 hours of lessons.
