I created these tasks mainly to hit the NC statement, “increasing their familiarity with a wide range of books, including…modern fiction, fiction from our literary heritage…” after realising that many of my pupils had never even heard of (let alone read) many of the classic stories from our heritage. These tasks provide samples and accompanying tasks from 15 classics (both older and modern.) Please note: the 75 files were too large for one listing on TES, so I’ve compressed them into a zip file. I’ve also uploaded one lesson separately (Hound of the Baskervilles) so you can see the resource. What’s Included: *15 complete reading comprehension lessons, made up of: -The extract in Microsoft Word format -The extract in Notebook format (for Whiteboard projection) -Questions with response spaces (plus points per question, like SATs papers) -Just Questions (for higher ability pupils or just to save on photocopying!) -Suggested answers (my TA does these tasks with small groups, so the answer sheet comes in handy) Useful for: -Whole-class comprehension lessons -Small group work (E.g. Round Robin Reading Groups) -Boosting / extra support for poor readers Titles: -Alice in Wonderland -Great Expectations -Northern Lights -Stardust -Stig of the Dump -The Butterfly Lion -The Hound of the Baskervilles -The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe -The Secret Garden -The Star of Kazan -The White Giraffe -The Wind in the Willows -The Wizard of Oz -Treasure Island -Wonder

This revision resource contains six mindmaps, all on separate A4 sheets, which cover the main themes and characters of Virgil’s Aeneid - (Aeneas, Dido, Morality, War, Loss and Family) - and include critical quotations as well as context and quotes from the text. The document is therefore six pages in total, and so provides a thorough examination of the text as a whole. These can be used in the study of A Level Classical Civilisation, which is what I was studying in 2018 when I created them. The fact that the notes are so colourful makes them especially helpful for visual learners.

I will be uploading other A Level resources in the future.

A useful start for Year 8 (and even Year 7) pupils into Classical music. The task is a comprehension with the document - students answer questions based on picking out information from within the comprehension. Pupils then summarise information from the questions to come up with 5 most important points about the Classical era. This is a document I'd re-worded from Wikipedia, adding and omitting bits where I saw fit. There are all kinds of things that can be added on such as more about instrument inventions, more composers, pieces of music etc. Any feedback would be great, thanks!

Classical music worksheet - comparing two pieces by Beethoven. This is a great introduction lesson to the composer Beethoven. It’s a chance for students to learn to compare two contrasting pieces (these are easily accessible on YouTube - 1st Mvt of Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise). This single lesson activity will work perfectly for class lessons, homework or a cover lesson. The worksheet starts with some basic historical facts about Beethoven and simple comprehension questions. Then there is a comparison question where students listen to 1st Mvt of Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise. These pieces are easily found on music streaming sites. Students will describe the musical features of both pieces and then look for similarities. This is a great opportunity to develop understanding of musical elements and lead into to class discussion work about the music that they are listening to. This worksheet links with the Middle School Music Curriculum that is available to purchase on Passionate About Music Education page.
