24 ready to teach lessons formulated from the AQA Teaching resources to help you develop the confidence of your Key Stage 3 students when reading 19th-century literature. You can download the full booklet for free (http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resources/english/AQA-8702-19C-KS3.PDF) and it comes with teaching ideas, many of which I have utilised, so before purchasing you may want to look at it and design your own lessons. The Outcomes are geared towards year 7 students working towards the new grades 1-9 (Grade 1 - developing/ Grade 2 - good/ Grade 3 - Secure). Some of the extracts are quite long and will need differentiation for lower ability students. This has taken many hours of putting together and tries to encapsulate the language and literature AO's with questions designed to prepare for paper 1 and paper 2 of language. Extracts from: Childhood and family 1: motherless children • Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens (1848) • Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (1838) • Silas Marner by George Eliot (1861) Childhood and family 2: education • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (1847) – extract 1 • Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens (1839) – extract 1 • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (1847) – extract 2 • David Copperfield by Charles Dickens (1850) • Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens (1839) – extract 2 • Hard Times by Charles Dickens (1854) • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (1847) – extract 3 Childhood and family 3: girls and boys • Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (1847) • The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (1860) • Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (1817) • Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (1891) Childhood and family 4: a woman’s place • Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (1814) • Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (1861) • The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy (1886) • Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (1811)

Final 4 lessons (of 12 uploaded) for revision of WJEC reading and writing examinations 2 Foundation reading 2 Higher Tier Writing

23 lessons to teach the play Blood Brothers. Ofsted style outcomes/settling activities etc. I cannot claim that it is all of my own ideas, I have taken ideas from many different sources. I apologise if there are any errors, but there is hours of putting resources together here, feel free to use/adapt/ignore.

Full set of lessons produced for year 9, but using GCSE grades. A lot of time and effort here, so I apologise for any errors. I also thank other people for their ideas that I may have incorporated.

Lessons 1-12 plus resources are also uploaded. A lot of time and effort here, apologies for any errors and big thanks to anyone who I may have liberated ideas from!

Found a few articles on the internet and wrote some WJEC exam style questions (may need to be adapted for higher). Answers are on, to self mark and there is also self/peer assessment for the written task.

The final 8 lessons to study the play Blood Brothers.

Thoughts and feelings and impressions question for year 11.

An extract lesson to focus on language - good one for structure too!

A one off lesson to encourage linking introductions and conclusions in article writing.

Another 4 - 2 foundation reading and 2 Higher Tier Writing, based on past papers.

A set of 16 lessons I am using with my year 9 to prepare them for GCSE. All ideas are adapted from other peoples work, so thank you to the TES teachers and I hope it is of use in the format I have put it together in. No lesson plans, but the PPT's should be self explanatory. Our school is using Pit stops and Pits to show pupil progress and we have A,B,C,D and agree/disagree colour coded cards to use for those activities. Also, the green pen is to show pupil response to Teacher and Peer feedback.

A Powerpoint to aid revision of the writing styles tested by the WJEC, some past paper questions (half an hour per question) sorry the mark scheme looks patchy but it was just a screenshot!

These are a novel way to share outcomes. You can change the subject from English and type in the Unit title. Obviously change my name and picture to personalise for yourself. Insert the first and last slides to your PPT. Getting pupils to comment on what they have learned is specific and sometimes useful.

PPT's to support the teaching of the Power and Conflict poems: Shelley Ozymandias Blake London Wordsworth The Prelude: stealing the boat Robert Browning My Last Duchess Alfred Lord Tennyson The Charge of the Light Brigade Wilfred Owen Exposure Seamus Heaney Storm on the Island Ted Hughes Bayonet Charge Simon Armitage Remains Jane Weir Poppies Carol Ann Duffy War Photographer Imtiaz Dharker Tissue Carol Rumens The Émigrée Beatrice Garland Kamikaze John Agard Checking Out Me History The resources may be used as a starting point (the outcomes and plenaries may be a bit too repetitive but this is reflected in the price) though each one has a different literacy starter (in line with our school policy). Last year I gave out the colour pictures with each poem and pupils matched them up and were able to discuss the imagery created by the poets. Together, we annotated the poems on the board.

A Christmas lesson to keep the pace going.

Thoughts and feelings and impressions questions.

2 Foundation reading, using past papers and mark schemes. 2 Higher Tier writing questions.

Whole lesson - resource has all reading questions for the extract but the powerpoint focuses on critical evaluation.
