I am Head of Humanities and teacher of English, Media, Drama, Geography and History (specialising in Shakespeare and Autism). I've worked for private schools, mainstream and special needs. Currently I tailor my resources to suit mid-ability students but with differentiation allowing teachers to easily adapt to suit higher/lower groups. I make SOWs where the resources are all in one easy to access place, as well as providing learning objectives (even if just overviews) to help with observations.

A complete scheme of work on An Inspector Calls covering 4 key objectives (understanding, context, craft, responding). Aimed at mid-ability GCSE students with most tasks easily differentiated verbally and some access/challenge variations included.
Section comprehension questions and close textual analysis opportunities, as well as consideration of key themes and character analysis.
Hopefully a good starting point for anyone looking to teach this play.

A GCSE scheme of work made in workbook format for Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Using the OFQUAL GCSE assessment objectives and featuring example exam papers as well as a range of comprehension questions and activities, this resource works through the play scene by scene in detail.
There is space to annotate scenes as you go and each can stand alone as a single lesson/resource or be worked through consecutively. Each lesson worksheet features:
Objectives and an aim
The text (abridged slightly in places for clarity)
Unusual word clarification
Comprehension quiz questions (with answers at the end of the pack)
At least 2 activities (such as: character profiles, quotation analysis, paragraph writing, context, staging design ideas, and so on)
EXTRA ACTIVITIES for extensions, homework, cover lessons etc.
I hope that this scheme includes opportunities to differentiate by engagement and provides a range of activities so you can pick and mix as needed - from fun, simple tasks to exam prep. It can be used as a standalone resource, a revision pack, or support your lessons as extra work for classes to complete.
Enjoy :)
An activity pack created for our local theatre group for their upcoming production of The Elephant Man.
This education resource pack has several activities and some worksheets based on the play (and Joseph Merrick’s story) as well as this particular production’s chosen approach.
