Scheme of Work
Sixty pages covering both GCSE English qualifications at once — Language and Literature are separate GCSEs taught in the same lessons, and this plans both. All four statutory text categories, no set texts named, so it works with whatever your department teaches. Every unit shows a piece of student work with the error in it beside the repair, and there are six printable diagnostics at the back.
- 1aLanguage: Reading Fiction, and Writing to Describe and Narrate
- 1bLiterature: The Nineteenth-Century Novel
- 2aLiterature: Shakespeare
- 2bLanguage: Non-Fiction, Comparison and Writing to a Viewpoint
- 3aLiterature: The Modern Text — Fiction or Drama from 1914
- 3bPoetry Since 1789, and the Spoken Language Endorsement
Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. Phases rather than single lessons, because English is timetabled at three to four hours a week.
Two things follow from the subject rather than from a house style. It plans two qualifications at once, because English Language and English Literature are separate GCSEs taught in the same lessons by the same teacher. And it names no set texts, because the four text categories are statutory while the particular novel, play and anthology are not.
Neither English GCSE is tiered, so there is no entry decision to make and no separate pathway to plan.
