Subject Topics to be covered

Key Learning

Modern Text (Either ‘An Inspector Calls’ or ‘The Woman in Black’)

Students study either ‘An Inspector Calls’ by J B Priestley or ‘The Woman in Black’ by Susan Hill. They read the full text and explore the plot, characters and themes in detail. Students will develop skills to analyse how the language, form, structure and context of the novel create meanings and effects as well as develop skills to maintain a critical style and informed personal response. The skills they practise in this unit are assessed at GCSE in the English Literature exam (Paper 1b). *One lesson per fortnight will focus on improving writing.

Pre-exposure Homework

1) Watch film versions of the texts ‘An Inspector Calls’ or ‘The

Woman in Black’. 2) Research the lives of the writers. 3) Read other novels/ plays by the same writers.

Natural Forms (continued)

Students will: Select a natural object and using their recording skills produce a series of detailed observational resources. Record using a wide range of different techniques looking at line, form, tone and texture. Research and respond to a range of artists who explore natural forms in their work. Develop their research and observational studies into a creative composition.


Students can also select from the following activities to support the Natural forms unit of work: 1) Select an inspiring natural object, for example a Shell, Flower, Fruit etc if possible take some close-up photos of this object. 2) Use the internet to research the work of O’Keefe and use You tube to watch Sam Taylor Wood’s ‘Still life 2001’ – How are these artists Similar/different? Any visits to galleries would also enrich the wider understanding of art – take photos if possible or collect leaflets.
