rewarding experience, resulting in lessons which are exciting and
engaging and enable amazing levels of student progress. This
essential handbook guides teachers through the key events of the
period, offering theoretical approaches and a wealth of practical
ideas for teaching nineteenth-century fiction and poetry in the
secondary classroom. Supporting and inspiring teachers as they
introduce nineteenth-century texts to their students and nurture
their interest and enthusiasm for the genre, Teaching
Nineteenth-Century Literature provides a grounding in the major
historical events of the nineteenth century, describes pedagogical
approaches to teaching fiction and poetry, and offers step-by-step
guidance on the use of literary resources. Chapters offer advice on
overcoming the particular challenges of the genre, including
unwieldy plots, complex vocabulary and unfamiliar sentence
structures, and illustrate how texts from the period can be made
fully accessible to even the youngest pupils. With a range of

extracts for use in the classroom, teachers will be able to quickly
and easily build a scheme of work that is stimulating and
beneficial for children of varying abilities. Equipping teachers

will be an invaluable resource for secondary school English
teachers, students and trainees.
This essential guide offers a fresh approach to integrating grammar
effectively into the classroom as a vital strand of English that
both enlivens and enriches students' understanding of literature.
It aims to demystify grammar and empower teachers with the
knowledge, inspiration and practical ideas to confidently teach
grammar to students at any stage of their secondary education. The
authors demonstrate that routinely weaving grammar into lessons and
the study of literature, rather than teaching it as an abstract set
of rules, enables students to see grammar in a more flexible,
enjoyable and exciting way. Each chapter clearly defines complex
terminology and provides an essential overview of relevant subject
knowledge. With multiple examples of textual analysis and a variety
of adaptable lesson plans for popular Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4
texts, the book shows how grammatical requirements can be taught in
a lively, literature-based manner, developing students'
understanding and improving the quality of their creative and
academic writing. Taught like this, grammar becomes a decoding
tool: a key to unlocking deeper meaning within texts that enriches
the reading experience. Considering a wide range of texts, Teaching
Grammar through Literature thoroughly works through core
grammatical concepts such as: sentences and sentence clauses nouns
verbs determiners punctuation extension vocabulary. This book is a
source of fresh and exciting ideas for all practising secondary
school English teachers. It will revolutionalise teaching and
enrich students' understanding of literature and the grammatical
theory within.
