Content Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide teachers with support and information on planning, creating and delivering their lessons throughout the year.
Teachers will need to refer to this document when planning and delivering their textbook-based lessons and creating their own non-textbook-based
lessons.
The Scheme of Work is divided into sections which provide the following information and content:
This section provides teachers with an introduction to the Scheme of Work and an explanation of how the textbook-based lessons and the non-
textbook-based lessons are organised within the Scheme of Work.
2. Supporting information
This section provides teachers with an explanation of the information contained within the Scheme of Work template. This section also gives teachers
advice on completing the Scheme of Work template for their own non-textbook-based lessons.
This section provides teachers with a number of suggested differentiation strategies that teachers may wish to use in their planning to help meet the
needs of the pupils in their class.
Teachers should refer to the Content and Learning Standards contained within the Scheme of Work. These Content and Learning Standards come from
the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the Curriculum Framework document.
This section provides teachers with supporting explanations for some of these Content and Learning Standards. It also provides explanations of important
terms used in some of the lessons. These terms are mainly found in the Learning Outline section (see the first table in the Glossary of Terms).
This is the main section of the Scheme of Work. It provides teachers with details for the textbook-based and non-textbook-based lessons.

7. Appendix 1: Learning Standards mapping
This section consists of a table which lists all 112 lessons in the Scheme of Work and their Learning Standards. The mapping table enables teachers to
see the coverage of the Learning Standards at a glance.
What is the Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work and how can it help teachers?
The Scheme of Work gives teachers an overview of every lesson in Form 4, including the Content and Learning Standards which must be covered
within each lesson. The Scheme of Work will assist teachers in their daily, weekly and long-term planning of lessons.
What does the Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work consist of?
The Scheme of Work consists of 112 lessons with each lesson lasting a total of 60 minutes. If lessons are organised into 30-minute lessons, teachers
will need to plan and adapt their lessons accordingly. Each lesson in the Scheme of Work is numbered from Lesson 1 to 112.
A. Textbook-Based Lessons: The materials for these lessons include learning activities from the selected Form 4 textbook. This textbook is Full
Blast Plus 4 and Form 4 will cover the content from Unit 1 to Unit 8 of this textbook. All skill lessons (Reading, Writing, etc.) are textbook-based.
B. Non-Textbook-Based Lessons: For this type of lesson, teachers will be responsible for developing the lesson content and creating the
necessary learning materials. There are two main types of non-textbook-based lessons in Form 4 Scheme of Work: Literature in Action and
Project-Based Learning Lessons. Revision lessons can be based on the textbook or use additional materials according to pupils’ needs.
Almost all the lessons in the Scheme of Work are textbook-based lessons. Skill-based lessons, Literature in Action Lessons, Revision (including
mid/end of year revision) and Project-Based Learning Lessons are organised into lesson cycles.
Typical lesson cycles
Each unit (units 1-8) of Full Blast Plus 4 provides teachers with enough materials for 8 skill-based lessons and 2 Language Awareness lessons. Each
unit contains two Revision lessons to allow teachers to either review and extend learning or reteach certain areas that teachers believe should be
retaught based on their observations. Mid/end of year revision lessons and Project-Based Learning lessons are also included in certain units. See the
lesson cycles in Unit 1 in the Scheme of Work as an example:
1. Lesson
Each lesson within the Scheme of Work is given a number followed by the lesson type. For example: Lesson: 7 (Reading 2), Lesson:
24 (Writing 4).
3. Theme
The four given themes are:
4. Topic
Topics are taken from the associated textbook. Topics for non-textbook lessons are either guided by the Literature Component content or
decided by the teachers.
5. Cross-Curricular Elements
Each cycle of lessons has been assigned a specific Cross-Curricular Element. Teachers will need to refer to the section on the Cross Curricular
Elements in the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) for further guidance. Teachers are encouraged to link their
lesson to other Cross Curricular Elements, in addition to the suggested one given, if they identify opportunities where relevant cross-curricular
connections can be made.
Teachers should also be aware that the main skill and complementary skill are not normally given equal time and attention within the lesson.
Teachers will need to ensure that the complementary skill is covered, but the degree of attention this receives in comparison to the main skill
will be up to the teacher’s own professional judgement as they will know better the specific learning needs of their pupils.
Please note that some Learning Standards appear less frequently than others. Less frequent Learning Standards must be covered as they
appear in the Scheme of Work. See Appendix 1 for a map of the Learning Standards coverage.
9. Learning Outline
The Learning Outline provides guidance to teachers for the delivery of a lesson. Three main stages of every lesson are highlighted: Pre-lesson,
Lesson Delivery and Post-lesson. Teachers will also need to refer to the Teacher’s Book, which provides detailed information about the delivery
of the textbook activities for textbook-based-lessons.
The Lesson Delivery stage is where the main and complementary skills should be both addressed to develop pupils’ language skills. Teachers
should create their own Learning Objectives for each lesson based on the specified Learning Standards - both for the main skill and the
complementary skill. . The Learning Objectives should relate to and reflect the activities in the Lesson Delivery stage.
As teachers are working with pupils and supporting their learning, they should be aware of their pupils’ development and the emerging
challenges. Throughout the lessons, teachers are expected to use formative assessment strategies (e.g. questioning, scanning) to assess
pupils’ progress and give clear and meaningful feedback. This feedback should enable pupils to understand which areas they need to pay
attention to and how to improve. Of course, teachers are not expected to give every pupil feedback after every activity in every lesson.
However, teachers should use all opportunities available to communicate feedback to pupils and help them take ownership of their own
learning.
Teachers are encouraged to follow the instruction in the Lesson Delivery stage when provided because it reduces lesson preparation time and
ensures the Content and Learning Standards are addressed.
Pre-lesson activities activate and review pupils’ prior knowledge by, for example, reviewing relevant learning from a previous lesson or using a
short activity as an opportunity for pupils to share what they already know about the lesson topic or language. They provide an opening to the
lesson and get pupils in the right frame of mind for hearing, reading and using English. They are often whole class activities which are fun and
engaging. Pupils are all active in these activities physically as well as mentally. This can help teachers to manage energy levels before settling
pupils into their learning.
Post-lesson activities are short activities that take place at the end of lessons to review and consolidate the learning from a lesson. Although
post-lesson activities can be fun and should not be too challenging so that pupils leave the class in a positive frame of mind, they are an
important stage that should be planned by the teachers. During the post-lesson stage, teachers can conduct a quick and informal evaluation of
the lesson and the pupils’ understanding of the learning that have taken place. Post-lesson activities can be used for formative assessment and
can give teachers an overall evaluation of the pupils’ development and indicate any issues individual pupils might have. Evaluating learning in
the post-lesson stage is particularly useful when new language is introduced for the first time or followed up from a previous lesson. Therefore,
teachers should give careful consideration to the purpose of the post-lesson activities they choose for their lessons. Post-lesson activities are
not, therefore, optional extras to be done if there is time. Teachers should make sure to leave a few minutes for post-lesson activities, even if
they are running short of time in their main lesson stages.
i) Give pupils standard ‘gap fill’ tasks but add in multiple-choice options for the less proficient pupils. For example:
I 1._____ (think) that identical twins are fascinating. They 2.______ (have) the same DNA, but they…
I 1. think/am thinking that identical twins are fascinating. They 2. have/are having the same DNA, but they…
ii) For grammar analysis boxes where the use of a grammar form has to be completed or matched to a reason , give the activity as it is to all
pupils but give the correct answers to less proficient pupils and add additional, clear examples that they match to the analysis. Give more
proficient pupils sentence writing, e.g. requiring them to write new sentences based on the prompts a-d (habits, scientific facts, etc.) using
the present simple.
iii) For activities involving filling in a table or categorising, add some items into the table in advance for less proficient pupils but leave
other pupils to do all the items themselves, and add some additional items for more proficient pupils.
iv) For a standard writing activity, pupils write an email using the prompts provided but give less proficient pupils a skeleton or an outline to help
them organise their ideas. Ask more proficient pupils to write responses to other proficient pupils’ emails.
Sometimes, you can also give different tasks to more proficient and less proficient groups of pupils according to their needs and interests: see
strategy 6 for more on this.
Another way to differentiate by task, if using the same task for the whole class, is to include some open-ended items which allow for a large
number of correct responses. This can vary in terms of the amount pupils produce or the complexity of their answers.
Tasks might include:
brainstorming lists
creating mind maps
thinking of examples
playing games requiring personalised answers, e.g. about their families / favourite food
doing a presentation of information

fast finishers Pupils who are able to work at a faster pace on a specific activity than the majority of pupils in a class. They are therefore ready
to move on to the next activity sooner than the majority of pupils.
peer-assessment Involving pupils in the process of assessment by asking pupils to give feedback to a peer on specific aspects of their learning,
such as a specific aspect of the quality of a piece of work. For example, when a pupil gives feedback to another pupil on an
aspect of their learning, the feedback takes the form of two things that were good (stars) and one area for improvement (wish).

self-assessment Involving pupils in the process of assessment by asking pupils to self-assess specific aspects of their learning. For example,
learning diaries kept by pupils can reveal areas that need clarification or specific skills that need further development
talk partners Providing pupils with an opportunity to talk through their ideas with a partner or in a small group. When teachers give pupils time
to discuss their ideas with a partner or in a small group, they can assume that everyone in the class is ready to provide an
answer.

we’ll have to go a different way).
An action is something done to do something. Examples of actions are: carrying a heavy bag to school; jumping for a ball
in PE; taking a book out of the school library. An event is an occurrence; something that happens. Examples of events
are: a race in school sport’s day; a birthday party; a school competition. A simple process is a series of actions or steps
taken in order to achieve something. Examples of simple processes are: preparing food; painting a picture in art; creating
a plan for a writing activity.
