Full CIE IGCSE First Language English 0500 Paper 2 Scheme of Work
Prepare your pupils confidently for the full CIE IGCSE First Language English 0500 Paper 2 examination with this exceptionally detailed and comprehensive scheme of work, designed specifically for examinations from 2027.
Covering both Directed Writing and Composition, the scheme contains 48 carefully sequenced lessons and provides approximately 9 to 11 weeks of teaching, depending on the needs, confidence and pace of your class.
The scheme can be taught in two separate parts, allowing you to teach Directed Writing and Composition at different points in the course, or followed from beginning to end as one complete Paper 2 unit.
Lessons follow a clear, step by step structure, with each skill developed progressively through:
• Explicit modelling
• Structured scaffolding
• Guided practice
• Independent application
Each question is carefully unpacked so that pupils understand:
• What the task is asking
• How to plan effectively
• How to shape successful responses
The assessment objectives are explicitly taught and revisited throughout, helping pupils understand the skills being assessed and how to demonstrate them clearly in their writing.
This extensive scheme of work includes:
• 48 fully planned PowerPoint lessons
• Detailed teacher notes for every lesson
• Clear teacher guides to support delivery
• Carefully selected models and worked examples
• Planning strategies and structured writing support
• Opportunities to explore, analyse and improve writing
• Several original exam style tasks
• Guided, independent and timed writing practice
• Preparation for both Directed Writing and Composition
The scheme takes pupils through the knowledge, skills and processes required to respond successfully to every part of Paper 2. Lessons break down each stage of the writing process, from understanding the task and generating ideas to planning, crafting, reviewing and improving a complete response.
Student workbook included
Alongside the PowerPoint scheme of work, a comprehensive 334 page printable PDF student workbook is included. It brings together all lesson activities in one convenient booklet and contains:
• Marking criteria
• Exam skills guides
• Targeted practice activities
• Models and worked examples
• Support for planning and writing techniques
• Guided and independent tasks
• Exam style practice
The workbook is designed to boost pupil independence and engagement while significantly reducing teacher workload.
This is one of my most detailed and exhaustive schemes of work. It provides everything needed to teach the whole of Paper 2, with substantial guidance for teachers and a complete bank of classroom materials for pupils.
The range of models, activities and exam style practice gives pupils repeated opportunities to see what successful writing looks like, practise individual skills and apply their learning independently. It is ideal for teachers who want a rigorous, carefully sequenced and fully resourced approach without having to create additional lessons, models, activities or examination practice.
