1. Content and organisation of the Form 4 Scheme of Work

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.

The Scheme of Work consists of the following two types of lesson:

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.

How are the Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work lessons organised?

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:
