A viewing booklet covering all of the main scenes and sequences in Shaun of the Dead. There are boxes for making nots on all 5 elements of film, plus ideology and narrative. There are tables at the end for making notes about mirrored scenes and jump cuts. It’s ideal for A Level Film Students.

The sheet explains how syndetic lists differ from lists using commas. It then requires the students to write their own syndetic lists using common nouns and proper nouns and abstract nouns and verbs and adjectives and adverbs. (See what I did there?)

I have copied the text from the Edexcel Anthology and interspersed it with boxes for students to write notes in. The boxes have questions, headings or quotations in them to help guide the learners.

Each of these is an A4 sheet covering one of the poems from the Lit exam. Included are: Blessing; Half Past Two; Hide and Seek; Poem at Thirty Nine; War Photographer. They are very useful for revision purposes. They can be enlarged and used as posters, too.

Edexcel have not done a great job of providing SAMs for the new IGCSE, and there are few past papers yet. I have created lots of them. They closely follow the format of the SAMs and past papers. Many of the unseen resources are from old spec IGCSE lang papers. This one uses Danger of a Single Story from the Anthology. It also has a full marks scheme.

This 26 page booklet breaks the film down into all its scenes. Each page has boxs for notes on 4 elements of film (not sound), plus expressionistic and realistic aspects. This makes it perfect for preparing for the Silent Film questions in the exam.

Because Edexcel have not been too great about creating SAMs for the new IGCSE Language spec I decided to have a go myself. This one is a Paper 1 which closely follows the foramt of the SAMs. The unseen text is one from the old spec, and the Anthology Text is Danger of a Single Story There are two writing questions, too, and the whole thing looks just like a real paper. There is also a full mark scheme.

The mark schemes provided by the board are great, but they tend to be very specific to the questions in the SAMs and past papers. So I could issue a highlighted mark scheme to all my stdents, whatever the title I set, I pared the Eduqas schemes down to the bare bones. In other words, where an Eduqas Global Film scheme will mention the specific elements of film idenitified in the question, mine does not. I find that using these schemes makes the students very familiar with the recurring key words and phrases, and helps them target their responses more relevantly. I have also included a box at the bottom for you two write comments and targets, as well as the mark.

Because Edexcel have not been too great about creating SAMs for the new IGCSE Language spec I decided to have a go myself. This one is a Paper 1 Reading section which closely follows the foramt of the SAMs. The unseen text is one from the old spec, and the Anthology Text is The Explorer’s Daughter.

This novel by Attica Locke is new on the Edexcel A Level Lit course in the Prose Unit. There’s very little out there yet to support students’ learning as they read, so I have developed an analysis sheet to accompany each chapter. Depending on the importance of each chapter, each sheet has all or some of the following: A space for the students to write a brief synopsis of the events of the chapter; 1 - 8 short answer questions to develop their understanding of the plot and characters; A space to record anything interesting or important they found about the language, form and structure; A space to record any relevant contextual information which aids understanding of the chapter. Some of the sheets also contain a Deep Dive question, which requires them to write a 500 word response to a character or theme based question. Each sheet has fields for the students can type directly into.

This resource contains 11 key extracts from Book 1 of the novel. They have been selected because: they are, in themselves, interesting and revealing moments which shine lights on the settlings and characters of the novel; they are often good examples of Braddon’s style and techniques; and they match very well with extracts from The Cutting Season, which is the novel I pair this one with. Each extract is followed by two boxes: one which allows the students to make notes on any relevant social, historical or biographical contexts which shed light on this extract; the other which encourages the students to make explicit links between this novel and The Cutting Season. If you are pairing Lady A with a different novel, you can easily change the wording in these boxes so they match your choice.

This resource is intended for A Level Lit students, but could work with able GCSE students studying ‘Hamlet’. It works best if the pupils already know the whole plot (from, say, watching a production) and who are now embarking on the nitty-gritty of studying each scene. It is presented here as a Word document whose boxes expand as they are typed in. I find this helps the students’ revision because the questions are near the answers, and can easily be added to as their knowledge grows. I encourage the students to include as much quotation as they can and to do so in a different colour text, again to aid revision later.

There are two writing questions, too, and the whole thing looks just like a real paper. There is also a full mark scheme.
