I teach English across Key Stages 3-5, and I teach Film Studies at A Level. I try to create resources which are easy to use and which, for KS4 and 5 pupils, will aid their revision for exams. My resources tend to be word documents, so they can easily be adapted to suit your students' needs.

H is for Hawk - full text with boxes for notes

(0)
This is the full extract for the Edexcel IGCSE Language specification with boxes at various points for the students to write in. The boxes contain questions, prompts and ideas to help focus their notes on language and structure. I find them very useful in the classromm, espcially with lower ability pupils. They would also work really well for pupils forced to learn at home because of Covid outbreaks, for example.

World War One Soldier Slang

World War One Soldier Slang

(0)
A handout containing 36 examples of slang commonly used by soldiers in the trenches of WW1, plus their definitions. For example, ‘Barkers’ were sausages, because the the meat in them was thought to come from dogs. ‘Dead soldiers’ were empty beer bottles. I give these sheets to students who have just studied Journey’s End and ask them to write a short play set in the trenches in which the characters use some of the slang terms. It could also be useful when writing fiction or even non-fiction pieces about the war.
A unit which uses 'Kes' to develop students' knowledge of film form and their creative writing.

A unit which uses 'Kes' to develop students' knowledge of film form and their creative writing.

(0)
In my school, lower ability students only do Language at GCSE which leaves a little free time which we are starting to use to increase their media literacy, with the aim of increasing numbers for A Level Film Studies. This brief unit (which should only take a couple of weeks) builds on their existing knowledg of literary techniques, and uses extracts from ‘Kes’ to improve both their understanding of film and their creative writing. It involves: revising and using common literary devices; exploring the 5 elements of film form (as contained in the Eduqas spec); an analysis of how character and setting are established in the opening scene; narrative writing based on the scenes where Billy trains Kes; descriptive writing about an animal of their choice. It is written with Edexcel IGCSE Language students in mind, and is a great lead-in to the H is for Hawk Anthology extract. However, it could easily be adapted to suit any spec. It would also work well with bright Year 9s.
Short-answer and extended questions on Act 3 of 'Hamlet'.

Short-answer and extended questions on Act 3 of 'Hamlet'.

(0)
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.
