This 43 slide resource quides A level students through the poem ‘September Twilight’ and encourages them to think about the content of the poem before offering possible explanations of why Glück has used certain words, phrases or techniques. There is also some suggestion about criticism and lens that students could apply to this poem in their exam as well as an exam-style essay task that is broken down into manageable steps for students. I hope that you find this resource useful. Reviews / comments are gratefully received.

One off class looking at articles and how to structure them for the IB English B Paper 1.

Lesson about access to higher education and a lead in to proposal writing for HL. Uses one task from the IB book.

A short lesson on how to structure a blog with an education focus. This forms part of my ‘Social Organisation’ theme.

A step by step guide on how to address Q3 when asked to write a journal. There are some slides that I have borrowed from another powerpoint and then I have put the rest together myself. For this class you will need to have access to the 0500 2020 P12 exam paper - May / June. I have written the codes for the other examples of journal questions in the notes section. I hope this helps :)

Six lessons taken from the Collins iGCSE English book, but adapted with knowledge of the 2020 and beyond spec for iGCSE First Language. The series of lessons cover things such as: Skimming and scanning Understanding explicit and implicit meaning analysing implicit meaning in character and setting emotive and sensory language I have used some experience as an examiner to help with the powerpoints, and I hope you find it a useful resource in your lessons. Please leave me feedback if you like this source. Thanks in advance, Kirsty

Lesson adapted from the Oxford English B textbook with an article used to introduce the idea of volunteering. I don’t like working from a text book as I don’t feel that it is as effective, so I have transformed it into a powerpoint lesson with resources.

A three lesson powerpoint covering a reading comprehension, listening comprehension and features of diary writing.

I have tried to put together a comprehensive walk through of Paper 13 May 2020. You will need to download this paper and the insert to follow the lesson. It will take approximately 4 x hour lessons to complete. It is not exciting nor fancy, but should give students the knowledge of how to answer the questions. Any feedback is gratefully received :)

This powerpoint aims to walk students through the stages of answering question 2d using May 2020 Paper 11. I believe the key to students doing well in this exam is learning the steps and applying them throughout all their practice papers. The more they practise, the quicker they will become. I hope that this resource is useful for you, and hope to receive feedback too!
