Preparing resources and planning creative lessons is something I enjoy doing and always endeavour to deliver for my classes. The resources in this shop are resources I've created for and taught to my classes. As teachers, we all know time is scarce, if these resources can save other people a little bit of prep time - then more to the good. There are both free and premium resources for your perusal - I hope you find them useful and your classes enjoy them!

Transition Day - 'All about me'

(2)
A quick starter activity for a lesson on a transition day to find out a little information about new students. There's a push on extra-curricular in our school for next year, so that why there's a space for what clubs they attend at primary school and what new opportunities they'd like at high school. This is our way of finding out, so we can plan ahead! Editable for your own needs.

This is a sample of three more slides from 34 slide PPT I have for sale for £2.

Mini Poetry Scheme: Afternoons by Philip Larkin - WJEC/Eduqas
MissHallEnglishMissHallEnglish

Mini Poetry Scheme: Afternoons by Philip Larkin - WJEC/Eduqas

(1)
This 35 slide PPT contains approximately 4-5 hours worth of lessons (depending on your class and their pace) analysing ‘Afternoons’ by Philip Larkin. This resource is specifically tailored to the new WJEC/Eduqas Anthology for teaching from September 2015. It would be suitable for analysis for other exam boards, especially for how to approach the ‘unseen’ element of an exam. It covers first impressions, opportunities for detailed language/poetic technique analysis, discussion and analysis about tone, structure, themes and context. Homework and revision opportunities are also built in. Some activities are for individual completion, some pair and group work and a timed essay response towards the end, with student-friendly banded marking criteria for self-assessment. I'm creating resources for each of the poems in the WJEC anthology - some of which I've already uploaded. If you purchase this complete resource, please take the time to leave feedback! Thank you.

Eduqas/WJEC GCSE English Literature: Exam - Extract Preparation - Capulet and Juliet

(2)
This resource is for use when preparing students for the English Literature Component 1, Section A (extract question) section of the exam. I have used this with my Y10 set 4 (of 6) and it covered 2 lessons. This may vary depending on your class. The section for analysis is from Act 3, Scene 5 (lines 141-159) and explores some of the argument between Capulet and Juliet. The resource covers how to approach an extract question, putting it into context, annotations (whole class and paired) then completing a table of analysis, before writing their answer up in 20 minutes. I've included model examples in the table and another as a paragraph of analysis. I've have included a breakdown of the assessment objectives (AO1 and AO2) and a brief markscheme with 'Band 5' and 'Band 3' criteria, that links to each AO. There is a slide with exam reminders at the end. You will need to source the extract. Hope it's useful! I'll be adding more of this type of resource as I've used them. Please leave feedback if you choose to purchase, thanks!

I can't claim credit for some of the work here! I begged and borrowed worksheets from other TES users to put the whole lesson together. There&'s a lot to get through in an hour, I required two in the end. Could be adapted for KS3 also. Please leave feedback if you find it useful.

Narrative Writing

I created these resources to introduce my low ability Y10 to narrative writing in preparation for their first and third person writing for WJEC. \n\nIt could be used for high ability Y9 too. \n\nThey really enjoy the first lesson with the receipts; I asked in about in the staffroom for unwanted supermarket receipts, alternatively just collect yourself a few and photocopy them instead of giving each child a different receipt. \n\nFeel free to use & adapt, comments would be appreciated :)
