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.

Year 9 Film Studies Unit based on scenes from Jaws and 28 Days Later

Year 9 Film Studies Unit based on scenes from Jaws and 28 Days Later

(0)
We don’t offer Film at GCSE at my school, but we do at A Level, so we have decided to include some short units in English in Years 9-11 to familiarise the pupils with the subject. Here is what we will be doing with Year 9 for the last couple of weeks of the summer term. The unit starts with the students researching the 5 elements of film which the Eduqas A Level covers: cinematography, mise-en-scene, sound, editing and performance. They then explore a (totally non-violent) scene from early in 28 Days Later, using these new terms. This will take a couple of lessons. There is then a longer section where the pupils explore the beach scene in Jaws in several different ways. This culminates in a task which could be a written piece, a group presentation or a podcast. It’s up to you. The final section contains two silent clips from live action and animated movies. The students then create their own Foley sound for one of those clips. All the clips the links needed are embedded into the ppt. The PowerPoint SoW is accompanied by a 12 side pupil booklet they can use for making notes and writing their responses.

Edexcel IGCSE Language Paper 1 with Danger of a Single Story

(1)
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.

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.

Lady Audley's Secret - Book 1: Useful extracts for analysis and comparison

Lady Audley's Secret - Book 1: Useful extracts for analysis and comparison

(0)
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.

Of Mice and Men Context Booklet

Of Mice and Men Context Booklet

(1)
For Edexcel IGCSE Literature, pupils need to include lots of relevant context in their exam essays on the novel. I have designed this booklet as a handy way for students to collect lots of context stuff in a way that makes it easy to refer to and revise from. There’s a page for exploring how the title, taken from Burns’ To a Mouse links to each chapter in the novel. Next, there are pages dedicated to each chapter, with plenty of room for recording textual examples and quotations as well as context. The final pages are organised by character, so the students can quickly revise the relevant context connected to each of them. Please note: I haven’t included the contextual information in the booklet. This is merely a handy way of organising what they find out.
