I've created three mock Literature Exam style papers for practicing exam skills with my top set year 11 group. Having no past papers to go from thus far, they're just my attempt to give the students a 'realistic' feel for the types of questions they may experience. Feel free to adapt and change.

Some lessons and resources that I use to teach Stone Cold.

A few tasks that I've set for prep for the AQA Media Studies exam on Crime Drama. Apologies in advance for any errors on the slides -- sometimes I don't catch all my mistakes.

More lessons and resources for a non-fiction SOW looking at the Olympic games. Please see Part 1 and 2 of same name for rest of SOW. I cannot claim ownership of all the resources, but I did create the PPTs myself, based on other stimulus. Apologies for any spelling/grammar errors - I don't catch them sometimes!

I've made the following resources to help support 9th Grade English coursework; in which students write a controlled assessment analyzing a theme within a Shakespearean play as well as across at least three different poems. I've focused on Macbeth and conflict this year; so thought I'd share some of the lessons I plan to use. Aligned with Common Core State Standard: W.9-10.2, W.9-10.4, W.9-10.9, RL.9-10.1, RL.9-10.2, RL.9-10.3, RL.9-10.4

PowerPoints and ther resources on "Never Let Me Go".

Some files missing from my original upload (GCSE Media Studies Intro Unit)

These are Literature Circle tasks to aid in the study of 'Never Let Me Go'. Also included are the lessons to use to go through the chapters of the novel - reading is done outside of lesson, so you may find that you go through each 'lesson' PPT at

Resoureces I've adapted and created as part of an introductory Media Studies unit.

PPTs I created to support a GCSE study of A Taste of Honey (Shelagh Delaney).

The following are all of the lessons that I created for a SOW centered around a whole class reading of The Ghost of Thomas Kempe. Focus is on getting students used to writing PEEL paragraphs. . End result is a reading assessment looking at how tension and suspense are built in the prologue.

The following resources I've adapted or created to create a scheme of work intended to introduce year 8 students to the codes and conventions used in print media, focusing on magazines and newspapers. For lesson 8, I did not save a digitical copy of the two articles used. They are &'How to stop vuvuzelas from taking over the world&'; by Conor McNamara and 'A stern defence of the vuvuzela&' bu Paul Geiss. I found these online, and hope that you&';re able to obtain through a search :) Please visit my website to download the entire SOW.

The following is a basic introduction to movie media for 6th-7th grade. It requires the use of the DVDs of Stormbreaker and the 2005 version of Beowulf (the age appropriate one). It also makes use of Oxford University Press 'Beowulf' text (Keeping and Crossely-Holland). Students start by looking at how heroes and villians are typically represented in movie and television, then study conventions of DVD covers, and finally focus on review writing.

A scheme I created looking at television, focusing on the topics of genre, audience and a little representation. End result is an analysis of the opening sequence of Doctor Who, with a written and practical element.

A look at the differences between how deodorant products are marketed to men and women. Includes a written analysis as well as a practical production.

The following are PPTs and handouts I've created or found to use as part of a unit of study using a Post-1914 play. The play I've used (with great success for two years now) is David Calcutt's adaptation of Dracula.

This is the second half of the unit I'm currently doing with my year 7 groups. The first half required them to work on their writing skills. My intention here is to introduce them to various forms of poetry by showing a few examples and then having them create their own poems. Can be adapted and changed as needed.
