This PPT includes:
a recap of Paper 4 (writing) for both foundation and higher level, based on Edexcel
success criteria for a good piece of writing
an analysis of an exam question (based on the topic of my area)
a model answer (with gap fill and answers included)
sentence bingo (based on all topics)
Here you will find a PowerPoint that has everything students need to prepare for mock exams and the real deal in June.
Based on several existing resources from Edexcel and BBC Bitesize as well as Pearson text books, this complete guide gives you and your students a one-stop shop for everything they need to pass the reading sections of the GCSE English Language exam paper, 1+2.
This booklet has been put together to support KS4 students through the Edexcel GCSE French specification in terms of the speaking element of the syllabus and can help particularly with the general conversation component of the examination.
The booklet is broken down into the five themes:
Theme 1 - Identity and culture
Theme 2 - Local area, holiday and travel
Theme 3 - School
Theme 4 - Future Aspirations, Study and Work
Theme 5 - International and Global Dimension.
Each theme is then broken down into the eight individual teaching modules.
Each module includes ten key questions and pieces of important vocabulary for the module and ten key verbs, conjugated in the first person in six tenses alongside the infinitive.
There is also a handy acronym that can be applied for students to ensure they include complex structures.
The booklet is produces as a Word document that can be adapted to need and can be printed out as such or as a booklet if you have the facility on your printer drive.
A bank of questions for the Edexcel Speaking exam conversation element. Questions are organised by theme into one handy booklet. Each question has a model answer to support less able students and space for students to prepare their own response in the target language. Ideal for students to keep all their speaking exam preparation in one place!
A booklet of conversation questions to prepare pupils for their GCSE Spanish speaking exam. Questions are divided into topics within the 5 themes covered in Edexcel. There is also a vocab bank at the back for pupils to fill in.

-"¿Qué pasa podcast?" is a series of 22 podcasts with accompanying transcripts, grammar and exam-like activities for Edexcel GCSE Spanish Higher Tier lessons. This resource contains an entertaining story linked to 22 podcasts and worksheets with activities, such as “Sentence Builders” and Edexcel exam-like exercises. The study guide can be used for self-study as it has the answers at the end or by non specialist teachers.
-“¿Qué pasa, podcast? Soy rapero y YouTubero”, is a comprehensive practical study guide for Edexcel GCSE Spanish that will help your students to succeed in their exams. It uses humour and a fresh engaging story, written in the first person from the point of view of a 15 year old boy called Alex. Alex lives in England but he is bilingual in English and in Spanish. He spends every summer at his grandparent´s house in San Sebastian, Northern Spain. There, he learns about Spanish culture, food and festivals, before coming back to school in England. You can try this resource viewing a sample with the first two podcasts via this link https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12830867
-The podcasts have been written to facilitate practice and learning of the Edexcel Spanish GCSE syllabus. The resource is divided into 22 podcasts with follow-up exam practice questions, plus there is a final worksheet on characterisation, which acts as a bridge to the A level syllabus.
-The students can listen to the podcasts conveniently while they are on the go and they can listen to them while reading the transcripts and before doing the GCSE exam-like questions.
-Each podcast includes at least one GCSE Spanish topic and overall the resource covers all the main GCSE Edexcel topics. To help students learn vocabulary relevant to the GCSE topics, the podcasts include words from the Edexcel vocabulary list.
In addition, each podcast has one or more grammar teaching points. A table with a list of both the GCSE topics and the grammar points used in this booklet can be found on pages 6 and 7. Each podcast has around 150 words. The resource can be used in different ways: to complement your teaching, as a revision booklet, for independent study, to set homework or for cover lessons.
This resource can be differentiated. For lower level students, we suggest that you use the texts as reading exercises, whilst higher level students, can listen to the podcast first and attempt to answer the questions before reading the text. The music used in the podcasts has been written by my 15 year old son, whose artistic name is Lil Reddy, you can check out his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLuRXSjGyHPXtVhLdp7X3KQ

A marksheet to record coursework of your classes. You only need to add their name, first name, form, predicted grade or anything you might want to add for info... then everytime you complete a coursework, enter their mark in the column "Mark /20", a grade will appear and the total column will also fill itself up. Once the final grade is a C it turns green, B yellow and A or A* orange. Very good visual for students and yourself to track down where your students are working at. Any queswtions, please don't hesitate to leave your comments!
