The PPT contains lessons that I created for an entire study of the whole novel. It contains 168 slides and lessons are clearly separated by lesson title slides. The PPT was designed for other teachers to be able to follow as I was creating this for the other teachers of the Grade 10 to follow. The final assessment at the end of the unit is a writing assessment that requires students to retell a narrative event of their choice from a specific character’s point-of-view, and include content that shows an understanding of the cultural practices of the tribe.
I have also included the overview of the scheme of work.
The lessons are ‘IB MYP’ style lessons.
The Statement of Inquiry: Stories are an effective way to communicate a society’s cultural beliefs, traditions and values.
Global Concepts: Personal and Cultural Expression
Key concept: Communication
Related concepts: Character & Context
In this investigation, students use their knowledge of showing outcomes by listing and sample space diagrams to explore the chances of winning in different games.
Including the assessment, rubric, task specific clarification, marking guidelines and sample answer.
Recommended for MYP2.
In this investigation, students use their knowledge of perimeter and linear sequences to explore properties of a uniquely defined shape.
Including the assessment, rubric, task specific clarification, marking guidelines and sample answer.
Recommended for MYP4.
Full assessment:
A six-part structured question to help students reach the aim set
Authentic context to support meaningful reflection on answers
Criteria C and D rubrics for MYP4/5
Strand-aligned task-specific clarifications
Complete working and solution
In this task, students are asked to find the ideal pricing strategy for an event based on research conducted on a sample of the target population.
Students should be able to:
find the equation of a line given two points
understand function notation e.g. f(x)
move between different forms of quadratic functions (standard form, factorised form and vertex form)
sketch a quadratic function given its equation
It is recommended to give students 1 hour for this task. Advised is non-calculator or at least a non-graphical calculator so student’s function sketching skills can be assessed. Also having students structure their own answers on a separate paper allows criterion C (communication) to be assessed more completely.
The Bayeux Tapestry, designed for Year 7 History, but could be used across other age groups in KS3 if adapted.

A critical reflection exercise follows where students are challenged to objectively scrutinise the validity and reliability of the tapestry as a historical source; a collation of evidence over two slides is provided for print or digital view for them to consider and then write an informed response to as a way to conclude the lesson.
Crossword activity also included, can be printed out.

The tasks are marked using the MYP Criterion B strands and are supported by full teacher mark schemes.
What is included:
3 editable Criterion B student tasks
3 teacher mark schemes
In-class assessment format
Research question practice
Hypothesis writing practice
Variables tables
Results table construction

The three tasks cover:
Osmosis: effect of sucrose concentration on potato cell mass
Diffusion: effect of concentration gradient on rate of diffusion
Membrane permeability: effect of temperature on pigment leakage from beetroot cells
The tasks include practical-style investigation planning, data collection design, repeated trials, graphing decisions, and interpretation of biological trends.
Students work with key biology concepts, including osmosis, water potential, partially permeable membranes, diffusion, concentration gradients, passive transport, cell membrane structure, phospholipid bilayers, selective permeability, temperature effects on membranes, and absorbance measurement using a colorimeter.
The resource is fully editable, allowing teachers to adjust the wording, level of support, investigation context, practical details, data tables, examples, or mark scheme expectations to match their own teaching sequence and the specific content delivered in class.
The teacher mark schemes provide model answers, accepted alternatives, scientific explanations, validity notes, graphing guidance, and advice on what stronger responses should include. This supports consistent marking and helps teachers see how students can access each Criterion B strand.
This resource is suitable for MYP Grade 10 Biology, in-class Criterion B assessments, end-of-unit inquiry practice, assessment preparation, classroom assessment, or revision of investigation design skills within the Cell Biology unit.
15 Sample Questions:
This resource is designed for IB MYP Language and Literature educators seeking to help students prepare for their e-assessments. It provides a variety of practice questions that closely align with the demands of the MYP e-assessment format, specifically for Task 3: writing functional text. The aim is to offer students valuable opportunities to hone their skills in crafting responses to real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding of purpose, audience, and format.
The sample questions in this resource are carefully crafted to reflect the different types of functional writing students may encounter in the final assessment. These include letters, reports, articles, and speeches, allowing students to explore various registers, tones, and styles. Each question is accompanied by helpful prompts that guide students to focus on critical aspects of functional writing, such as clarity, conciseness, and appropriate use of language for the intended audience.
Additionally, this resource offers suggested rubrics and marking criteria that follow MYP assessment standards, making it easy for teachers to provide constructive feedback and for students to understand how they can improve. Whether used for class exercises, homework assignments, or mock assessments, the questions are designed to progressively build students’ confidence and competence.
Incorporating these questions into the classroom will help develop key skills required for successful completion of the MYP e-assessment. This resource is ideal for teachers looking for ready-made, high-quality practice materials that can supplement their current teaching approach while providing students with a solid foundation in functional writing tasks.

Suitable for MYP or GCSE Drama.
This is a straight forward table for students to practise their conjugation of *venir, être and aller in the present tense, as well asconsolidate their understanding of passé récent (je viens de + inf.), présent (je suis en train de + inf.) and futur proche (je vais + inf.) with two differentiated sheets and the colour- coordinated correction. I created this for a phase 1 MYP1 class (KS3) as we were finalising the Leisure and World of work units, but this could also be useful revision for GCSE, IGCSE, IB French Ab Initio and French B classes.
In this activity, students will practice answering questions in Spanish using the future tense about other students in the class! For quick and easy differentiation, you can print out the same copy and have students choose to use the simple future tense (ir + a + infinitive) or the more advanced future tense. The activity includes 14 questions (7 fill in the blank and 7 translation) and is personalized to the interests of the students in the class. An answer key is also included for the future tense. This is a print and go activity and can be used any time after teaching Spanish future tense and students will be very engaged as it is all centred on them and their fellow classmates!
Optional extension: I tally their answers afterwards and create a quick PowerPoint of ‘Most Likely To’ and have students who were most chosen to send me in their photos.
