As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam-style questions.
My lessons are designed to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Teaching notes
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

The lessons contain sentence builders of key vocab, tasks that target key skills needed in the GCSE exam and fun activities students can enjoy whilst also learning.
They’ve all been meticulously created to aid students in their success at the GCSE exam. These lessons DON’t contain the activities from the new AQA book. They are different from what you will find in the book but I did follow a similar structure in terms of content.
The activities in the book are also well-planned and if you have access to them, I recommend using them in your lessons along with the activities created by me.
Please bear in mind that any listening activity found in the lessons is meant to be done by the teacher by reading out loud sentences/texts. NO AUDIO is provided.
Each lesson can also be purchased individually if you wish to do so. I have also started working on Unit 7. Units 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are already available in my shop.
All lessons will be available in my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SenoritaDi

What’s included:
Learning outcomes covered:
o Describing a celebrity - present
o Describing a celebrity - past

Vocabulary based on the official AQA lists + high frequency, useful verb phrases, complex structures as chunks and other universals
Integration of complex structures and idiomatic expressions to help students learn high-level language as chunks
High-frequency vocabulary and complex structures are recycled across several of the sentence builders
How to use them:
Modelling & scaffolding: I use sentence builders as a Knowledge Organiser, a modelling tool when introducing a new topic, and a scaffold for writing and speaking.
Teaching ideas: I have a free document in my TES called “Teaching ideas for sentence builders” that I recommend downloading if you’d like more ideas on how to get started with sentence builders.
EPI methodology: Although I do not work in an EPI school or follow every part of MARS EARS from Gianfranco Conti, these sentence builders could be used for EPI - they are in both PDF and word format so can be edited and adapted.
