These cover worksheets are ideal for staff absences! All 8 require no prep, little/no technology, and are suitable for non-specialist teachers. The worksheets have been designed with convenience in mind! Print and copy a class set of each and keep them handy with the overview sheets. Pupils answer on paper to save copying new sheets each time! The overview sheets allows you or your substitute to see at-a-glance what classes have completed what sheets, and what tech/pupil knowledge is required for each so they can choose an activity suitable for them and the class. Each worksheet should last a lesson, and there are suggestions of extension activities for fast finishers. They are suitable for a range of ages and abilities as I have used lots of open and general questions. The sheets are dyslexia-friendly with careful choice of layout and fonts. Pupils can work independently with no assistance from the teacher, perfect for non-specialists. The worksheets cover a range of topics. Each has an icon in the corner to help you sort them quickly if they get mixed up. The range included means these can be used for General Music, Choir, Orchestra or a range of other music classes. They are aimed at years 7-9 /S1-3 BGE but are general enough to be used with older or younger classes too. This set of sub sheets includes: A Year of Music A-Z Questions Composer Profile Film Music Moment Plan a Jukebox Musical Plan a Music Festival Song Research Task Stop the Bus I really hope you find this product useful! I have used these successfully with my classes for years and they are so convenient for when I am absent or leaving classes to cover due to exams, concerts, shows and trips. I recommend pairing this resource with my set of 16 music wordsearches!

Cover lesson task for KS3 drama pupils. The task is scaffolded so that pupils can complete it independently with little to no input from the teacher making it perfect for lessons covered by non-specialists. Pupils work through simple tasks on the sheet to help them to organise ideas for a play before they write their own script (e.g. ‘A genre or topic that interest me is:’; 'My play will be set in the following place: '; etc). This could be completed over more than one lesson to allow pupils to develop their writing and create longer scripts. They could then work practically to create scenes of scripted drama using their own or each other’s work. Pupil ownership / engagement: Top writing tip from David Walliams’ radio talk with Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 (paraphrased) Scope for pupils to write about whatever genre, topic, characters, setting etc that interests them **Challenges: ** Use stage directions. Use different vocabulary for each character to show their individual personalities. What does a play look like? Format your work like a professional playwright would! **Resources required: ** Pens / pencils, paper or workbooks, the worksheet provided OR Computers / laptops for pupils to type their work & the worksheet provided (alternatively it could be emailed to pupils to save trees… we all <3 trees!)

Lesson 2: Describing approaching the door (rising action / building tension) Lesson 3: The other side of the door (climax) Lesson 4 (optional): Neat write up of their 3 part description of the door ‘for display’ The lessons indicate that the writing should IMPLY, not state (i.e. my take on ‘show, don’t tell’), whereby certain rules are included such as 'you cannot use the word ‘door’.
