A modelled introduction to persuasive writing for low ability pupils. This covers Pros/Cons and the first two paragraphs. Some modelled starters for less able pupils to get going and ideas for finishing off the first two paragraphs. I have used this with SEN/low ability Year 9 pupils and it really helps them to begin to understand the processes behind structuring a piece of persuasive writing.

This resource is based on a typical GCSE French writing task, to write about a bad school day / une mauvaise journée à l'école. (The resource is based on an example response.)
The resource is split into 4 sections:
- Part 1: A good start to the day?
- Part 2: Late!
- Part 3: Trouble at school...
- The Full Essay.
Each section contains a pdf based on the text (with 11 activities to choose from), and a pdf based on the vocab (with 7 activities to choose from). (Over 100 pages in total!)
The text resources in each section include 3 jigsaw reading activities, a multiple choice rebuild activity, 4 different types of gap-fill activities, and a find-the-French resource including the text plus all of the vocab that features in the vocab activities.
The vocab resources in each section include: matching; multiple choice matching; writing the French based on word shapes; cut-out-and-play pairs cards for things like pelmanism or kinaesthetic matching; and dominoes.

Year 10 and 11 - writing an article. (Edexcel and AQA)
I have exhausted the typical article question such as write an article on why ‘homework should be banned’ and ‘school uniform is good’ etc etc… and my classes wanted something new and different. So, I picked something controversial such as whether cycle lanes were good or bad and my classes was surprisingly upbeat and very engaged! They had some really excellent ideas, I was proud of them all!
The PowerPoint went down well and they really enjoyed it.
Enjoy!

This is enough to cover a few lessons on modals and school rules. The worksheet assumes knowledge of wenn, daß, weil etc and word order in producing good opinions and reasons. The mash up doc needs to be chopped up into strips. The notebook file contains the Grange Hill and Mash themetunes and there are real German pix of signs: watch out for the ones towards the end!

Making Sustainable Education Simpler
We've now proven beyond a doubt that a school can offer students a transformative high quality education and cover their own costs through school-run businesses.
The SCHOOL IN A BOX Guide Series aims to make starting such a school easy, and reduce the risks involved to a manageable level.
This series draws together the collective experiences of Teach a Man to Fish, our sister organization Fundacion Paraguaya, and the many school partners we work with across the developing world into nine easy-to-read self-help manuals.
This is my account of what happened when we moved to London and my son (then aged 9) suffered some bullying. (He is now 31 and a professional actor. You may have seen him in the photos and video referred to on Siddhartha becomes the Buddha.)
I wrote this years ago and found it when doing a computer search for Krishna - in relation to my recent Hinduism Day. I think it could encourage some good discussion on many aspects of RE, PSHE and Citizenship.
I have now also uploaded the 'parent' file - Sunlight and Shadow parts 2 and 3
