I created these two PowerPoints for a Year 11 class in preparation for a Controlled Assessment. Analysis and Context included. I have adapted it to suit a low-ability KS3 class, which link up nicely with the essay help sheets.

I created this for my Year 9 class who were preparing to write their Gothic Story assessment.

Atmosphere, character and setting.

Teaching of Act 5, Scene 1 with example paragraphs.

Here are several PPTs all linked to teaching ‘The Outsider’ by Albert Camus at IB level. However, these could be adapted for A-Level or other groups. Links to context, as well as close text study. For clarity, the PPTs do contain another text as an IB resource so should you require exclusively ‘The Outsider’ then this resources may not be for you.

I made this for homework for a mid-set Year 10 class. This was designed to consolidate their understanding and keep for revision. There is also an opportunity for extended writing.

I used this with my C/D borderline students to push them to use higher order punctuation in their writing. It worked incredibly well.

This is a PPT I created on the topic of Satire. It goes into enough depth for a top set, which can easily be deducted for lower sets. A fun lesson to teach.

The PPT and resources create a beautiful lesson to show students how to go from a level 5 to a 6 in English, with regards to reading. I chose an extract from a book that the class were reading. You may find you need to adapt it for your particular group.

This session has been designed to use in a two hour revision session. I have designed it so that you can spend 30 minutes on each section of the exam (Q1 and Q2 combined). The text is 'The Invisible Man' by H.G Wells. It includes marked examples and group resources. There is also a take-away exam paper at the end of the revision material to test students knowledge of the day.

This resource has been designed to use in a two hour revision session. We did this with four English teachers, in 30 minute slots. You will need to print some of the slides to make this work.

I use these resources with my low ability Year 7 class. It helps to keep students on task and achieve at their own pace. The colour coding and regular 'check-ins' helps me to know where students are and LSAs to support on different tasks.

A short powerpoint detailing the use of anaphora and epistrophe.

This SOW has been designed for Year 9 students, but could also be used for revision and teaching for Y10 and 11. The idea behind this SOW is that it is an 'in-depth introduction' to the first act of Macbeth. The full SOW is here, along with colourful and interesting PPTs for each lesson, some with videos embeddedThe activities are ranging in challenge, with suitable starters and plenaries for all lessons. Lessons are also structured around SOLO Taxonomy: building knowledge throughout the lessons.

How to use the two devices in writing.

Hopefully helpful for those preparing for the language exam.

I created this series of PPTs to use with a low-ability KS4 group. They had had a lot of significant upheaval in their learning and I needed to get a CA question done quickly, hence the limited focus on particular scenes. Enjoy!
