Contains Lps and resources. Afraid LPs are related to my own group so won't all make sense. The case studies I have included are good to encourage learners to write a personal profile tailored to that person.

These are a few resources I used for the Employability Award (Level 1) I delivered this year. It's a bit all over the place I&'m afraid as I have most of it hard copy at home so never really used it. The booklets, learning aims/objectives and marking criterias are all from the OCR website.

Attached is a wall display idea I got online and the quotations, images and information I found to accompany. Please use as you wish. Kids in my class loved it. Some images and ideas are that of various other people. Just draw a magnifying glass and inspector outline on black backing paper. Thanks.

This is a SoW that I have developed for my middle to lower ability year 10s. Use and adapt as you wish. I have gathered the reosurces from TES and also created some myself. I will try and upload these later. Thanks.

Use and adapt as you wish.

Graded outstanding by Ofsted for this lesson. First lesson on Causley's What Has Happened to Lulu? This is a lesson for my middle to lower ability year 11s in preparation for their CA. Please feel free to use and adapt as you wish.

This is a SoW that I have designed for my middle to lower ability year 10s. Use and adapt as you wish. I have gathered some of the resources from TES and created others. I will try and upload resources later.

I gathered this idea from the Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) site. I teach a range of students whom dislike receiving verbal compliments in class and saw this as another way of rewarding their good behaviour/work. I made four of my own cards to suit my expectations in class and the others are from the TPT site. Just an idea to motivate some children (I use for my KS3 classes mainly).

Please feel free to view and adapt as you wish. This is designed for my LA year 8s on the theme of aliens as a stimuli to motivate them for a scheme on figurative language.

A SoW for a year 7 class based around writing for different purposes including AO5/AO6 (AQA), some exam style questions and VSPaG interventions. This was created as a department with some ideas taken from other resources that have been adapted over the years.

I am developing a scheme with accompanying lessons for my year 8 poetry class. This lesson is looking at the technique of onomatopoeia and is for a LA year 8 class. Resources for future lessons will be uploaded weekly so please look out. A basic lesson that you can use and adapt as you wish. Thanks.

A variety of resources used with a mixed ability class. I can't take credit for all resources as gathered resources from other places too (thanks to those people), but use as you wish.

Ok this is the first knowledge rich unit that I put together for Y8 based on Steinhbeck’s Of Mice and Men. My school wanted us to create new knowledge contextual booklets and work from these rather than endless printing. I have created a detailed scheme of work following five stages of a lesson - Do Now, Explanation/Reading, Modeling, Deliberate practice and Plenary. I have included all lessons in the scheme, the context booklet and glossary. It is by no means perfect and I gathered some ideas from other members on TES and some other resources I collected many years ago. Contains a variety of assessment opportunities including creative writing, speaking and listening and extended writing opportunities (focusing on analysing language and structure etc). It took a very long time to create but I hope you can use some of it.

Made as a department at school. Conflict poetry from the AQA Moon Of The Tides anthology. This has been made for Keystage 3 year 8 to support them before Keystage 4 study.
