This is a Key Stage 3 Writing scheme of work that consists of 8 full lesson PowerPoint's and culminates in a writing assessment that mirrors that AQA Language Writer's Viewpoint question for the new specification. Each lesson uses reading skills to help pupils to investigate a variety of texts and to build up an information bank on the topic of the question - which is about teenagers. There are no references to levels / assessment within this scheme so any teacher can add their own assessment model or mark with the AQA Exam criteria.

This is a GCSE booster session for the more able students that will take approximately 2 1/2 hours to deliver (2 if some of the work is given as flip learning - i.e the first tasks). It is a full powerpoint that uses all of the techniques that AQA are suggesting will help candidates to get to the 8s and 9s. It is set up, ready to be delivered and the resource booklet is also included at the end of the ppt. Aswith all of my sessions, tasks and instructions are clear and embedded so that it can be delivered as it stands. This is the first in a series of booster sessions that is targeting the more able and the others will rely on the techniques shown in this one for them to be successful. The session delivers exam technique and how to write the exam style question - it does not reteach content at all. There are WAGOLLs throughout an the focus is on a critical style of writing, references and what subject terminology is. This session could also be adapted to train teachers who are teaching top sets in GCSE Lit. Success Criteria: To know the criteria for level 6 responses (Grade 8 and 9). To understand what ‘going in and out’ of the extract means. To know how to analyse key words / phrases to Grade 8 / 9 standard. To understand the difference between quotes and references. To understand what subject terminology is. To better understand what a critical writing style is.

Jack The Ripper – Documentary lesson This is a full lesson PowerPoint that is ready to teach (with resources if applicable) – although you will wish to adapt it for your own context – it’s part of a Humanities curriculum that is taught to Year 7 pupils, so covers Geography, History and Literacy skills. There are a series of lessons that I have uploaded. They can be taught as a group, or as a standalone as each is an entire complete lesson. This Lesson is to support watching a documentary about Jack the Ripper

This is a full powerpoint with resources at the back of it, designed to help someone to lead a twilight session (approximately 1 1/2hrs to 2hrs) on why we need to differentiate and ideas of how it can be done. The session is interactive with little exercises for the teachers to take art in s that they can consider the impact of the structures for differentiating in their own classrooms. Training covers differentiation for different types of learners as well as ability. If you're buying this, you will need to have some knowledge of differentiation to deliver it, so that you can deconstruct the activities after you have tried them with the trainees.

This is a series of lessons to help prepare students for the AQA Lit question on An Inspector Calls (new spec 2017 exam). All lessons presume that the play has been read and studied and these are purely to help revise key themes and to detail to students exactly how they need to write a response - pitched at that is from Grade 4 to Grade 9 - there are two sets of lessons and they are differentiated. The first ppt. picks out key themes and encourages a framework for students to revise the key themes in the play on their own or by themselves. i.e they skim read looking for quotes. The other ppt.s (differentiated versions - one is 4-7; the other is 5-9) show students how to write effectively about the play whilst hitting the mark scheme. Students are given copies of the generic AQA mark scheme that they break down and use to help them to understand how to succeed. They also mark sample answers / WAGOLLs for success against the markscheme to help their understanding of how to write their own. There are example answers - never seen before, created by me with a formula for how to write responses to highest grades. Best to teach the Revision lesson, followed by the TEE lesson, then let students answer the exam style question. In the next two lessons, then reteach HOW to shape and answer and introduce MAD (Make a Difference) Time - showing and reminding students exactly what they should have done. Also included is a really useful quote sheet for AIC to help students to learn key quotes.

This is a full lesson / self revision aid that helps students to prepare for the Functonal Skills exams in English - aimed at level 2.

The Crucible - Relationships. This is one of several lessons that I have uploaded on the Crucible. The lessons are PowerPoints that are ready to deliver – but you may wish to update them for your own context. This lesson has lesson objectives of: To be ab

This is one of several powerpoint lessons that I have uploaded for the GCSE in psycholgy. The lesson is ready to teach with it's resources (if aplicable). Although, you will wish to adapt and differentiate for your own class. They can be taught together as on averview of the GCSE course, or by themselves. This lesson covers cgnitive development.

In brief, this resource is a full assessment system that can be used both in English and other subjects (literacy across the curriculum) in order to assess the writing grades of students and to help them to diagnose their own areas for development, as well as setting targets for improving writing skills. This is not available anywhere else other than on the TES This system is all my own work and I have created the grade descriptors from scratch, using: The GCSE descriptors or writing from AQA and Edexcel combined – therefore, they are as generic as they can be and are not board specific. My own extensive experience of English teaching and exam marking. Basically, I have broken down each grade from 1-9 and matched them to the skills that pupils should need in order to achieve the grade (as a best fit). This has been done by calculating how old GCSE grades (A*-G) correlate against 1-9 and benchmarking a low C at the Grade 4. Obviously, there will be variation of grades at the end of the GCSE year for year 11, as they are set on a national curve BUT these resources lay the foundations for assessment in KS3 and to ensure that teachers within a school or department can benchmark and describe what they expect each grade to look like and what students need to be able to do to hit a grade in writing. Therefore offering complete consistency and clarity for students and teachers within a school. The resource includes: Grade descriptors for writing for 1-9 9 assessment sheets for each grade 1-9 for both AO4 and AO5 9 assessment sheets for each grade 1-9 for punctuation only, so that teachers can break down the focus if they want to A training PowerPoint for all staff that allows the lead to deliver a fully interactive session All resources for that session A training PowerPoint for the English dept. that allows the lead to deliver a full explanation of how to use the materials All resources for that session This resource is all ready for you to start working with as soon as you download it.

This is a 47 slide powerpoint that breaks down the whole of the reading section for AQA GCSE Language Paper 2 section A, and guides students through a series of activities that show them how to tackle to the paper.

This is a full lesson (but it is likely to span over two) that uses the Edexcel specimen material for the new GCSE Language (2017) with the extract for Little Women - I have uploaded the specimen material for ease with this material. You can get the students to sit the paper and then go through the lesson with them afterwards, showing them what they should have done OR use the lesson to deconstruct a first go at the paper. This is perfect in preparation for the exam as revision or to introduce the format of the exam to the students.

This is a full 1 hour lesson powerpoint that can be used to introduce students to this poem in the AQA Literature anthology. The LO is about helping students to understand the themes within the poem, especially the extended metaphor of the fragility of life. There is a hyperlink embedded in the image on slide 2 which goes to a reading of the poem on Youtube. Each Stanza of the poem is broken down with questions probed about it that will help pupils to understand the various different layers of meaning.

This is a ppt. of 42 original slides that have been created to train drama teachers on the new section C of the AQA Drama GCSE. The materials, although used to train teachers were created so that they could be used to actually teach so, what you have in this ppt is a series of tasks that can be delivered to students so that they have a full overview of the scheme of assessment for the whole course, what the exam looks like, how it is marked and then how to tackle the section C question. There is a break down of the mark scheme and a suggested structure for how to answer with example answers that can be marked and used as a template. It would take approx. 3 to 4 lessons to teach to students.

These are 3 complete lessons that deconstruct the ingredients, tone and structure of book reviews and show pupils how to write one. This little unit of work cumulates in pupils writing their own review. There is a strong emphasis on redrafting and proofing work, too. Lesson 1: To analyse the style and format of a successful review, so that I am able to use this information to prepare my own. Lesson 2: To be able to decipher information that will inform, interest and explain to a reader. Lesson 3: To build on prior work by redrafting and improving it, so that it meets the conventions of a genre.

This is a full and complete unit of work with PowerPoints for each lesson. Every lesson is fully differentiated. The unit starts at G grade and works up in stages from G to C, helping students to work through every stage until they reach C, so the progress is absolutely tangible and demonstrable in pupil's books and in the lessons. All resources and materials and enclosed within each lesson and the PowerPoints are ready to play, but you will need to adapt them for your classes depending on how much you get through in each lesson. Activities are set up to engage all students, as much of the time as possible, with progress for all in mind at all times during the planning. There are quizzes, differentiated goals, competitions, images to help pupils to understand fractions, whiteboard work for AFL, self marking, peer marking, cooperative learning activities for engagement. And, all of this is set against a progress tracker that helps pupils to see how that are moving up from G to C grade. The G to C can be mapped against 1-5, very easily, to adapt this unit for the future - you will see that when you download it. The unit includes: · Multiply and divide fractions including mixed numbers · Add and subtract fractions by finding and using a common denominator. · Find a percentage increase/decrease of an amount · Multiply and divide decimal numbers by integers and decimal numbers · calculate efficient percentage change using a single multiplier · Write one number as a percentage of another number Use percentages in real-life situations such as income tax calculations, simple interest, profit / loss, VAT · Calculate the percentage of a given amount · Compare the sizes of fractions using a common denominator · Convert between fractions, decimals and percentages without a calculator · Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions · Multiply and divide fractions · Round decimals to the nearest integer a given number of decimal places or to one significant figure · Use percentages to solve problems · Write an improper fraction as a mixed number · Add and subtract decimals · Find fractions of amounts · Understand place value, identifying the values of the digits · Understand that a percentage is a fraction in hundredths · Write a fraction in its simplest form and find equivalent fractions · Write decimals in order of size · Recognise and write fractions in everyday situations · Understand a fraction as part of a whole · Visualise a fraction diagrammatically
