I am an English Teacher at an SEMH secondary school. My resources cover a wide range of key stages and abilities to cater for the complex needs of my students. Often my resources will be designed to appeal to older students with a lower ability content, but they still work well for younger students also. I have a big interest in Phonics, low ability resources with a high interest level for older students, creating useful displays and making stickers to aid in my marking.

Shakespearean Insults Display Shakespeare

(0)
A set of twenty four Shakespearean insults with the play citation. Not seen on the preview, but on the mock up of a display board: they are presented with aged paper as a background and the pack includes a Shakespearean Insults header page. I have found them to be a really useful way of engaging students with Shakespeare. My students had lots of fun using Shakespeare quotes to insult eachother and me (in a light hearted way of course!) I would suggest cutting the insults into individual strips for your display. Lookout for my Shakespeare Display Bundle and save money by buying the facts and phrases display at the same time.

Halloween Internet Treasure Hunt Differentiated End of Term Cover Lesson suitable SEN Special Needs

(0)
I created this resource for students at my SEMH secondary school who have a varying range of abilities. This is a perfect resource for an end of half term, or a cover lesson. It is highly engaging and my students always enjoy these tasks. Whilst made with SEN students in mind, it would be suitable for mainstream primary and secondary age students. I have made three levels of challenge from low primary school levels with cloze passages, and sentence starters, up to a more challenging “treasure hunt” aimed at KS3 students working at age appropriate levels. There should be something there for everyone! I have also included teacher answer sheets for easy marking. I hope your students enjoy this as much as my students do.

I had a yearlong salaried placement in Secondary English at my home school, including a half term placement at a different secondary school within my federation. I was graded Outstanding for my teacher training year. I was offered a permanent role at my home school for my NQT year before the end of my first term of training. My placement school also offered to create a permanent role for me, but I chose to continue my employment at my home school. These are the standards summaries and appendices lists for each Teaching Standard that I created for my standards/evidence folder during my training which you may find useful for reference purposes, or to give you an idea on how you might assemble your own folder. I have also included some guidance on how I went about putting my folder together, and how I organised it. Additionally, I have included an acronyms/abbreviation list. I use these throughout my summaries and appendices, and whilst some are very obvious, some may not be. There are eight summaries, eight appendices lists, one guidance sheet and one acronyms sheet.
