I created this for the revision of Frankenstein at GCSE level. This is a multiple round team quiz. It can be given to individuals but it works better with teams because it encourages them to discuss the myriad of potential answers. Each slide has the answers in its notes. Some rounds (such as the picture and music ones) have answers which are not so definitive. If a student gives a different answer and can justify why they have chosen it, allow them the point, as this is where the revision is happening. I tend to do a round and then ask them to swap papers for marking. This means you can keep a running total for each team and make it more competitive. For the music round, I access Youtube. If your school does not allow you access, I recommend downloading the tracks and making a playlist on your phone or laptop. The objects round is optional. Prior to the quiz lesson, you can set a homework task - students must choose an object that symbolises one of the characters and be prepared to give their reasons why. If they do the task well and there is a decent range of different characters, it will work as a round. Alternatively, they could be like my class where every single member 'forgot' to do their homework... I have a similar quiz for Romeo and Juliet, so please look at my other resources.

Victor Frankenstein’s best friend, Henry Clerval, is the latest poster in my Frankenstein series. Each poster in the series displays quotes that will be useful to explore as revision for the English Literature GCSE. If printed in A4, they are ideal for general classroom use, while A3 makes for decent wall displays. You can even create individual revision booklets for students by reproducing the posters in A5. There are a number of different ways these can be used in class. Blanking out areas of the poster (in Powerpoint or with good old-fashioned white-out and a photocopier) means you can ask students to fill in the blanks. I often ask students to link each of the quotes or comments to a given theme and then explain why that quote is significant. The posters can also serve as inspiration for students to make their own, based on other characters and/or other texts. Other characters in the series which are currently available are Victor, Alphonse, Justine, Elizabeth, The Creature, and Robert Walton. Once I have completed Caroline and The DeLacey family I will make a bundle available so you can save some money if you want the complete set. Please take a look at my shop by clicking on my picture or on the name wezcartoons. There are a number of other texts I have covered (listed below) and I am always willing to take on suggestions for my next series. An Inspector Calls Blood Brothers Animal Farm Twelfth Night Macbeth Romeo and Juliet A Christmas Carol Pigeon English The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

This is from a series of posters I made for revision of the characters in Pigeon English. They each display quotes and comments that would be useful to revise for the GCSE English Literature exam. This poster is of Harrison and Lydia’s mother, who is unnamed but referred to by Harrison as Mamma. A5 prints make for really good individual student booklets, while producing A4 versions is ideal for general class use. If you’re wanting to display them, they look really good in A3. As well as display, these posters can be given as a task for students to build on the quotes, linking each one to specific themes in the novel and/or explaining why the trait of the character is significant. Another common use is to inspire students to make their own poster for other characters. There are currently posters for Lydia, Harrison and Miquita also available and the following characters will be coming very soon: Julius, X-Fire, the Dead Boy, Auntie Sonia, Jordan, Dean, and the Pigeon. Once they are all completed, I will be making them available as a bundle. Please note, I also sell similar posters for An Inspector Calls; Romeo & Juliet; Macbeth; Blood Brothers; A Christmas Carol; Frankenstein; The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde. All can be found in my TES shop - just click on the name ‘wez cartoons’ or on the picture.

This is from a series of posters I created for the revision of the characters in Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman . This particular poster is of Harrison’s girlfriend, Poppy Morgan. A5 prints make ideal individual student booklets, while A4 is perfect for general classroom use. If used for display, they look good blown up to A3 size. As well as display, students can be tasked with linking each quote or comment with a given theme, or expanding on them with an explanation of the significance of each character trait. Another common use is to inspire students to create their own posters for other characters or texts. There are thirteen characters in the series: Harrison; Lydia; Mamma; Auntie Sonia; Miquita; Dean; Poppy; Jordan; X-Fire; Killa; Julius; The Dead Boy and The Pigeon.

This is a Powerpoint presentation on two poems, encouraging practice in analysing unseen poetry for GCSE. I used it with a top set Y9 group who were interested in the general election. It won't work with everyone, and it does require some understanding of the context. The emphasis is on commenting on Theme, Language, Form and Tone and comparing these four sections. The mnemonic used is Turn Left For Tanhouse, because of the local area, but this can easily be changed to 'Town' for more general use. Also included are two Word documents with the poems on, which can serve as handouts for the students to annotate.

This is from a series of posters I made for revision of the characters in Romeo and Juliet. They each display quotes that would be useful to revise for the GCSE exam. This one is of Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet. I printed some out in A4 for my students but they look pretty good in A3 as eye-catching wall displays. I will be uploading Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, Benvolio, Nurse, Friar Lawrence, Paris and Lady Capulet so please look for those if you wish to have the complete set. Other sets available or coming soon: Frankenstein; Blood Brothers; An Inspector Calls; Macbeth. Please get in touch if there is a series of characters and quotes which you would like me to make. As long as it will sell on here, I am happy to put the time in to making them.

A series of lesson plans based on Neil Gaiman's Coraline. This one incorporates grammar and word classes and an APP writing assessment.

Duffy, Armitage and Pre 1914

Lesson to introduce KS3 pupils to different forms that news can take, leading to newspapers. Ppt to accompany this is also available in TES resources.

Lesson based around designing a video game for Coraline, improving on the existing game. Deals with audience and purpose, as well as colour connotations.

This was aimed at able Y9s, but would suit a wide range of pupil abilities. The PowerPoint features the images required for the starter. Pupils were reading 'Al Capone Does My Shirts' at the time.

Complete set of ready to use lesson resources introducing Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Perfect for SEN and EAL students. Low ability Y10s. Second lesson intended to introduce the pupils to the Philip Pullman playscript. Leads to the essay question 'Who is the Real Monster in Frankenstein?' as posted by another TES member. Some slides from this Ppt have been adapted from existing TES resources.
