Assessment Sheets
LAPJLAPJ

Assessment Sheets

(0)
Assessment sheets which allow quick feedback to pupils. This set of sheets includes reading feedback (based on PEA/CE writing structure) for the novel, Shakespeare and poetry and writing feedback based around the old National Curriculum standards. As most schools have now developed their own levelling system any sheets that previously included the NC numbers have been included both in the NC format and in a format with blank space to write in new levelling numbers or letters - whatever you've gone for :)
Macbeth 1:1 powerpoint
LAPJLAPJ

Macbeth 1:1 powerpoint

(0)
This powerpoint introduces some of the main themes of 1:1 and the play as a whole. It tackles the scene in a simple way that reassures students Shakespeare isn't so hard while also introducing some complex ideas about interpretation of the witches and the context of the play. This is the first in a series of lessons on Macbeth - I hope to be uploading more soon.
FLARRDs Persuasive Writing Techniques
LAPJLAPJ

FLARRDs Persuasive Writing Techniques

(1)
A lesson to teach six persuasive techniques to Year 7 students (although could be used with other KS3 years or even KS2 depending on ability level). Students love the Norwegian looking FLARRD and enjoy trying to pronounce it in an exaggerated way. The drawing was a very basic doodle of what a FLARRD might look like -you could swap this for your own interpretation. The grid can be used as a beetle drive style game - students roll a dice and then have to find an example of the persuasive technique before drawing that section of their creature, this would require you to provide one or several persuasive writing extracts that feature the six techniques or alternatively you could ask students to write their own examples. This lesson is designed to be used as part of the Survival Guide SOW, which is available in my shop, although it can be used independently.
