I have worked as an HLTA and MFL teacher for Secondary. These are mainly resources that I knocked up to suit my needs when I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I hope that they may be of use to you as well. Subjects I tend to cover are Literacy/English and Modern Languages but the resources are varied. A lot of the resources are differentiated and suitable for students with EAL or SEN, particularly in Key Stage 3.

Holiday Research
ProfSeverusProfSeverus

Holiday Research

(0)
Literacy A guideline for students to follow while doing a research task. This can then act as a basis for a further lesson on advertising holidays, or as a speaking and listening task - for example, for Entry Level or Step Up to English. It gives them some structure for learning computer room research skills.

How to use Clicker 6 document

(0)
Literacy I prepared this worksheet to help staff navigate through the Clicker 6 software. I laminated the sheets double sided so that they could also be given to new support staff. Obviously the part about saving a Clicker 6 set will be particular to the school, so feel free to edit that. Hope you find it helpful.

Getting to Know You Introduction Games

(0)
A list of different games and activities to use with a new class or at summer school etc. Or just if you want to get to know your own class a bit better. Some would need a bigger space such as a Drama studio but others can be done in the class room. You could also adapt this for MFL and just change the games to be in the Target Language.

ProfSeverusProfSeverus

Apostrophes of Possession Extension

(0)
Literacy An idea for a bit of extended writing inspired by the lesson on Apostrophes for Possession. When it was clear other work was being finished up or the point of the lesson had been grasped, I put this on the board as an extension for those who had finished. Use of superheroes and celebrities just to capture their imagination!

Common Homophones for Revision

(0)
Literacy This is presented on a powerpoint but I printed the sheets out in a size suitable to stick in books instead of asking the weak writers to copy them all out. The students can now refer to this page when given feedback about their spelling. Their They're Their Where Were Wear We're Your You're Too Two To
Apostrophes of Omission Extension
ProfSeverusProfSeverus

Apostrophes of Omission Extension

(0)
Literacy Just one slide. An idea I had for some extend writing but focusing the sentence starters on our topic of 'Apostrophes of Omission/Contraction.' I just put this screen up as students began to say they were 'finished' with the other tasks.

Information and Advice Lesson

Literacy Writing to inform and advice. This lesson was created for a KS3 SEN Literacy group, introducing them to the concepts of information and advice, enabling them to spot the difference and then write their own piece of information and advice writing. Feel free to jazz it up!
Instructions

Instructions

(1)
Literacy The lesson (KS3 SEN) focused on being able to write instructions using imperative verbs or bossy verbs! The starter quiz (uploaded on PDF) is NOT my own but I have uploaded it as that is what I used as a starter. Feel free to jazz it up!

Alphabet Categories Quiz Worksheet
ProfSeverusProfSeverus

Alphabet Categories Quiz Worksheet

(1)
Literacy This is a nice and easy alphabet game that everyone can take part in. I usually allow them to play in pairs. The aim is to fill in the category columns with an answer for each letter. For example for girls' names you might have Annie, Becky, Charlotte etc. I also use it to reinforce the use of capital letters for names etc. It also introduces an element of competition if you would like to use it that way. Feel free to jazz it up!
Holiday Adverts
ProfSeverusProfSeverus

Holiday Adverts

(2)
Literacy An on the board starter and a reading comprehension task based on the topic Holidays and Writing to Persuade or Advertise for an SEN KS3 class but could be adapted for others. The lesson before, students research different holidays. Here they learn what a holiday advert looks like before designing their own. Useful for Literacy classes or Entry Level / Step Up to English. Feel free to jazz it up! *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*
German Pyramid - Opinions, Time Phrases, Higher Order Phrases and Connectives.

German Pyramid - Opinions, Time Phrases, Higher Order Phrases and Connectives.

(22)
*If you're here from twitter, I would really appreciate it if you could write a quick review or send me a tweet if you like the resource, thanks.* MFL - Not my original idea but adapted from a literacy resource, this pyramid aims to help students with their independent learning, specifically when writing. Most useful for GCSE or A-Level, however it can be used across all age groups and abilities due to the built in differentiation - the easier phrases are at the top of the pyramid and they get more complex as you go down. I have included a colour key on some phrases to also help with word order. If you have the time and money, the idea is to laminate each side and to fix them together to make the pyramid as shown in the pictures. The different sections are: Opinions Time Phrases and Sequencers Higher Order Phrases Connectives I have uploaded the document and pics of how it should look once made. If you decide to use this resource, please leave a comment or share. Thanks! Danke!

Film Review Planning and Checklist Framework

(3)
Literacy Film Review Planning - this sheet was used as a framework for students with SEN to make notes on during and after watching a film. Sentence starters are included to help them. Film Review Checklist - the students then typed up their reviews using the framework. They were each given a checklist/task list to tick off as they worked to help them focus on what was important. Also useful for differentiating within a mainstream lesson.
