Mrs M teaches English

Average Rating4.66
(based on 46 reviews)

I absolutely love teaching English to teenagers! My resources will always be free as I feel a responsibility to give back to the profession which has been the source of so much joy in my life. Too many teachers operate on shoestring budgets and have to pay for resources themselves. I hope that in some small way I can make lesson preparation easier for you!

Bellringers: analysing cartoons & memes

(0)
A selection of 30 cartoons / memes for analysis. This can be used as a bellringer activity, at the beginning (or end) of a lesson. Students are required to peruse the image (on the screen) and then to analyse it in as much detail as possible. Each slide is accompanied by detailed model answers. Recommended usage: one slide (ie cartoon / meme) per week, as part of a programme of daily bellringer activities.

Visual Literacy - analysing graphs

Visual Literacy - analysing graphs - bellringer activities Note: created for South African students in the IEB curriculum. A number of colleagues have requested exercises, tips for teaching vis. lit. My students are not great at analysing graphs / interpreting statistics. I have created the attached 12 ‘bellringer activities - graph of the week’, for use at the beginning / end of a lesson for the coming term. You can project the image on your screen, and discuss answers with your classes. Or, you can print in colour on an A3 page, giving one page to each group in the class.
