Themed on mountains (who knew THAT would come up in 2022??) this is a quick recap of the skills and approaches I teach for LANG 2. Apologies in advance for the bitmojis and inevitable typos. NB - Mountain is spelled wrongly on purpose. At the end of the lesson I ask if they have noticed the deliberate mistake - in every lesson I’ve taught the kids DO NOT. :S

INspired by resources found all over the place this is a whole scheme that wil support a class in their first study of the text. Includes differentiated activities. Presumes readign happens outside of lessons too. Designed to support EDEXCEL English Lit 1-9

Moral Panics and media effects, will need personalisation for groups and modernising as the years pass (as media moves so quickly) but good enough to get a Y12 group discussing what the media does to manipulate the audience.

12 Angry men is a TV drama written by Reginald ROse in the 1950/60s. It is an excellent text to use in preparation for studying AN INspector Calls as it addresses isues of prejudice and class. I teach it to Y9. I hope you find it useful.

PPt for Othello - to teach as an A Levle text aimed at supporting EDEXCEL A Level Lit.

these are all diplays I put up in teh canteen where the students gather just before they sit their GCSEs - in past years I have been told that these have been very helpful last minute prompts. Don’t see why you all should reinvent the wheel!

resource for teaching all poems in EDEXCEL GCSE ENglish Lit 1-9 Relationship section. I hope you find it helpful.

A bunch of resources for A Level that supports the study of the EDEXCEL Lit course. I hope you find it useful.

Whole school literacy resoruces. Also English resource regardign Haiku (numeracy) cheeky one!

Looking at the cross media skill of interpolation - no idea is new and nothing is truly your own!! Generally gets students talking about why they think what they do and what makes an opinion leader.

An 11 slide long single lesson intro to Clay Shirky’s enD OF audience theory - lots of links to ted talks etc.

A short-ish PPt about Todorov theory for narratology - also Propps character types on a sheet. Good for students of media studies who have not done GCSE.

Two to three lessons (depending on the kids) addressign the key theories behind the genre in Media studies. Suited for A Level students who have not done GCSE.

17 pages of key terms and definitions. Enough to stuff the heads of even the keenest learners. Shamefacedly copied from a website with a free licence and turned into a word doc. share the love!

time’s short - a quick revision lesson that lets them share ideas and work collaboratively. you’ll need copies of the poem ‘look we are coming to Dover’ and copies of the mark scheem (page 58 of the current SAM)

Using pre-exisiting resources as a springboard I have created a radio PPt for AQA A level media. There are project tasks to do with industry and overall reviews. you can download the rationale document for Life HAcks mentioned from the BBc website.

A series of lessons designed to reviwe the representations framework requirement for AQA A level but would wor with some tweakign for any board.

a stand alone writng lesson to hel previse for transactional skills

a powerpoint covering the basics for revision or review. with some adaption could be an intro to the framework PPt too. Aimed at AQA but useful across the boards.

I do not charge for my resources. This is not becuase I do nto think they are useful but because I benefitted from free material on TES as a new teacher and I want to repay that favour. Please feel free to use and enjoy! This is a series of ten lessons designed to ‘puppy walk’ a rusty Y11 class through Macbeth. it mainly aims to focus them on the skills for the whole text response but there are 5 lessons that recap the main events of the play. These are customisable so you can build in activities to suit your class. There is some level fo differentiation the tasks that are there. You will need ot create a resource pack of sample answers from exam scripts for lessons 9 and 10. I hope you find this useful, please do let me know, all feedback really appreciated.
