I provide resources mainly for English (IGCSE and GCSE content), but also post useful Drama resources. There are also brand new English-with-Media resources to choose from, and many materials such as assemblies and certificates that could prove useful to Head of Years. All resources are differentiated appropriately and labelled with key year groups.

This lesson was originally created for my intervention year 7 class, however it would be appropriate for any year 5-6 class as well. This lesson introduces the students to the Industrial Revolution and William Wordsworth, with the aim that students will finish the lesson understanding the intentions behind Romantic Poetry. Students will also be introduced to 'I Wandered Lonely/Daffodils) in order to find positive connotations within the poem, associated with nature.
