Using research tasks, students create a 'portrait' of themselves by using words to shape their features. Could be used as an induction task in tutor groups/art/engineering subjects. Needs opportunity for students to research an engineer to create their portraits. (Easily adaptable to other subjects or word choices to create shapes.)

Guide to the questions on this paper and examples of reading questions 1 and 2. Descriptive writing task and frame/planning ideas also given.

Simple lesson to introduce students to creative writing using a 5 point plan/arc structure. Can be used alongside AQA English Language paper preparation. Works well with a clip as stimulus.

Students take on roles to perform their own version of The Jeremy Kyle show influenced by the events in An Inspector Calls. Every family member is included with key information about them, Jeremy Goole is the host, and the other class members make up the audiences who are split into different social groups. The family members are to introduce themselves and explain their link to Eva, the audience members then pose questions to each family member. Jeremy Goole (this could be the teacher) controls proceedings, there is a framework to follow. Have fun deciding ‘who dunnit’…it can get quite exciting! Could be good to be used on an open evening/showcase as well as in class as an alternative to revising key characters.
