With over seven years of teaching experience, I have learned how to access all levels of learners. As an OFSTED rated "Outstanding" teacher and creator, I hope you find work here that will engage and inspire, challenge and encourage, but most of all, allow you to have fun.

Quarterly Book Check Rubric

Useful tool to cut down on marking. You highlight what they've done well and leave a brief comment below. Print it once, they stick it in the front of their books, and BOOM! Proof of progress. You&'re welcome, OFSTED. Please note: rubric uses informal language.
Drama Scene Planning Sheet

Drama Scene Planning Sheet

I use this sheet at the beginning of scene work to remind students what their scene should look like and what to include. Although I’ve mainly used this resource with Year 6-8 students, I’m sure it could be used for younger and older with some adapting. Feel free to use, adapt, change whatever suits your needs. I hope it helps!

I used this for my lower secondary students to keep track of their spelling progress over the year. I’ve attached an edit version in Word, but see the PDF for the proper layout. Hope this might help you!

IGCSE First Language Review: Paper 2

(2)
Using the Honey Hotel Paper 2 question from the 2016 exam, I have taken apart question one (letter). Using student written examples, students must give grade, give advice, and reconstruct examples to improve the writing and structure. By the end of the activity, students will have a strong understanding of including explicit meaning from the passage, in addition to the overall structure of a letter.
Writing a Monologue (PowerPoint AND Activity)

Writing a Monologue (PowerPoint AND Activity)

(25)
Students will look at the ingredients of a monologue through both comedic and dramatic examples. First, they will watch a character deliver a monologue. Then, they will read a typed out version (formatted to match their task.) Then, they will annotate a monologue using the ingredients from the start of the lesson. Examples, handouts, and links are provided. I hope you enjoy this -- it was a hit with both my KS3 English and Drama students!
