Hi! I'm a French and English secondary school teacher in the north east. I love making my own resources, especially ones which will stand the test of time - and I hope you love them, too. I do take requests for resources, so please send me an email if there's anything you'd like to see! You can reach me at: hannahhousam@gmail.com
