Hello! I believe in making life easier for teachers, which is why I make my resources available on TES for free, or at a low cost. Most of my resources are full schemes of work, so when you make a purchase you're investing in entire units, not just one-off work sheets. Feedback is welcome! As I evolve in my teaching career, I hope to update my resources as well, so keep checking in. :)

These resources are intended for use with students in lesson. They provide a basic understanding of AO2, AO3 and AO4 grade criteria for 10 mark questions on the Component 2 A (Reading) exam. Students are also provided with examples of how to start sentences within the various levels.
I initially created this to fill a cover lesson, during an absense. It’s a fun activity to do with KS3 students, to get them to warm up to the idea of producing poetry, without the pressure of writing it entirely on their own. It requires old newspapers, scissors, and glue. Details are all contained in the PPT, which acts as a lesson plan.

More lessons and resources for a non-fiction SOW looking at the Olympic games. Please see Part 1 and 2 of same name for rest of SOW. I cannot claim ownership of all the resources, but I did create the PPTs myself, based on other stimulus. Apologies for any spelling/grammar errors - I don't catch them sometimes!
This download contains a series of lessons linked to a reading of an abridged version of Oliver Twist. The outcome of this unit is not a reading assessment, but a writing assessment which encourages children to use vocabulary from the 19th century. As such, the unit starts with a focus on reading non-fiction texts from the 19th century, with a key focus on identifying ‘unfamiliar’ words and using them in writing. The lessons here end about half-way through completing reading of Oliver Twist (as this was not the main outcome of the unit), so if you’re looking for a full SOW on Oliver Twist, they may seem incomplete (we do carry on reading the rest of the text, but mostly for enjoyment/carrying on building our writing skills. I have not included these lessons as they are not linked to an outcome/assessment - I use this scheme of work in the final summer term). This resource is suitable for any KS3 class, and is pitched towards middle-lower ability students.
While the attached unit was created for GCSE, it can be easily used and adapted at KS3 for use in Year 9, under the new curriculum. The unit itself focuses on a revision of the key themes and characters, and would support lessons after a full reading of the text. Skills include analysing language and structure, as well as exploring how characters and themes develop across a text.
I've created three mock Literature Exam style papers for practicing exam skills with my top set year 11 group. Having no past papers to go from thus far, they're just my attempt to give the students a 'realistic' feel for the types of questions they may experience. Feel free to adapt and change.
I can not claim credit for the SOW itself, but the PPTs have all been created by myself to fit into the SOW found here. Videos are obviously not included (Back to the Future 2, The Time Machine, The Sound of Thunder, and an episode of the Simpsons are needed for the unit). Focus of the unit is to introduce students to the genre of sci-fi (specifically time travel). Formal assessment is on how and why Wells desribes the living conditions of the Eloi in The Time Machine (historical context links)
A scheme I created looking at television, focusing on the topics of genre, audience and a little representation. End result is an analysis of the opening sequence of Doctor Who, with a written and practical element.

I've made the following resources to help support Year 10 WJEC English coursework, in which students write a controlled assessment analysing a theme within a Shakespearean play as well as across at least three different poems. I've focused on Macbeth and conflict this year, so thought I'd share some of the lessons I plan to use.

These are the assignment briefs that are meant to be used with resources found under 'BTEC Creative Digital Media: Planning and Pitching'
Someone has noted that the assignment numbers don't match the Unit number within the specification; this is a valid criticism. However, I chose to call the unit 'Unit 3' as it was the third topic I covered with my group; I felt that it would be less confusing for them this way. You can easily change the assignment numbers and Unit information to suit your own purposes.
The rest of the resources for my optional end of year study of poetry. I've also included a few random writing activities, which I don't think will take up a whole lesson.
