These resources were created as part of the new BTEC Creative Digital Media (Jan 2013) course. The resources here are the first half of the mandatory unit on Digital Media Sectors and Audiences. Final assessment takes the form of an external exam, which is new to the course.

Resources created to use with 2013 BTEC Creative Digital Media course. Unit focuses on digital moving image and advertising. Please see Part 2 for remainder of resources.

Resources created for the 2013 Creative Digital Media spec. These resources should be taught in conjunction with Unit 2: Digital Publishing. Assignment briefs are uploaded on separate page.

I created this lesson to help revise for 'attitude' questions for WJEC English Lanuage reading paper.

The second part of resources created for the new (2013) BTEC Creative Digital Media course. Included here are some assignment briefs and feedback forms - these are not formal assessments, as this unit is assessed externally, but they do work well as an introduction to working to a brief.

Some resources that can be used for study of A Christmas Carol. I cannot claim ownership to all resources uploaded!

Some lessons (PPTs) and resources that I use to teach Stone Cold to KS3 groups. Not all of the resources are originally mine, but I did make all of the PPTs. Apologies for any errors you may find -- I don't catch all my mistakes!

Resoureces I've adapted and created as part of an introductory Media Studies unit.

The lessons here are part of an introductory unit to the new Eduqas GCSE English Language course. Most of the lessons are based on material found within the WJEC Eduqas GCSE Book 1 English Language. They are meant to compliment the text and guidance given by Eduqas.

The following are PPTs and worksheets I've created or found to use as part of a unit of study using a Post-1914 play. The play I&'ve used (with great success for two years now) is David Calcutt&';s adaptation of Dracula. The assessed piece of work at my school requires pupils to write their own gothic story, but I've also included another simple task that I found online awhile back (creating a Vampire Hunter guidebook), that may be more suitable for lower ability groups. Feel free to adapt and edit the work here; it&'s a good start, but it is by no means perfect :) Happy teaching!

SOW created using a mish-mash of resources found online. Students build skills in writing using quotes as well as developing their ideas based on those presented in a text. Final assessment asks students to explain how sympathy is built towards a character within an extract.

Resources created to use with 2013 Creative Digital Media spec. Unit is actually split in two, and should be taught alongside Unit 3, Planning and Pitching.

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.

A whole scheme of work of KS3 teaching of a variety of dystopian fiction texts. Some of the larger texts are missing from the resources, for copyright purposes, but are readily available elsewhere. All lessons are aimed at levels 5, 6 and 7 reading skills.

A large resource containing a scheme of work for conflict / war poetry. It has powerpoint lesson presentations and student activities. Includes reading assessment and creative assessment.

Powerpoint Presentations to aid in teaching Macbeth to GCSE students. Complete lessons introducing themes and analysis of the play. Please feel free to use and adapt. Unfortunately I created them using Windows 7, so the powerpoints may not be accessable to all. If you'd like to see them, do send me a message and I can convert and e-mail.

The first 8 lessons for a unit on Private Peaceful. I found the SOW online,adapted it slightly, and created PPTs to accompany the scheme, so I cannot take full credit for each individual lesson. It worked quite well with my top set year 8 group, and they really enjoyed our study of the novel. Final assessment for my group was a Speaking and Listening task, but it could easily be adapted to include a writing assessment, or you could create your own.

I've adapted a Literature Circle task to aid in the study of Never Let Me Go, which I plan to use next year with my top set year 11 group. I've also included the lessons I plan to use to go through the chapters of the novel - reading is done outside of lesson, so you may find that you go through each 'lesson' PPT at a faster rate than one per lesson, so don't be scared off by amount of 'lessons'!

Part 2: The last 7 lessons for a unit on Private Peaceful. Scheme of Work with Powerpoint Presentations for each lesson. Final assessment was a Speaking and Listening task, but it could easily be adapted to include a writing assessment. There is one electronic resource missing here, as I did not scan the second text. You'll need a copy of &'All Quiet on the Western Front&'; - I took a section of the text, in which the narrator describes a gas attack.
