These resources are a perfect way to help students, particularly those with SEN needs or low literacy levels, build their understanding of the characters and events of 'An Inspector Calls' Here are 5 mini work packs to help students decide if the Birlings (and Gerald of course) are guilty (or not guilty) for the death of Eva Smith. Each character has their own mini pack which contains: 1) A picture sequencing task 2) A text sequencing task linked to the picture sequencing task 3) A written role play task where the student imagines they are the character being grilled in court. 4) A structured paragraph task 5) An extension 'exam style' question I have also included a printable mat and character cards which are useful to use whilst reading the play. The students can order the characters from least to most moral at various teacher let points in the reading. I have also included a printable writing support sheet to help students complete the structured writing task.

This version of the play is perfect for dyslexic students! No more difficulty reading, retrieving key quotes or struggling to link the words of the play to visual cues. I have created this for my dyslexic students but any students with processing difficulties or ADD would also find this layout useful. The entire text is doubled spaced and laid out in a dyslexia friendly structure. All character names are in bold making it easy to identify a change in speaker. There are visual cues throughout the text to help students make links between the words on the page and what is happening in the play. I have also highlighted key quotes and moments throughout the play which are linked to the separate question booklet that comes with the download. All quotes are highlighted in red with page number prompts. I have already used this with my students and it has increased their confidence in reading aloud and engaging with the complexities of the play. Anyone with access to IPads can open this on the devices to save printing costs!

This is an SEN friendly version of the 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' text. I have begun using this with my students and it is proving hugely successful. Throughout, there are images to help students visualise what is happening in the story. I have also edited the story to keep the key events in the text yet making it a little more condensed for those who find reading the oft difficult language more challenging. The text has also been double spaced to help dyslexic students.

This game is tried and trusted to engage students of all abilities, from high achievers to dyslexic children to individuals who are severely disengaged with learning. The game requires the students to match the 'Pokemon' to their 'abilities' or matching the language devices to their function. At each stage of the mission, the students are required to use a different Pokemon help building their familiarity with the language devices. The learning is consolidated at the end with a bonus challenge. The game can be easily edited and adapted to suit the needs of the students. The cards are best printed out and laminated before using post-its to write the powers on for the matching process!

This exciting game is a whodunnit utilising the popular characters from the Angry Birds games. The 'Angry Words!' are all different word classes. Each of the 8 puzzles will help students to learn how to spot and differentiate between the different word classes. Students begin by matching the Angry Words character to their 'character description' which is really a definition for their word class. For example, Colonel Ective is 'Connective'. The 8 puzzles must be solved to crack the case of the missing egg and will test pupils' ability to recognise 8 different word classes. By completing the puzzles, students will be able to whittle down the potential criminals using the suspect grid. The powerpoint can be differentiated up or down and features the answers. Depending on your students abilities, the game could last one to three lessons. It could also be repeated over time to consolidate learning!

The teacher copy has the answers on it!

If Michael Gove frowned upon reading 'Of Mice and Men', he would definitely frown upon these two games! Keep Steinbeck's text alive with these two easy to modify games. The first game is snappily titled 'The Mice is Right' and is a multiple choice game where students have to guess the correct answers in relation to contextual issues around the book. The second game if 'Mice and Men dating'. The matchmaker game acts as facade for students' testing their ability to remember the characters by their traits and appearance. Unfortunately I can't add it here, but playing the game with 'California Love' adds a whole new element to playing along.
