I am a secondary school English teacher, spending my 6th year teaching at an IB school in Japan. This makes me confident that I know how to support all students in mainstream education; all resources look to stretch, challenge and support students, by using various activities and question styles with definitions and images. Thank you for visiting my page, and ANY feedback is welcome!

The Merchant of Venice Unit KS4

(0)
This is a bundle that will support the teaching of ‘The Merchant of Venice’. Every lesson included differentiate tasks, key quotations, and Standard English translations so that every student can access the material. Though aimed to support KS3 iGCSE students, the material could be modified to support younger or older years. The bundle will include: Pre-reading task Resources Revision lessons (writing an introduction, writing a response, themes and symbolism) Lesson from Act 1 to Act 5 Model responses Due to the lack of supportive material for teaching one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, I made sure that these lessons would comprehensively support challenge and inspire your students.
Identity and Culture Poetry Unit KS3

Identity and Culture Poetry Unit KS3

(0)
This unit focuses on the themes of identity and culture in poetry, taking poems from the old AQA anthology that are still used today in some GCSE and iGCSE poetry anthologies. This anthology is included in the bundle. To combat the fear or dull-approach to poetry, I have incorporated a multi-modal approach that uses music, group work, games and other creative means to encourage students to see poetry in a different light. All my lessons are differentiated with appropriate stretch and challenges, with definitions and writing prompts to support their learning. The unit comprises of 13 one hours lessons, though I have found that these lessons can be drawn out or shortened to suit the preferred time frame. The poems include: Haikus Search for my Tongue Half Caste Storm of the Island Limbo The unit is angeled towards KS3 Secondary students as it gives them a refresher on language techniques and structural devices. I hope that you enjoy my lessons :)
KS3 Spelling Test

KS3 Spelling Test

(0)
This KS3 spelling test is all you need. A student will have 15 spellings to learn per fortnight, with a specific focus attached to it. For example, some of the weeks cover: Homophones Silent ‘u’ sounds Confused words Unstressed vowels Music (and other subjects) In a digital age, students typically have more desire to pick up a phone than a book or pen. It is therefore crucial for teachers to promote the literacy of students so that they can communicate effectively in the wider world.

Identity and Culture Poetry Unit KS3 - MEGA Bundle

I’ve put together a fun and engaging 8-week identity poetry unit. We’ve been diving into the cool twists and turns of language, learning how to structure our thoughts and feelings into poetic form. Throughout the journey, I’ve made sure to give students a mix of challenges and support, so everyone can find their groove. From dissecting the magic of poetic tools to writing our own verses about who we are, every activity is designed to make poetry come alive in exciting ways. We’re not just reading poems; we’re living them! I made this for ages 11-14 at my current international school. However, my students are exceptionally bright so I do not doubt that this unit can help support older years with a few tweaks. Lessons include: Lesson 1: Poetic Devices Lesson 2: An Introduction to MITSL Lesson 3: An introduction to MITSL Lesson 4: An introduction to MITSL Lesson 5: An introduction to MITSL Lesson 6: Introduction to imagery Lesson 7: Imagery Lesson 8: Symbolism Lesson 9: Lexical Fields Lesson 10: Extended Metaphor Lesson 11: Juxtaposition Lesson 12: Rhyme and Half Rhyme Lesson 13: Form Lesson 14: Form 2 Lesson 15: Enjambment and Repetition Lesson 16: Emotive Language Lesson 17: Perspectives Lesson 18: Tone Lesson 19: Phonology Lesson 20: Narrative Lesson 21: Pigeons Lesson 22: Pigeons Lesson 23: Sally Lesson 24: Sally Lesson 25: Jeoparty Lesson 26: Review Lesson 27: Rewite Lesson 28: What is a zine Lesson 29: Zine Fair Lesson 30: Unit Reflection Lesson 31: Summative Feedback Lesson 32: Summative Feedback Extra resources include: Vocabulary bank Unit reflection I hope that you enjoy this resource :)
