About
I'm Peter, a secondary English teacher in Queensland, Australia, teaching since 2012. Star Class Academy is where I share the browser-based tools I build for my own classes: gamified writing units, essay and speech scaffolds, report planners and a free classroom management hub. Everything runs in a web browser from a single file. No prep, no logins, no student accounts, and it works offline once it's on the device. Most tools switch between UK/Australian and US spelling. The writing units cover narrative, persuasive, literary analysis (PEEL, TEEL, STEEL and RACE) and informative writing for KS3 (Years 7 to 9). The single-lesson tools suit Years 7 to 12. There's also a morning routine display for primary classrooms. Questions or ideas: 2starclassacademy@gmail.com
