Collection of three worksheets on the desert habitats, adaption and man's role in environmental change. One looking at the environments, one looking at adaption of camels and scorpions and another looking at the Human Impact on the environment.

To be taught following the completion of the speaking and listening side of this unit. A selection of resources geared very specifically towards the creation and improvement of a mystery story.

Series of power points designed to help students to write their own Gothic Short Story.

A starter activity to get students involved in different types of fiction. You will need to cut out each of the constituent parts, but this is a great starter activity with the kids working together to match them up.

A complete powerpoint lesson exploring the way in which students can interpret the characterisation evident in Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare.

A selection of resources aimed at EBD children. Dyslexic friendly. These resources challenge and develop students knowledge of Afghanistan and it’s religious laws, Bin Laden and his involvement in 911 and the event of 911 itself. You need copies of The Kite Runner to read or see along with the video of the 911 impact. I had major success with these resources and have included photo’s i have taken myself at ground zero in the worksheets.

A worksheet that has students matching up the names of the 7 wonders of the world to images of them.

I created these resources whilst on a second school placement during my GTP. The aim was to get a year 9 group to write creatively but familiarize them with GCSE marking criteria (Welsh Board). The information surrounding the Titanic was to provide a stimulus for them to write their own story.

My third lesson. This is designed to be a lesson where I as the teacher give less and the students give more of their own ideas - the group is reluctant to communicate. As a result, it is less "idea heavy" and far more task focused - you'll get a lot of markable material out of this.

3 worksheets; one looking at the environments, one looking at two animals from the environment and another looking at the Human Impact on the environment.

Linked to the Roald Dahl 'Boy' SoW. I used these powerpoints and worksheets to differentiate for a very large middle set year 7 group. Reasonable success - the worksheets allows the top end to focus on their own development, leaving me to focus on those who were really struggling.

Collection of three worksheets on the freshwater streams and rivers, adaption and mans' role in environmental change. One looking at the environments, one looking at adaption of otters and frogs and another looking at the human impact on the environment. Information handout on otters and rivers.

So my school got a-hold of some exams for purposes of our year 11s sitting mock exams. This is the lesson I am using to teach the little so-and-sos what went wrong and how to fix it. For this lesson to have relevance, you will needed to have had your students sit the actual exam. Saying that, you could probably get away with photocopying the extract and running it as a walking-talking mock (say that's not a bad idea...). This lesson is simple: it goes through each question in order and identifies some general common errors made in the students' answers, some paraphrased student responses are included as discussion points (just a quick one, when I say that the response comes from an answer that got X amount of marks, I am awarding that mark to a complete answers, not the section I have chosen to show) and finally some specific areas of focus. You have enough for about 4-5 lessons here, depending on how much you focus on the larger questions. Enjoy.

Shows lessons building up to a reading assessment looking at RAF 2,3,4 and 5. These lessons are targeted at a top set Year 8 class with levels ranging from 5 - 7.

A simple starter task getting students to compare cars across history and focusing on the recently redeveloped S-Type Jaguar.

Three quick and easy tasks with supporting images. Ideal for quick and easy filler lesson, or as building into a larger scheme.

Dyslexic friendly resource aimed at EBD children. An initial foray into the problems occurring in Northern Ireland.

Focused on the Shakespearean text vs the Conflict Poetry from the literary heritage. Very structured against the bands and pointed towards the controlled assessment.

I did this as an end of year task with my Year 7's. Essentially it is putting on a puppet show of Pyramus and Thisbe, the idea being that the students tell a modern version but using elements of Shakespearean language. Set up for SLAF 3 but easy enough to alter for SLAF 1 and 2.

A worksheet on a poem, play and piece of prose from the Neo-Classical era. The questions are to check understanding and encourage thoughtful study of the era. I would appreciate feedback.
