Hello, I have been teaching for over 20 years in secondary schools. I was a Head of English for 8 years and an examiner at GCSE, A Level and IB for a total of 10 years. My website has lots of free stuff on it, so please explore. It also has details of my new novel, "Larkfall" which I have just published and am very excited about. I hope that you find my resources useful. My review ratings are pretty high and I hope that I have helped people. All the best, Tallybarnett

This resource is a companion piece to my other resources on Crime extracts as part of the AQA syllabus and follows a similar pattern. It includes 8 brand new crime extracts from 8 different novels. The resource includes clean copies of the extracts for the students, which are available individually and then also in a scanned booklet which includes all 8 of them, which could be printed off, e-mailed or displayed on IWB. Furthermore, Teacher notes on all 8 extracts are also attached in this resource as individual word docs, and these have also been scanned into a teacher booklet which also has annotated copies of the 8 extracts and then teacher notes after each one, ie 25 pages in all, with a front sheet. Overall, then, this offers students a further 8 practice extracts to work on prior to the exam itself.

I have put all my Othello stuff in one place - there may be some slight overlap between them but it still offers lots of value for money. It also has some resources to support other areas of Tragedy like Richard 2nd and Gatsby, and a bit of CRIME support but this is mainly all my Othello resources in one place.

Even More! A Level Unseen Crime Extracts (Part 3)

AQA A Level Crime - Unseen Extracts - 26 documents in total ! Even More Unseen Crime Extracts to Analyse! This is the third in my series of Unseen Crime extracts, to support the Crime paper on the AQA A Level English Literature examination. They follow a similar format to the previous two. There are 10 extracts, covering a range of Crime sub genres: Golden Age/Hard Boiled/Psychological thriller/Historical Crime/Courtroom crime drama etc. Each extract is in word individually for students to work on, plus they are gathered together into a 22 page scanned student booklet. All ten extracts (with teacher notes for each one) are also individually available in Word and are also annotated and collected into a scanned 32 page teacher booklet, which also has a page of teacher notes at the back of each extract to help teach each one and to prompt discussion. I have also added some extra Unseen resources to enhance the package: Ways into Unseen Analysis Posters, a very detailed PowerPoint lesson looking at the Susan Hill Unseen example paper, a presentation on TYPES of Crime fiction, and a PowerPoint with ideas on how to approach the Unseen element. This package should provide some last minute practice before the exams.

"Macbeth" Memory Mat - Free resource to aid GCSE Revision !

This is a new idea of mine to look at key ideas in the play and aim to summarise key quotes etc on a MEMORY MAT, or Revision style mat. If you like this mat, the full resource has 4 others on: Ambition, Deception, Clothing and Nature. This is a free resource to assist teaching of “Macbeth” Please have a look at my shop and my web site - details are at the shop site, plus lots of other free resources. I try to offer big value bundles and large scale resources to cover a complete topic. I have a range of Big Cat Bundles that offer massive price reductions and offer lots of resources in one place. I also have a range of resources to support A Level teaching, particularly relate to TRAGEDY and CRIME. Many of the resources are handmade in order to provide a more personal, original touch. Many are designed for Interactive White Board presentation, or they can be copied into revision booklets etc. Another option is to download onto a school site, like Sharepoint, and allow students to view on their computers etc. If you like what you find, please offer feedback. Thank you and good luck with your teaching.
