This is a particularly useful resource for helping students to understand how writers use specific language for their audiences.

<p>Designed to originally be part of an Enrichment Programme at a school, these 3 lessons contain basic Spanish elements like the difference between ser/estar and some general animal vocabulary.</p> <p>Intended age range is EAL Secondary, but with high level KS2 or high level 4th-5th grade would also be fine.</p> <p>Lesson 3 includes a print out of a crossword and picture activity that can be printed double sided.</p>

<p>This scheme of work is designed to help students understand and create NON-FICTION texts. The scheme of work is designed around travel brochures with the end goal of an assessment in which students create a travel brochure.</p> <p>The lessons include DAFORREST and SOAPSME techniques as well as a breakdown of how to create a front cover and the middle pages of a brochure.</p> <p>The scheme of work did originally include a back cover lesson, but it was far too simple and consisted solely of drawing, which did not add to the linguistic learning.</p> <p>This was replaced with an interactive lesson in which there are sheets about countries like Thailand, Spain, Italy etc printed off and students have to go around the room and fill in their worksheets about each country. This stimulates them to think about the countries that they want to visit and helps with the creation of a non-fiction text!</p>

<p>A series of 21 lessons that cover the basics of the IELTS examination, from speaking, listening, reading and writing.</p> <p>It works better if you have the official IELTS book to go along with the lessons as some of the exercises are directly related, however, the book cannot be shared for obvious copyright reasons.</p>
