PowerPoint I created for a KS3 literacy intervention day. Covers simple, compound and complex sentences in order. Plenty of opportunity for explicit teaching of sentence types using formulas, images and cut and stick opportunities.

Probably the most detailed and comprehensive scheme of work you will ever encounter. I wrote this scheme for KS3/crossover into KS4. It covers the whole novel within the time frame of the autumn term (12 weeks). All 42 lessons use a range of reading strategies in order to decode the text. The scheme also includes a range of non fiction sources to help students understand the context and interpret meaning. Roughly 11 lessons out of the 42 are for creative writing and ask children to put themselves into the shoes of either the author or his characters. All lessons have multiple choices for starters and plenaries, as well as a varied range of approaches to actually studying the text, and all sources are provided.

These are the frameworks that I have put together to replace the use of level descriptors at KS3. The frameworks were made after careful study of the expectations at both KS2 and KS4. I have attempted to blend the two to form this framework for my KS3 pupils. The framework is divided into 3 sections- below expected, on expected and above expected- in the same way as KS2. These sheets can be glued in the front of books and used to aid marking.

I produced these resources to use as part of an 'enable table' during a lesson about poverty for Dickens' A Christmas Carol. There are four information sheets (education, sanitation, workhouses and employment) with accompanying images. I printed and laminated them on 4 different coloured papers and left on the enable table for More Able pupils to use as a way of meeting AO3 for the new Lit GCSE. Would work well when used as an 'investigate'/carousel lesson, or alternatively on classroom displays.

In line with new English GCSE AOs focused on subject terminology, I have created a wall display for classrooms. All key grammatical and linguistic terms are dealt with. Can be printed and laminated to go around room borders, or stuck on one board to form a terminology wall.
