I’m a teacher, Head of department and English co-ordinator for whole school. I’ve taught in secondary schools and am currently teaching in a special needs school. I enjoy making resources and know they will greatly benefit lots of other students.

This is the crime drama scheme I use and have had excellent results. These are lesson packets in the style of ‘Teach like a Champion’. They are good to go. Time the tasks for the students and circulate. These are great for a whole bunch of reasons e.g. you can see if the students are looking at the right page, you can see quickly if they have completed the tasks, they can use pencils and correct their answers, if students aren’t in put this in their folder and you’ll see when they are complete easily.
Adapt and change elements if necessary.
Homework tasks for more weeks than you need. Based on the ‘Knowledge Organisers’ I have also posted.
I hope it’s helpful. Happy to give away for free as we are all in this together.
A scheme of work for Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ for GCSE or equivalent level students. These are lesson packets in the style of ‘Teach like a Champion’. Mix up the work with paired, group and individual work. All the stuff you need is on the sheets, just time the students and circulate so you can pick up any misconceptions. Get students to write these in pencil so they can correct mistakes as they go. These can also be used as revision.
These are what I use and I’ve had excellent results. Give yourself and the students a break from powerpoints. Keep up the great work.
Lesson packets to guide students through the class to prepare them for their GCSE. This scheme allows the teacher to work through the lesson and time the tasks for the students, mixing it up with paired work and individual work. These are based on the ideas in the ‘Teach like a Champion’ book and I only use these in my lessons now. They are so incredibly handy. Students can add these sheets to their folders and you can see exactly who has missed a lesson and what students have missed in the lesson. Keep circulating and keep helping. Give your students and yourself a break from powerpoints! You’re awesome and doing a great job.
A lesson to improve sentence constructions. Could be used as a one-off lesson between schemes of work or a filler or a cover lesson. Appropriate for year 7 - 9.
Two lessons on typical grammar mistakes made by students. Could be used in intervention lessons or between units or even cover lessons. Appropriate for year 7 onwards.
A fun lesson on semi-colons, which includes a scientific progress report task. Appropriate for year 7 onwards. Could be used as an intervention or cover lesson.
Fun introductory lessons to Shakespeare and his language to help students through some of the points rarely broken down for them. Suitable for year 6 onwards.
A introductory lesson to Eduqas a-level media course. Also included is two transition projects for year 11s and year 12s to complete before they begin in September.
An introduction to analysing unseen poetry for English literature. Included are the poems for analysis. I don’t claim to own the poems and they are not included for the price.
7 Lesson packets to introduce or recap Media studies main concepts - great for lesson mapping or homework. Suitable for Eduqas Media studies course, however 6 lessons can be used for any media studies course.
Lessons on ‘Music Videos - Roar and Freedom’ for Eduqas GCSE Media studies in lesson packets - similar to worksheets but teacher guidance is needed throughout the lesson and timings must be given for tasks.
You’ll need the Eduqas textbook for some tasks. Mix it up by making some work paired and some group work. Also helpful for students to use for revision if you’ve already been through another scheme of work.
These are what I use and have excellent results.
