This resource has been created by myself in an aim to support my students with their home learning of Macbeth - a surreal necessity at the minute! It’s a Microsoft Word document with enough annotations to ensure a good understanding of this Shakespeare text.

I would suggest that this would prove a good resource to use in any of the following situations: Remote learning Accompanying resource for classroom teaching Homework setting Booklet creation for students who have missed Macbeth lessons (i.e. students off school with long-term illness) Please find a link here to the FREE download for the annotations of act one scene two - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/free-macbeth-act-1-scene-2-annotations-12282841

This scheme of work was created after some EDUQAS training I was lucky enough to receive. It is an incredibly useful short scheme of work which sets out to teach a very formulaic response to the main 5 question types used in Language Component 1 - the fiction reading element of the exam. This scheme contains: 8 complete lessons (PowerPoint) Typed fiction extracts - ready to use! Modeled responses and exam answers Attached homeworks Please leave comments and reviews, all are gratefully received. Thank you

This PowerPoint presentation provides the necessary information for years 10-11 to plan and complete their speaking and listening assessment. This PowerPoint is aimed at the EDUQAS spec, but could be very easily amended if the criteria were changed for a different specification. I use this presentation as an introduction to S&L and then let the students complete research on the computer to start creating their presentations. With my classes, I find it is very helpful to print this PowerPoint for them so that they have a reference / guide to help them throughout the planning of their S&L presentation. This PowerPoint includes: - an overview of what the students are expected to present - what the students can use to support them during their presentations - criteria from the EDUQAS mark scheme - FAQs

I created this free resource when re-reading the Dickens novel 'A Christmas Carol' in preparation for teaching it to my year 10s next year. I wanted to take some really key (quite short) quotes from the novel that would be easy for my students to remember and use for revision. This resource could easily be used in lesson by making it into a test / quiz - the students would need to be confident in answering 'who said' the quote and in what context it was said. Equally, this resource is great to provide students with as part of a larger 'A Christmas Carol' pack. If this resource is helpful to you, please leave a review.

This resource is a bookmark designed for use in The Goldfish Boy by Lisa Thompson. I have started created these bookmarks as so many of my (secondary age) students struggle finding books that they enjoy reading. Sometimes, getting them to even pick up a book is tricky! I am aiming to make picking a book easier through the use of these bookmarks. I hope it can be of use to you and your students, Any feedback greatly appreciated.

This is a full PowerPoint (for a 1 hour lesson) which I have used with year 7, 8 and 9 groups. This lesson could also be used as a cross-curricular or whole school resource to help students in other subjects understand the importance of correct grammar and amend their work as necessary. This PowerPoint is colourful, engaging and includes a challenge task which stretched the more able in my group. I have also included a slide on common errors where the students have to spot why the apostrophe usage is incorrect. As a plenary, the PowerPoint also includes a peer assessment task. Please leave reviews, thank you.

This unit of work comprises of 20 lessons with accompanying PowerPoints and resources. I am an examiner for Eduqas Language Paper 1 and have used that knowledge to create this resource.

This resource is tailored for the EDUQAS specification. As a current EDUQAS examiner for Language Component 1, I am skilled in creation of accurate paper questions. This singular Microsoft Word resource includes: an extract from a story (similar in length to those that the examining body EDUQAS use) 5 questions, worth 40 marks, following the same format as EDUQAS use I have used this resource with my class as a walking talking mock which has been brilliantly effective, especially when using the visualiser. It could also be set as a complete Language Component 1 Part A mock examination.

This resource contains 4 images digitally created by me representing four famous authors: Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Roald Dahl and Harper Lee. These look excellent printed on A3 and used as part of classroom displays, library work or even for decorating for open evenings.

A PowerPoint with all necessary resources on the one document, I have used this lesson for revision with my Year 10s and 11s prior to their EDUQAS GCSE examinations. It focuses on Shelley’s ‘Ozymandias’ and includes the following: retrieval starter on 3 other EDUQAS poems a ‘find and fix’ styled activity summarising the poem key contextual information statements matching key themes to be annotated on the poem a final thought / plenary

After studying 6 poems in the EDUQAS Poetry Anthology, I wanted to check the understanding of my group. I decided to make them teach each other about the poems! This resource is a very clear and well structured PowerPoint presentation to explain to the students what they will be expected to complete over a 2-3 lesson period. The students worked in groups, each focused on a different poem, to create a 10 minute presentation and accompanying activity to teach to their peers. I found this to be an excellent revision resource which doesn't really need any differentiating between sets, however I would suggest grouping students according to ability. The students had a really clear understanding of the task, following this presentation, and I was very impressed with the 'lessons' they produced!

I used this resource with my GCSE groups to practise part (a) of the EDUQAS Poetry exam (in component 1 of the Literature paper). This exam-style lesson focuses on improving students' knowledge of, and skills they need to answer, part (a) of the poetry paper. It uses Philip Larkin's 'Afternoons' (from the EDUQAS anthology) as the focus poem. This resource includes: - A engaging and well presented PowerPoint - A 'home-made' exam paper for Philip Larkin's 'Afternoons' (which is based on the SAMS materials in order for my paper to look as 'realistic' to the students as possible) - A reflection sheet for the students to complete after they have finished their exam style answer to part (a) of the exam. Thank you for viewing and I hope your students find it as helpful as mine did!
