MFL - French This was made as an easy visual revision sheet for a student (Year 9) with SEN to help them learn basic French verbs for a test. It was used in conjunction with precision teaching. We also made connections with the words for revision, for example 'mange' sounding a bit like 'munch' and 'habite' sounding like 'habitat'.

Power point slides and reading exercise for French Key Stage 3 activity on Pets, including opinion phrases J'adore etc. Based on contestants in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2016. Please leave a rating and comment if you find this useful!

Literacy Useful for SEN. I print these out and cut up or laminate for students who have trouble recognising capital letter mistakes that they have made in their work. In Literacy, I have cut the strips up and stuck one in every margin of specific exercise books to serve as a reminder. Some students repeatedly put capital letters in the middle of words, for example, and on investigation I found that some of them didn't know what the lower case letter looked like.

Literacy I have used this prompt card to stick in the front of exercise books for lower sets/SEN. You could also laminate the card, punch a hole in it, and tie it with a piece of string into a student's planner so it is visible in every lesson and can be used as a tool to check over the basics in every piece of work. Have you used capital letters correctly? Have you used punctuation correctly? I find the MINTS acronym to be helpful for capital letters.

Literacy I prepared this worksheet to help staff navigate through the Clicker 6 software. I laminated the sheets double sided so that they could also be given to new support staff. Obviously the part about saving a Clicker 6 set will be particular to the school, so feel free to edit that. Hope you find it helpful.

Literacy For a quick lesson or to give some inspiration for writing a longer piece, here are 20 ideas that could spark the imagination. Best used for descriptive writing.

Literacy An idea for a bit of extended writing inspired by the lesson on Apostrophes for Possession. When it was clear other work was being finished up or the point of the lesson had been grasped, I put this on the board as an extension for those who had finished. Use of superheroes and celebrities just to capture their imagination!

Literacy A list of homophones on a worksheet as a prompt for writing sentences with each one.

MFL - German Link learning nationalities in German to football teams. You may want to transfer this activity to a powerpoint and use it as an activity that way.

MFL - German This could be used as a starter. I used it at the start of Year 8 with students with SEN to see what basic things they could remember about the German lessons in Year 7.

Literacy Writing to inform and advice. This lesson was created for a KS3 SEN Literacy group, introducing them to the concepts of information and advice, enabling them to spot the difference and then write their own piece of information and advice writing. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy A lesson I used for an SEN KS3 Literacy class on how to use commas. Feel free to jazz it up.

Literacy The lesson (KS3 SEN) focused on being able to write instructions using imperative verbs or bossy verbs! The starter quiz (uploaded on PDF) is NOT my own but I have uploaded it as that is what I used as a starter. Feel free to jazz it up!

MFL - German A quick worksheet for German beginners to see what they already know and to introduce them to the country and the language.

Literacy This is a nice and easy alphabet game that everyone can take part in. I usually allow them to play in pairs. The aim is to fill in the category columns with an answer for each letter. For example for girls' names you might have Annie, Becky, Charlotte etc. I also use it to reinforce the use of capital letters for names etc. It also introduces an element of competition if you would like to use it that way. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy An on the board starter and a reading comprehension task based on the topic Holidays and Writing to Persuade or Advertise for an SEN KS3 class but could be adapted for others. The lesson before, students research different holidays. Here they learn what a holiday advert looks like before designing their own. Useful for Literacy classes or Entry Level / Step Up to English. Feel free to jazz it up! *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

*If you're here from twitter, I would really appreciate it if you could write a quick review or send me a tweet if you like the resource, thanks.* MFL - Not my original idea but adapted from a literacy resource, this pyramid aims to help students with their independent learning, specifically when writing. Most useful for GCSE or A-Level, however it can be used across all age groups and abilities due to the built in differentiation - the easier phrases are at the top of the pyramid and they get more complex as you go down. I have included a colour key on some phrases to also help with word order. If you have the time and money, the idea is to laminate each side and to fix them together to make the pyramid as shown in the pictures. The different sections are: Opinions Time Phrases and Sequencers Higher Order Phrases Connectives I have uploaded the document and pics of how it should look once made. If you decide to use this resource, please leave a comment or share. Thanks! Danke!

Literacy Film Review Planning - this sheet was used as a framework for students with SEN to make notes on during and after watching a film. Sentence starters are included to help them. Film Review Checklist - the students then typed up their reviews using the framework. They were each given a checklist/task list to tick off as they worked to help them focus on what was important. Also useful for differentiating within a mainstream lesson.
