All of my resources are things I couldn't find anywhere else. Unfortunately, comprehension tasks that interest the older secondary pupil of lower ability are hard to find - so I make my own.

Comprehension task for 7, 8, 9. Very simple to deliver. Two pages of information. Three questions sheets – with vocabulary/definitions. Teacher’s answers included. I use this for my SPLD classes, I have the pupils read the information and create flash cards on the information. In the next lesson pupils read their flash cards and answer the questions. Great lesson to highlight the importance of revision.
Formal Elements of Art

Formal Elements of Art

(0)
22 page A5 Booklet - colour elements but can be printed in black and white if required. This resource was created for a variety of reasons; to be given as homework, revision for yr. 7/8 and to be given to pupils in a base or on exclusion. ** I feel when pupils are not in main stream lessons the creative curriculum is seen as a treat and not worked on during this time enough – this booklet allows pupils to access the basics without a specialist teacher to hand.** The booklet allows pupils to work through the Formal Elements of Art. Each element is explained and a task is required of each formal element. Annotation and evaluation is required throughout the booklet, with pupils required to answer a question on each formal element. A good way to encourage independent learning in Yr 7/8 of ranging ability.
