This bundle includes all 15 of the Relationship Poems from the Edexcel Anthology. This is all you would need to teach these poems and would save you hours in research and preparation. Each resource is prepared to observation standard using the mark scheme and is fully differentiated, including SMSC links, peer assessment and engaging activities that draw on numeracy and literacy. I have bundled these as a part collection to allow a reduction to the overall cost. The bundle price is better than half price, in case you want to try one before you buy the rest whilst ensuring it remains an absolute bargain!
If you would like a bespoke bundle please contact me on Twitter @jomarsh1 and I will put it together for you at the same discount.
This is so much more than a quiz, it asks questions but also answers them in detail, using PEE paragraphs, full explanations and text references. The questions include challenges relating to language, structure and context and conclude with a 'big question' before offering guidance on how to respond to the question (which links to some of the prior questions) and essentially a homework task.
This powerpoint is heavily differentiated using images and bonus questions to support and stretch.
If a student has not 'got' this text, this powerpoint should go a long way to filling gaps. If you find this useful please do leave a review.
If interested in a marking service for the resulting essays please contact me on Twitter @jomarsh1 as this is also available, subject to demand.

This Literacy Programme is 2 of 3 for use with year 9s across an entire term and forms part of a newly written programme that builds on the strengthened demands of the KS2 literacy skills and the Year 7 and Year 8 Programmes also available on TES. This resource includes a PDF version of the programme plus an Adobe version that is editable so that the name of your school/behaviour policy can be incorporated into the documents. The powerpoint presentation is used to test the weekly skills gained by your students and allows you to track progress and build in additional intervention for areas of shortfall post completion. The subsequent booklets for use in this Programme will be posted imminently.
This bundle includes all of my individual resources for Book 2 and includes a wide range of differentiated activities across all chapters in the latter part of this novel. The final powerpoint in the collection includes a range of whole text activities. I have also included the Revision Guide which can be bought separately and have included an attractive discount to ensure that people who have already purchased that feel they are getting good value.
With few revision papers available for use this is another 19th Century Fiction Paper based on the novel 'Lost Hearts' by M R James. the resource includes a mark scheme and indicative content. This extract is a ghostly tale and a good one to use for analysis of tension/setting rather than characterisation. This is a very accessible paper and would be useful practise for both KS3 students doing a 'Supernatural' Unit of work or for KS4 lower ability to build confidence.
This bespoke resource on Blake’s The Tyger is designed for use with the Edexcel IGCSE curriculum but is equally useful in teaching Unseen Poetry skills required across all of the IGCSE and GCSE English specifications. These resources are designed for a low/middle ability group and as such are highly supported and differentiated. Challenge/extension tasks are included here and every step of the process is checked for understanding, reinforced and modelled to ensure all students make maximum progress. Tasks include individual work, paired work, whole group work and peer ‘teaching’ (at a low level, but is designed to encourage students to become independent learners).
My students enjoyed the variety of tasks included here and I could really see progress in terms of being prepared to ‘try’ out plausible answers based on this poem. I hope your students take as much from this resource as mine did!

This activity uses 'Fallen Puzzles' to engage students in a High Order Revision Activity, which is fun and challenging, but due to the nature of the High Order will support longer term retention of these quotations in preparation for the exam. The activity is clearly explained and modelled and key quotations range from short to longer to suit all abilities. If you like this please do leave a review and I will make more for other texts..
