Developed specifically for the new AQA 9-1 GCSE English Literature specification (yet equally suitable for other examination boards), here is a detailed comprehension work book for Chapters 5 and 6 - ‘Incident of the letter’ and ‘The remarkable incident of Dr Lanyon’ of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.
This is basically a mini scheme/unit of work in a booklet and would work brilliantly as either revision for your students, independent study work for cover, tutoring and home schooling, or for students to actively read the text and consolidate their understanding as they read.
Huge range of comprehension questions exploring plot, character, themes, context and writer’s messages and intentions. Questions are in chronological order (in line with events from the text) so very easy to follow and is an ideal teaching tool to ensure students are actively reading and engaging with the text.
Ideal preparation for the AQA English Literature qualification as all the Assessment Objectives are covered. Covers everything they need to know for the chapter really. Due to the challenging nature of the source text, I’d say this is more geared towards middle and higher ability students.

This is a fully resourced lesson about using colons. Available as part of a punctuation and SPaG scheme of work here. Lessons are ideal for KS3 and KS4 students with a fun and light-hearted feel. Could also be taught to higher ability KS2 students.
Would suit a range of abilities as there is lots of scope for stretch and challenge, with ambitious success criteria and extension tasks built in throughout. Scaffolding and differentiation options are built in where appropriate.
Fully resourced and ready to roll, minimal adaptation or tweaking required.
This is obviously a SPaG/Punctuation lesson, but it is equally focused on creative/descriptive writing too. Much of the content is therefore ideal for teaching general creative writing skills or preparing for the fiction writing task on the new specification GCSE English exam.
There’s at least a lesson’s work here; it usually takes a couple of lessons to get through all the content due to the detailed and structured nature of the writing task.

Full lessons preparing students for the writing task on the new AQA Language paper 2 - writing to present a viewpoint. I am already finding that students' writing is often quite 'pedestrian' and lacking in passion and enthusiasm. These lessons try and access the 'inner voice' the writer in order to guide students to a more passionate and enthusiastic method of writing.
The PowerPoint also contains a large bank of exam style 'provocative statements' for you to draw on and use with your students in a number of different ways (creative ideas for how best to use the statements is also included in the PowerPoint). This is ideal for developing persuasive and argumentative skills.
Brief breakdown:
* Students consider topics they care or are passionate about and create mini speeches around this
* Consider what makes a passionate speech and how we can import this into our writing
* Introduce students to DARCFOREST - a system of rhetorical techniques students can apply in their own writing (complete with modelled sentences)
* Students apply these skills in their own writing
* Huge bank of provocative statements as you would find them in the AQA paper 2 exam for students to consider, explore and respond to.
* Detailed learning review at the end
At least 2 lessons worth, range of speaking and listening and active learning contained within the PowerPoint. Also, lesson deals with lots of real life issues so there is a PSHE/ Personal development angle to the lessons too.
All there, ready to roll, enjoy! 35 slides jam packed with content. Feedback welcomed to help further improve all resources.
This is part of a full revision/writing skills scheme for paper 2, which is purchasable as a bundle.

Homophones!
I'm often gobsmacked to find even my year 11 GCSE classes struggle with there/their/they're and through experience, I've learned that it's not that they don't know the correct homophone, they just simply don't revise them enough to have 'sharp skills' in this respect.
These lessons are designed to address this area of weakness we often find in our students. You can do a single round as a starter or you may wish to build a couple of lessons around the whole scheme.
Contents as follows:
Homophone blast 1 - Round 1 'There/they're/their'. Round 2 'Your/you're'
Homphone blast 2 - Round 1 'Were/where/we're'. Round 2 'To/two/too'
Homophone blast 3 - Round 1 - Students circle the correct homophone in the sentence. Round 2 - Same as round 1 but more advanced homophones.
Homophone blast test - A list of homophones whereby students need to create sentences out of the homophone words
Answers PPT - Goes through each blast round by round, providing answers so that the whole thing can be peer-assessed
Ready to roll, no adaptation required. Suitable for all age ranges really. Worksheets are easy to follow and ready to print out. Ideal as standalone/cover lessons too.

Here is the ultimate SPaG/punctuation quiz! Let's face it, teaching SPaG can be dry, this quiz is just one way of making it a little more fun and adding a competitive element to it too.
* Rounds comprise of either 5 or 10 questions
* A single round can be completed as a starter, or the whole quiz can take at least a lesson
* Answers are provided at the end of each round and can be peer assessed
* Students must get all aspects of the question right to gain marks for that particular question (for example, all commas must be in the correct place on a comma question to gain a single mark). However, the test can be made easier by giving a mark for each punctuation mark in the correct place.
* If you wish, you can use this as a baseline assessment and revisit the test again to check progress at the end of a SPaG or writing unit.
Rounds as follows:
Round 1 – Brackets (out of 10)
Round 2 – ? ! or . (out of 10)
Round 3 – Speech marks (out of 5)
Round 4 – Semicolons (out of 5)
Round 5 – Colons (out of 5)
Round 6 – Commas (out of 10)
Round 7 – Mixed 1 (out of 5)
Round 8 – Mixed 2 (out of 5
Round 9 – Mixed 3 (out of 5)
The quiz is reasonably challenging, and is therefore geared more towards KS3 and GCSE English level. However, it could also work with really bright KS2 students. Ideal activity as a standalone lesson or as part of a programme of GCSE revision for the new 9-1 Language spec, which places huge emphasis on this aspect of writing. I guess it would also make an ideal whole school literacy drive resource during tutor time!

This is a multi-discipline CPD designed to raise awareness of the importance of literacy and its impact on the lives and life chances of students.
The session aims to look at literacy in the modern world and to establish its importance in our daily lives. The presentation also includes a wide range of academic research which reveals some shocking statistics about illiteracy and functional illiteracy in the UK.
Importantly, this is an active session, with plenty of activities for delegates to ‘do’ during the course of the CPD. Delegates need to undertake a proof reading activity, along with a range of practical tasks with the aim of embedding literacy into their everyday lesson planning. The content can be squeezed into one hour, but could easily fill a couple of hours.
I’ve had lots of positive feedback from the session, which I’ve delivered to NQTs and Trainees in the past. Equally, I think it would work brilliantly as a whole school CPD with the aim of raising the profile of literacy across the curriculum.

This booklet contains over 24 exam style questions based on all the key extracts from Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’. Exam questions are worded in accordance with the latest GCSE English Literature 9-1 specification.
Whilst I created this resource with AQA in mind, I’m sure this would prove useful for other exam boards too. Extracts are in chronological order, so students also revise plot and the development of themes/ideas as they tackle the questions. Each question is unique, meaning that the study guide covers all the major themes, events and characters in the novella.
Ideal for all teachers as there are (obviously) very fewpast papers for the new specification. I reckon I’ve predicted a few future exam questions here!
Visual aids for each chapter, and for certain extracts, are provided to help remind students of key events. There’s also a page of exam tips to help students produce more effective exam responses, containing content and analysis that examiners are specifically looking for. 40 pages jam packed with content.
This would make the ideal companion to the study guide/student workbook I have produced on this novella (see shop)
Ready to roll, everything a student needs to revise for the exam and boost their confidence in the run up to the exam. Little/no adaptation required and a guaranteed grade saver.

The mother of all GCSE Animal Farm revision resources.! Huge range of (107 to be precise!) activities to fully prepare students for the new specification 9-1 GCSE exam. This is focused on George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
Each slide is a stand-alone activity designed to improve students’ awareness of character, plot, themes, key subject terminology, context, writer’s intentions and those all important quotes!
Many of the activities make ideal starters, and plenaries, whilst some of the more extensive tasks can take a whole lesson. Ideal in the run up to the exam!
I’ve tried to approach the text from lots of different angles to keep it feeling ‘fresh’ for you and your students. I created this with the AQA spec in mind but am sure it’s equally applicable to other exam boards.
