A presentation that guides KS3 pupils through making a speech for assessment in Talking&Listening; guidance, advice, study, explanation, and examples, as well as markschemes are all included in the presentation.

A collection of five separate study maps for pupils to use either as study aids during reading the text, or as revision resources after studying the text, focussing upon character, and constructed using exam board's past-paper markschemes.
An original study map for 'An Inspector Calls' for pupils to work through as they consider the theme of learning lessons, as it is presented in the play. This resource works well as whole class discussion aftter pupils have annotated the map with quotatioons and responses in pairs, groups, or independently. I created this study map for my GCSE class to use as revision for their final exam after studying the whole text. It also forms a good basis for writing a Speaking and Listening presentation on the play.
Two original study maps for the play 'An Inspector Calls' for pupils to complete as they study each character, Mrs and Mr Birling. Both study maps include completed versions for teachers to use to go through pupils' responses, which works well as whole class discussion. I created these study maps for my GCSE class to use as revision for their final exam after studying the whole play, but colleagues also used them effectively as resources as they taught the text. They also form a good basis for writing a Speaking and Listening presentation on the characters.
