Hi everyone, this is a collection of 60 English writing activities for cover lessons. I have also used many of these activities as end of term options when there has been only a few lessons left. The activities range from directing pupils to writing speeches and stories to creating new products. There is a big variety. The resources are available on PowerPoint and as a PDF for easy printing.

This is a full lesson based on two questions from AQA’s English Literature paper 2- one based on Mr Birling and one based on males in the play. There is a quick ‘do now’ activity and two model what/how/why paragraphs based on the questions. This is very useful for revision, that also looks in depth at the park scheme and indicative comment. I’ve used it recently and have told my Year 11s and they responded really well to the lesson.
