This 12-page resource analyses the full five-act Romeo and Juliet play within the left-hand column and provides notes on Act I in the right column. It then challenges the student to compile a similar range of notes, by example. The resource contains suggestions on 'How to read Shakespeare' and visuals to act as discussion points where students can gain a deeper understanding of both Shakespeare's writing and the climate of the era in which he wrote. This resource can link very well to the introductory resource and character list, forming a most effective tool for students being introduced to Romeo and Juliet.

Through the teaching of poetry as a subject, I find that students can often become overwhelmed by the thought of deconstructing and analysing. When fully explained, demythologised and likened to song-lyrics, photographs or paintings, soon the fear dissolves and they enter the reading from a fresh perspective. The terms “lyrical photographs” and “word-paintings” stemmed from work with Year 9 students. This four-page resource was developed to provide students with a view, from a writer’s perspective, providing a fantastic starting-point for critical-questioning. The resource also contains a list of 24 forms of poetry and a Task Sheet to allow the student to attempt their own poem, in any format, post-classroom discussion.

The majority of resources by this Author are created to allow for minimum ink-usage and efficient printing, providing the school and teacher with effective solutions that meet budget, time and student needs.

The oldest known fossils – dating back 3.7 billion years to a time when the Earth was still being bombarded by asteroids – have been found in Greenland, scientists announced in a discovery that could have “staggering” implications. Rocks recently exposed after a once-permanent layer of snow melted were found to contain stromatolites, sediments the researchers said had been created by the growth of layer upon layer of micro-organisms. If confirmed as evidence of life, they are about 220 million years older than the previous record holder and the researchers said the “sophistication” of the microbes pointed to life on Earth beginning more than four billion years ago.
