These quotes were selected as they are versatile and can be interpreted in many different ways, making it perfect to memorise and adapt in exams. Each Scene is sorted in chronological order, and Acts are colour-coded to help coordination, but this Word Document can be edited in any way to aid accessibility. This revision resource is ideal for students looking to recap “Macbeth” before an exam and refresh their memory, as well as for students reading the text for the first time, to support their understanding of what is a rather confusion and fast-paced plot. Although the text can only be truly understood if read and studying independently, this resource saves a lot of time other students waste on searching for quotes. This saved time can be spent on using these Scene Summaries as a quote bank for essay plans, for example, one revision technique I found particularly useful towards the end of Year 11.

A complete mindmap titled “Jane’s Journey” showing the development of Jane and other characters as she moves location and progresses as a character. The mindmap includes key quotes from all key characters, as well as key phrases or ideas that could be included in essays. Each location in the novel is used as a heading, with the characters acting as subheadings. The GCSE AQA English Literature exam for Jane Eyre requires a holistic knowledge of the text, particularly the evolution of characters and themes throughout the text, so by using physical location as a vehicle to track the changing environment Jane experiences, as well as her own growth, students can demonstrate and appreciate the bildungsroman aspect core to the novel. (If you’d like a physical copy of this map, email me with your form room and I’ll drop it off!) Contents: Title: Jane’s Journey Location: Gateshead Characters: Georgiana Eliza Mrs (Aunt) Reed John Reed Location: Lowood School Characters: Mrs Temples Helen Burns Mr Brocklehurst Miss Scatcherd Location: Moor House Characters: Mary and Diana Rivers St John Rivers Location: Thornfield Hall Characters: Mr Rochester Mrs Fairfax Adele Bertha Location: Ferndean Characters: New Rochester (he’s changed a lot!)

Resource containing table of short words/ abbreviations with translations for students to use to design letter-bead bracelets as a fun french-related activity! Includes a short text about using .e or (e) to indicate an adjective can be made feminine if needed. You could adapt this material into a end-of-term quiz by covering the translations, or use this to make themed holiday cards, painting a given word on the front. I found the bracelet-making concept was very effective and enjoyed particularly by students in lower KS3, to engage with “slang” terminology and words with higher casual frequency to what they typically learn in formal education.

A workbook/ lesson support for KS2/KS3 students explaining the basics of the French Education System, with comprehensive notes and activities including a colouring page, simple translation and opinion phrases and conjugation table, as well as blank space to make individual notes. This workbook can be used in assistance with teaching - using page headlines as prompts to explain and explore le college and lycée from the comfort of your own classroom. Students of all ability, but particularly those new to the French System and familiar with the UK System, can use prompts in the notebook to stimulate their own understanding and curiosity. The pages are decorative throughout with graphics to engage students, with clear text on each page, linking the french and english systems together to make them more understandable.

Slideshow with brief summary of Le Réveillon (New Year’s Eve) to introduce to students, with supporting images. At the end, I have also attached a French tongue-twisters YouTube video, some 1jour1actu games, and a Kahoot, suitable for a fun, end-of-term French lesson for KS2, KS3 or KS4. Le Réveillon is an important cultural French celebration, the day before Christmas (24th December), where gifts are put out, and sometimes even opened, and the day is spent with family, with an evening meal. This slideshow is useful for self-study, teaching others, or perhaps just personal entertainment. The slides are animated so the next line is revealed after each click. The cracker on slide 7 has a big red cross over it to indicate that Christmas Crackers are not common in French culture and cannot easily be bought, unlike the UK, where they are literally everywhere. The information is written in French: it can be verbally translated by the teacher to the students so to expose them to the language despite potential gaps in vocabulary or knowledge, or can be assigned to be translated by the students themselves to develop Festival vocabulary.

Award-winning analytical essay on the French novel L’amant by Marguerite Duras. This essay, written in English with French quotes, aims to discuss the presentation of themes of identity and internal conflict explored in the novel, in sight of the author’s context.
