Revision session/targeted lesson on the themes of wealth and power, including required worksheets and quote banks all for less than the price of a cup of coffee! Helpful video links are included to support students if needed - the content of the videos does not belong to me. I’ve had lots of success with this lesson series - it’s now rolled out across my whole department as annual ‘must-teach’ revision ahead of the literature exam.

Independent work booklet designed to guide students step by step through Edexcel English Language Paper 1 Reading Section. The focus of the booklet is the journey to Dracula’s castle and the booklet includes model paragraphs, example quotes and exam criteria that can be used my teachers to mark draft answers with an opportunity for a DIRT task on AO2 and AO4. I’ve used this as half term homework, a lesson resource, for private tutoring and as cover work over the years! Due to formatting, the cover and extract are separate documents so all will need to be printed for the full booklet.

An A3 resource based on Section B of the Edexcel GCSE English Language Exam. Students explore a topic, plan a response and then write it up as per the exam. Can be given as a revision resource, cover task, homework task or can alternatively be spread across 3-4 lessons (planning, writing and DIRT). Best to be printed on A3, double sided. The task is based on a local issue about beach rules on our island but can be edited to be made more universal. The dog in the picture is my own!

Independent work booklet designed to guide students step by step through Edexcel English Language Paper 1 Reading Section. The focus of the booklet is the first description of Scrooge from A Christmas Carol and the booklet includes model paragraphs, example quotes and exam criteria that can be used my teachers to mark draft answers with an opportunity for a DIRT task on AO2 and AO4. I’ve used this as half term homework, a lesson resource, for private tutoring and as cover work over the years! Due to formatting, the cover and extract are separate documents so all will need to be printed for the full booklet.

A one off lesson (could be stretched into two or three depending on your group or how you adapt it) based around describing the perfect Easter Egg through the five senses. This is more suited for Key Stage 3 but can be easily adapted. Resources include a core ppt, an adapted version for lower ability classes, example descriptions and planning sheets (within ppt). Recommendations: For Key Stage 4, this could be adapted to suit transactional writing with a greater focus on letter writing. I have also run this as a competition in form time to win an Easter Egg which proved to be very popular!

Independent work booklet designed to guide students step by step through the structure of an essay for Edexcel iGCSE ENglish Literature. The focus of the essay title is age and the booklet includes model paragraphs, example quotes and exam criteria that can be used my teachers to mark essay drafts with an opportunity for a DIRT task at the end. I’ve used this as half term homework, a lesson resource, for private tutoring and as cover work over the years!

Resources for three master classes on AO2, AO3 and AO4 in Edexcel GCSE Language Paper 2. All three Master Classes are included in the PowerPoint and can be used over 1-2 lessons each. I used them for an Easter revision day. Worksheets, mark schemes and examples are all included in the PowerPoint. Articles/texts are separate. Topics are as follows: AO2 - Psychics and the Supernatural AO3 - The Batman reviews (spoilers have been removed!) AO4 - JK Rowling and transphobia

A collection of 20 key quote worksheets from Macbeth that can be used as singular tasks or issued as a booklet. The sheets follow a guided deconstruction based on AO1, AO2 and AO4 of the Edexcel iGCSE Literature exam. For those using other exam boards, this is basically knowledge of the play, language and structure analysis and links to context. I used them in conjunction with the Macbeth Quote Quest Revision Game (printed on A5 cards which were then fastened together as flashcards). They’d also be great plenaries or starters! Note: *This resource is also included in the ‘Macbeth Quote Quest Revision Game’ also in my TES Shop! *

A mock exam paper based on articles about differing views on school closures due to Coronavirus in 2020. Designed as a booklet, so contains both articles (extracts from larger articles found on The Guardian website - links are below), all questions for Section A and B and space for students to write their responses. Can be used as a mock exam, lesson resource, cover or homework task. Note: I do not own or claim to own anything within the articles used in this paper. I simply wrote the exam questions based on them and compiled the booklet. The fee is for that part of the exam paper. I included the extracts on this upload purely so that line numbers can match up to the ones mentioned in the questions! I used to have the original links to the full articles in this description but unfortunately they have now been removed due to new guidelines.

Revision game in which students work their way through key locations from the play to escape Macbeth. In order to progress from one location to the next, students must complete a quote card (these can be ordered in any way you wish, i.e, at random, in terms of difficulty, chronologically, etc). Once all quote cards are complete and the student/s have reached the crown, prizes can be given and cards can be collated into revision notes. I print mine as A5 cards that are then strung together to create flashcards for revision. Alternatively, they can be turned into posters, booklets, folders, etc. Download includes a PowerPoint with the instructions and game board and a separate document with the quote cards. These can also be downloaded separately in my TES shop and used as worksheets if desired!
