Make your 2019 Christmas Quiz the stuff of legend with this action packed and fully resourced ‘mother of all quizzes’. Returning for 2019 and better than ever, users can look forward to **100% brand new content! **
130 slides of action-packed fun that should fit perfectly into a whole lesson:
Celebrity Picture Round - ‘Who is hiding behind the mistletoe?’
2019 in the News – A multiple choice round based on this year’s top headlines.
‘Ho Ho Ho!’ or ‘No No No!’ - Can your students separate the fascinating facts from the festive fibs in this Christmas themed true or false round?
Rescue Rodney! - Students are tasked with finding Rodney the reindeer hiding away in various crazy locations.
General knowledge – A range of brain teasing questions from the weird to the wonderful!
Observation Round – Students watch a short Christmas classic and then answer a series of questions about what they have seen.
Full instructions, answers and guidelines are provided, the PowerPoint is visually impressive, fully editable and easy to follow. Marking the quiz is a breeze as the team sheets allow for the entire thing to be peer-marked; the interactive scoreboard makes the tracking of scores equally straightforward!
The quiz should take you approximately 1 hour to complete but rounds can be easily dropped if time gets tight. There’s lots of variety in the rounds, making the quiz fun and engaging for your groups. The quiz has been designed with secondary aged students in mind. However, it would work equally well with older Key Stage 2 students, college groups and even big kids such as family and friends!
Suitable for all subjects and curriculum areas as a one-off fun lesson that your students will never forget: all you need to do is provide the prizes!
Unfortunately, the TES preview feature can distort PowerPoint files so I’ve attached preview images so that you see what you’re getting. All resources download properly when purchased.

This is a fully resourced lesson about using colons. Available as part of a punctuation and SPaG scheme of work here. Lessons are ideal for KS3 and KS4 students with a fun and light-hearted feel. Could also be taught to higher ability KS2 students.
Would suit a range of abilities as there is lots of scope for stretch and challenge, with ambitious success criteria and extension tasks built in throughout. Scaffolding and differentiation options are built in where appropriate.
Fully resourced and ready to roll, minimal adaptation or tweaking required.
This is obviously a SPaG/Punctuation lesson, but it is equally focused on creative/descriptive writing too. Much of the content is therefore ideal for teaching general creative writing skills or preparing for the fiction writing task on the new specification GCSE English exam.
There’s at least a lesson’s work here; it usually takes a couple of lessons to get through all the content due to the detailed and structured nature of the writing task.

Developed specifically for the new AQA GCSE English Literature specification (yet equally suitable for other examination boards), here is a detailed comprehension work book for Chapters 7 and 8 - ‘Incident at the window’ and ‘The last night’ of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.
This is basically a mini scheme/unit of work in a booklet and would work brilliantly as either revision for your students, independent study work for cover, tutoring and home schooling, or for students to actively read the text and consolidate their understanding as they read.
Huge range of comprehension questions exploring plot, character, themes, context and writer’s messages and intentions. Questions are in chronological order (in line with events from the text) so very easy to follow and is an ideal teaching tool to ensure students are actively reading and engaging with the text. Ideal preparation for the AQA English Literature qualification as all the Assessment Objectives are covered. Covers everything they need to know for the chapter really. Due to the challenging nature of the source text, I’d say this is more geared towards middle and higher ability students.
Resource is absolutely ready to go!

The ability to effectively proof read, correct and improve work is a key skill at GCSE, especially now there is so much emphasis and so many marks available for SPaG.
These lessons and resources will help you tackle this area of weakness head on, turning your students into conscientious writers with a range of proof reading strategies at their fingertips.
Ideal for AQA English Language Papers 1 and 2 but equally useful for those wishing to embed these skills from Key Stage 3.

Developed specifically for the new 9-1 AQA GCSE English Literature specification (yet equally suitable for other examination boards), here is a detailed comprehension work book for Chapters 3 and 4 - ‘Dr Jekyll was quite at ease’ and ‘The Carew murder case’ of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.

Lesson 4 in this revision/skills building scheme of work around the writing section of the paper 2 examination.
This is a full lesson with a wide range of activities in order to develop and master this important aspect of argumentative and persuasive writing in preparation for the examination.
The lessons have been designed around (and make reference to) the AQA specification. However, I'm sure they are equally applicable to other specifications and exam boards.
Ready to roll, very little adaptation required. Ideal as a skills boost or revision session in the run up to the exams, or can be used as part of the wider scheme (available as a bundle).

Everything you need to teach Act 1 Scene 1 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This is also available as part of a complete bundle whereby a considerable saving can be made; further details can be found here.
The lessons have been created specifically for teaching at GCSE level, and cover the key assessment objectives for AQA: understanding of the text, language and structure, context/themes/author intent (although equally applicable to other exam boards).
Differentiated outcomes and tasks allow you to reach all learners, although I would recommend the lessons specifically for middle to higher ability students. Throughout the scheme, students are encouraged to make notes and annotate the text, as this will be a valuable revision tool when preparing for exams.
Teacher notes are provided to help explain and guide you through all phases of the lesson, with a range of interesting and engaging tasks for you to choose from. Importantly, full analysis is provided for all the tasks set, to enable you to lead interesting and engaging discussions which will deepen the students’ appreciation of the text. Strictly speaking, there is probably a lot more here than you would fit into a 1 hour lesson, so you may wish to spread this over a couple of lessons, or perhaps be a little selective with the tasks you wish to do.
