GCSE Spoken Language MultiModal Communication Pack
Another experiment with mixed success. Attempted with a particularly apathetic bottom set year 10 group and got some decent Band 3s - I felt they left a lot out on the field so to speak. There is a lot of scope for taking this idea and developing it - if Gove leaves off the specification (unlikely) I will be coming back for a second crack at this. If not, I will modify it for a KS3 scheme in the future. Happy trails.

Murder Mystery: Reading Lessons
Lessons are designed to be read alongside Sherlock Holmes: The Speckled Band. Had some good success with this scheme as a way of getting students to improve their inferential skills.

The American West
A selection of worksheets aimed at EBD children. Dyslexic friendly. These are resources used to teach children about the initial conquest of North America by the English settlers and their impact on the locals. Good starter activities.

Animal Farm KS3 resource pack
I've taught this to top set year 8 and year 9 - had more success with the year 9s to be honest, but I think this would work with year 8s further in to the year. This was a series of lessons taught over the enormous 8 week half term. Hope the resources are useful to you!

Poetry: Cultural Poetry Investigation PART 1
The first part of a poetic investigation using all those old copies of the AQA anthology from yesteryear. The assessment is designed to focuse on RAF2,3,5 and 7. Each poem is split into two lessons; the first focusing on the cultural aspects and the second on the language. ALL of these power points are rendered in pink to allow Dyslexic students to read them without the text glaring. Second part to follow....

Ethics and Relationships
You will need to read the scheme to find out what worksheet correlates to what topic. It is the Ethics and Relationships file marked as a lesson plan. This covers a lot of ground from attitudes towards good and evil, to Baby P and Social Justice. Hopefully someone will find some of these resources useful.

Lord of the Flies: Stage 1 - Reading (L-M)
Here you will find the reading lessons for my Lord of the Flies SoW for the low to mid ability (Learning outcomes measured against Levels 3 - 5).
IMPORTANT: Lessons 6 and 7 use sound-clips which I couldn't upload - you will have to find suitable sound effects yourself.
Please feel free to add feedback and any suggestions.

D6 Dungeons and Dragons: Creative Writing tool kit - let your students' imagination run wild!
I am vexed (greatly vexed) at the generally poor quality of creative writing with students these days - they do tend to have a lot of their thinking done for them. Sadly, it seems to be something that is leeched out of them by a combination of an aggressive curriculum and teenage priorities. So, this is my answer - DUNGEONS and DRAGONS (Or D6 Dungeons and Dragons as I am now calling it).
Simply put, it's a very simplified version of the original Dungeon's and Dragons - you need only a D6 (One dice), pens, paper and this power point to play.
Try it out - I had some huge success with year 8, 9 and 11 classes instead of playing DVDs in the build up to the Christmas Break - it would work just as well for Easter, Summer and stand alone lessons where you have an awkward space to fill.
Use this lesson when you are trying to answer this question - how can I teach kids to be more creative?
There is some initial effort required on your part though - you will have to be the Dungeon Master in the example - but once you've got past this part, I am willing to bet you could leave the room and the kids won't have noticed.
Additionally, I will be creating a series of themed "mission packs" for Christmas, Easter and Summer - you'll have to buy these (they take a while to make), but the start point is yours for free!!!

Lord of the Flies GCSE Prose Essay Activity Pack
The worksheets allow a GCSE Prose essay to be built up. They focus on the Introducation, components of the essay specific to answering the essay question AND the conclusion. There are suggested starter sentences. All resources are Dyslexic friendly (Comic Sans Font).
Suitable for lower ability year 10 classes, or classes with reliance upon the TA's and outside class learning. The resources refer directly to the Lord of the Flies book. I have used the Faber and Faber Educational Edition (ISBN:0571056865).

Gothic Creative Writing KS3 Resource Pack
MASSIVE success with this scheme. Trouble is, what I can’t get on here is the music files I downloaded and threaded into the lessons. If you want to do this, use a site like keepvid.com to download some sinister music - I used the little girls song from ‘The Ring’ and a series of songs from the original QUAKE video game soundtrack (one is literally just a whisper getting louder and louder). I played these sounds over the top of the creative writing assessment and got a decent response (true, one or two of the kids MAY have nightmares…). Best of luck!

IGCSE English Mock Papers
Hopefully this will spare some of you the torture of having to create your own mock exam papers within the IGCSE English format.

KS4 GCSE Prose Of Mice and Men Pack
Contained within this pack is all the resources i used in my GTP year with a bottom set Year 10 GCSE group. I had mixed success bu i felt my teaching got stronger as i went through this unit. A starting point for those wondering where to start perhaps, or another way of looking at a topic thoroughly done.

Antarctica and The Arctic: Environments Worksheets
Three colourful worksheets looking at enviroments, adaption and man's role. One looking at the environments, one looking at the adaption of polar bears and penguims to the environments and another looking at the human impact on the environment.

GCSE Exam Revision Material (2010 onwards)
OK - the power point (Lesson 6) is actually a FOUR hour revision session. The two other worksheets are the articles and worksheets required to complete the lesson. You'd also need mini-white boards, whiteboard pens and post-it notes to run this lesson right off. Hope this will prove useful.

ASDAN Worksheets
These are worksheets i used in an EBD's ASDAN lessons. The worksheets are geared around the 2008/09 ASDAN worksheet but can easily be changed to meet current ASDAN and COPE standards.

Holocaust worksheets
Designed for EBD children. Dyslexic friendly. These resources work well with showing extracts from “The Pianist”. A selection of worksheets that establishes and develops knowledge of the Jews, Hitler and the Holocaust.

Murder Mystery: Drama
Having some great success with this continuation of the reading scheme. Inside, you will find resources to create a detective pack and lessons that will help students create and sustain characters. Really fun group of lessons!

Year 10/11 S&L: Drama Romeo & Juliet
Have had major success with this activity with a low ability Year 11 group. Concept is centered around 'A Tavern in Verona' and deals with events after the finish of the play. Students create and develop their own character. I have had un-confident and uncooperative students sustain their identified roles for 20 minutes with a video camera in their faces. Give it a whirl...

PEE and PETER sheets
I take no credit for the creation of these (probably by now ) universal acronyms. However, with a lot of my classes i find providing them with this sheet a good starting point. Use PEE sheets for lower ability students in KS3 and 4. Use PETER sheets for higher ability students in KS3 and 4.

GCSE Spoken Language Political Speech Pack
OK, taught this for the first time to a bottom set year 9 class and they all got Band 3s and above for this (save one or two) so I'm calling it a success. I claim no credit for the speeches, I&'m just putting them on here for you to use. I found that it was necessary to make the students aware about politics and political terms BEFORE launching into spoken language study. The last resource is a useful revision booklet which I use throughout KS4 as a HW booklet. Hope it is useful for you.
