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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The Truman Show
The power points and worksheets build upon the attached pdf SoW (not my work - but i include it for you). The power points work through the trailers and the film with targeted comprehension questions. These were built with a mixed ability Year 9 group in mind.

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.

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.

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.

Creative Writing: Ghost Story
Targeted specifically at Year 7 students who have read 'The Black Harvest' but works well as a starting point for creative writing. I use this at the end of a term when i have time left but have started to run out of material in my current topic.

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).

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.

Creative Writing: Gothic Fiction
Series of power points designed to help students to write their own Gothic Short Story.
![streetno9](https://d2w4qhtqw2dbsq.cloudfront.net/profile_live/1096744/small.jpg)
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.
