Hi English teachers!! We are all so busy and I am finding TES is a great new place to share resources and cut down on planning.
Here I will post resources for the new GCSE specifications. I teach AQA Eng Lang and Lit - Jekyll, Inspector, Power and Conflict, Xmas Carol. I teach OCR A Level Literature and igcse resit.
I also have lots of KS3 resources and starter activities which can be used for KS2 or KS3. I hope you find something of interest.
