<p>Hi,</p> <p>This is a mini topic based around the CREATE skills employability framework to ease old and new students back into the new year. This is also a perfect introduction to help translate the CREATE skills over to new students joining a Studio School in various different formats.</p> <p>I delivered these in my English lessons but can easily be delivered in Citizenship and extended tutorial periods.</p> <p>Lessons:</p> <ol> <li>My Summer (Communication)</li> <li>Australia (Relating To Others)</li> <li>Inventions (Enterprise)</li> <li>So, Tell Me About Yourself (Applying)</li> <li>A Dark Future (Thinking)</li> <li>Pure Evil (Emotional Intelligence)</li> </ol> <p>Let me know how you find it!</p>

<p>Hi,</p> <p>After the crazy and unexpected success of my original RPG package I uploaded for free (I’m kicking myself that I didn’t charge for it after seeing the number of downloads it got!), I’ve decided to produce a second edition of the ruleset, with clearer and more more concise rules.</p> <p>So this is a great tool I use in my class to fully engage and immerse the students in what we are currently covering. This is originally designed for our creative writing topic around fantasy fiction, but can easily be adapted to anything by creating your own character/enemy profiles. This can also be used as an excellent tool for pastoral and extra-curricular activites.</p> <p>Contains:</p> <ul> <li>Rules</li> <li>Character profile sheets</li> <li>Reference sheet for weapons and items</li> <li>A selection of predesigned enemy character profiles</li> <li>Lesson powerpoints to introduce character creation to students, as well as the intro to their first adventure, and a post-adventure lesson to enable student to write about their experience.</li> </ul> <p>Hope you enjoy, and I’d love to hear about how it went!</p>

<p>Personally, I’m a big fan of role-playing games and miniature games so I decided to incorporate some of those elements into a unit of work I’ve done with my low-ability English group around Fantasy Fiction. This will allow students to create their own character and then go on their own adventure as a group working together to complete a quest and defeat stereotypical fantasy enemies. The story and enemies are lead and controlled by the class teacher, and this best works with smaller groups of around 4-6 students.</p> <p>The lessons focus on:</p> <ul> <li>Problem solving skills</li> <li>Addition &amp; subtraction</li> <li>Dice probability</li> <li>Team-working skills</li> <li>Role-playing</li> <li>Setting description and visualization</li> <li>Creative writing</li> </ul> <p>If you are familiar with how Dungeons &amp; Dragons works then this should all be very familiar with you. There is also a free campaigned provided which is already readily available for free elsewhere (ignore the statistics and number in it, I just used it purely for the story element), you are also free to write your own campaign.</p> <p>All you need to get your hands on are some 6 and 20-sided dice. There are also many places on the internet already where you can simulate this dice rolls.</p> <p>Enjoy, we had a right laugh doing this and then were really engaged!</p>

<p>A silly little lesson for my Entry Level English students about the conspiracy theory that Australia is a lie!</p> <p>This lesson focuses on:</p> <ol> <li>Arguing</li> <li>Persuasion</li> <li>“Relating to others” aspect of the CREATE framework</li> </ol> <p>Hope you enjoy, it’s all a bit of fun! Ideal for warming up after the summer holidays or winding down towards the end of a long term.</p>

<p>Made this little “cheat” sheet for the EDEXCEL Entry Level English writing assessments to make my life a little easier when marking.</p> <p>This is adapted from the specification and covers all 3 of the levels as one. Please only use this for practise assessments, and refer back to the specification when marking their final formal assessments.</p> <p>Some feedback would be much appreciated!</p> <p><strong>N.B:</strong> Only tick one box per focus, the number of marks for that column is in brackets.</p>
