This resource was inspired by an excellent blog on Twitter by @LauraLolder and a subsequent resource for R&J that was produced by @MissMFrost and shared via @Team_English1 Using @MissMFrost's PPT presentation format, I have produced 13 essay plan starters for use with A Christmas Carol and have uploaded them in Powerpoint format and also SMART Notebook format should you prefer to use this instead. I hope they are of use to you. Matt :)

A simple survey for a teacher of any subject to use with a class they teach, collecting pupil voice data on aspects of the teacher's management of behaviour and safety in their own classroom. Collate the findings, expressed as percentages from the categories "all the time", "most of the time", "sometimes", "hardly ever" and never". The findings can be used as evidence of meeting professional standards for annual staff appraisal purposes. I hope the pupil voice survey proforma and the survey findings template are helpful to you.

New AQA Language practice exam Paper 1A: Reading 20th C fiction texts: 'THE ROAD', by Cormac McCarthy, 2006. In this engaging extract, taken from the middle of the novel, a father and his son – half-starved – discover an underground bunker filled with tinned foods and water. UPDATED: APRIL 2017 - a series of REVISED SMART Notebook slides to accompany the practice exam paper, so that you can teach this extract and Qs 1 to 4 interactively, supplying also a Q3 key terminology matching starter activity, Q2 and Q3 mark schemes, a model response to Q3 where the focus is on structure and using key subject terminology appropriately and a new Q4 slide. I hope this is of some use to you. NOTE: I've uploaded LOADS of practice Paper 1s AND 2s to my 'shop', ALL FREE of charge. Please help yourself - just leave a review. Thank you! Thanks :)
