This Is a very through and detailed learning pack which gives students a lot of background biographical detail on Hardy and works through a large amount of his poems. Full textual notes. It is ideal for A level or IB students. It is also great for extending GCSE students and is an equally good resource if you’re looking for unseen poems to do with your GCSE students in preparation for the Literature exams, as the Hardy poems have come up a lot at GCSE and are in easy to compare themes such as relationships, war and nature.
Everything you ever wanted to know about this dark strand of Shakespeare's play but were too afraid to ask. It's all here. Lots of supporting images and some historical context to stretch the most able. A good springboard for students to then link some of the information here to key scenes and quotations.
This PowerPoint is a bit different as it allows students of all ability levels to take control of the task. They see different images from the play and are invited to choose the odd one out - interesting discussion starter! They then work through varied tasks on the characters. Good way to share and discuss a mix of ideas at a fast pace.
This works very well as a means of introducing creative writing. You print out as many copies as you need, trim, and ideally laminate. It can be used in conjunction with my 'descriptive and narrative writing' mega pack available in my shop, or as a stand alone. Give the students all 12 slips in a plastic envelope. Tell them to look at each and rank the 'ingredients' on each slip is order of most importance. It's great fun to do as the students start to realise that structure, clear plot and focus are vital. Also good to see them rearrange and reorder their rank order. Lots of follow ups for this - create their top ten 'things to avoid when writing a story', write a story which covers the 12 top elements to include...have fun!
This activity can be done in class or set as homework. It was inspired by 'Skellig' and a good opening idea is to show the students David Almind's opening description of the garage. However, it works fine as an independent task. Students have to imagine they are Michael, the lonely and isolated boy described walking through the family's old garage at the start of the novel. The task develops language range ad descriptive skills. Suitable for junior ages and also as extension work for those taking entrance or end of year exams. Could also work well for AQA GCSE students ending to perfect their descriptive skills.
A really flexible pack. Aimed mainly atcovering the Paper 3 skills for IGCSE Language students, but much of this pack would work with other Language GCSE courses too, such as the AQA syllabus. Simply add in some images to help focus the kids on this aspect of the AQA exam. The theory is the same. I have also used this pack with able year 8 and 9 students seeking extension activities to help improve their writing skills. It also works with children aiming for Common Entrance exams and ensures that they are confident with the two different types of creative compositions. Packed with 'meme-like' cartoons, quotations from famous writers and checklists of terms to keep bored boys and fidgety girls on task!
Funky mat I designed with entertaining cartoons and colourful images of the key marks that children need to now. I am happy for this to be shared on a school licence so that lessons can have the file on the screen. You can print these out, laminate them and give them to the students. You can set them a homework of learning all the marks, or writing their own sentences. I also find this helps a great deal if you have booked the I.T room for the students to do a continuous writing task - if in doubt, they just log on and pull out my learning mat file, then start to work out the punctuation for themselves. Time efficient!
Eh dis is dead good! Ideal resource for supplementing student understanding of 'Blood Brothers' or for any lesson on regional dialect language and accents. Gerrin!
Clear and varied presentation which engages the students and gives them clear facts and points on the playwright's life. The objectives are to give rhe students a historical overview, trigger questions from them, and to test them on on key facts at the end. It establishes a knowledge base for them.The slide with Elizabeth I's Armada portrait is very helpful as there are many images on the pairing that the students can talk about. Ask them: how is the painter of this picture portraying Elizabeth as a powerful queen? Expect lots of varied answers.
The presentation is a good differentiator and triggers great classroom discussions whilst enabling the students to have a better grasp of Shakespeare's own life and contextual background. Ideal for any secondary age. I've used it at KS3, GCSE, IGCSE and A level. Bargain!
Fun and educational handout on accents and dialects plus a glossary of Scouser words and terms followed by an activity asking students to write phrases for Mickey in Scouser and Edward Lyons in Standard English. I created it to reinforce students’ learning of the play ‘Blood Brothers’, but you could use it just as well as a stand alone resource on accents and dialects. For many kids in southern England, this resource was an eye-opener as language is far more standardised down here. Ideal springboard for further research and creative writing in the authentic ‘voice’ for Mickey Johnston. Kids enjoy the exercise a lot and it’s a good springboard for more work on language and class.
This is a clear handout designed to support the essay question : 'More sinned against than sinner.' Is this a fair assessment of Shylock? You might like to also buy the three views of Shylock presentation I made which reinforces this handout.
Full PowerPoint presentation which covers all the main three ways in which Shylock is viewed by academics, with textual examples and supporting analysis for each stance. Lots of detail. Makes ideal characterand play revision.
Ideal resource to help students master the play and understand the need for detailed supporting quotations. The resource has many quoted examples to support different paragraphs of its argument, all reinforced with act and scene references
