This engaging and visually appealing revision aid includes contextual information, tasks, key quotations that link to the context and an engaging game to help reinforce students understanding of the background to Shakespeare's play. I have designed this to offer variety to revision sessions and to offer students an enjoyable way of refreshing their memories. This would be perfect for parents, students and supply teachers alike and would take at least one lesson to complete.

This resource explores the third Part of this curious novel investigating literary devices, close textual reading, character studies, intertextuality, an excellent SMSC task inference, comprehension and a concluding activity involving creating a cartoon storyboard to support students engagement with the structure of this section of the novel., This powerpoint offers inks to International Mark Schemes (if required). This book is unusual and engaging, as such it would make an excellent Reading Group study, Extra Curricular Reading Study, Stretch and Challenge, independent novel study, exemplar of ‘how to’ teach a novel for an NQT and a great resource to use for KS3 tutoring or teaching alike.

These newly constructed questions are designed to reflect the higher challenge of the new 9-1 specification. These can be used as homework tasks, tutoring activities, discussion groups, oral essays or written exam practice.

This resource offers an engaging route through this final part of the novel. It teaches the application of Freytag’s narrative arc, how to analyse characters and themes, literary devices and hot seating to name but a few of the teaching approaches. This resource has been designed using a New Zealand mark scheme which is easily edited out to include your own. This resource includes two assessment tasks that are supported in different measures. Lessons and tasks are differentiated and challenge is suitably tough.

This resource includes 4 varied tasks to appeal to a full range and ability of learners on the topic of word classes and nouns. The resource concludes with a self assessment of how secure the learner’s knowledge is based on a final task. A separate resource is included for all teachers/supply/parents to use to help guide their students in the right direction with regard to answers and to offer a definitive right/wrong once complete. This is a perfect activity for completion during tutor time or at the beginning/end/challenge task for downtime as it can be picked up and put away. This is the first of a series of literacy resources like this that I will be rolling out over the next few weeks, so if you like this, do follow me here or on Twitter @jomarsh1.

This response is designed for use with the Cambridge International iGCSE (UK and US) and is equally suitable to use with a Key stage 3 or 4 group to build on their reading skills, analytical skills and response writing skills. This resource includes the PDF of the short story and offers a complete route through this narrative set in 1960s South Africa, as such this would be an ideal text to draw on for Black History Month (October) too. This lesson uses a range of active learning methods to teach reading skills and in turn the enjoyable nature of the lesson helps secure learning into student’s long term memory banks.

This resource covers all of the poems and includes a wide range of questions to help refresh and round off learning, it has been designed to increase engagement with language, structure, form and the context of these poems. My own groups have found this resource immensely helpful in the final preparations for the exam this week. This is a perfect resource for very last minute revision, that odd lesson in which you’re not sure where the gaps might be, lunchtime catch ups, after school support, tutors, teachers, supply or parents wanting to help their students/children respectively.

This resource offers a creative lesson for students studying English Language on papers that require students to ‘find’ information. This lesson is centred around earning Exit Passes (lolly sticks) and a Blind Style learning Activity to ensure that the most able are able to construct mark schemes and all students work in a supported environment. This lesson offers an imaginative route into a question that can otherwise be a little dry: it also works towards ALL students achieving full marks on this question and offers a range of 10 texts on which to practise this skill, including answers to all questions.

This resource is designed to support pinpointed revision. When students struggle to answer one type of question, the best way to improve grades is to offer them multiple questions of the same type to aid progression. This resource offers exactly that: the first four questions are differentiated in numerous different ways, exemplar responses, clozed activities, top tips to guide responses without giving it all to the student and open questioning, whilst the remaining six questions are straightforward tasks. This resource works as well for homework tasks, as it does for starter activities or those times when some are absent (in exams) and others need some consolidation of skills. This resource works hand in hand with the resource for Question 1 too (link below), the remaining question types will be posted up soon. Happy revision! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-9-1-english-language-revision-find-questions-12046526

This resource is the first in a collection of fun literacy activities for KS2 and lower ability KS3 students based on homophones. The printable slides are best llaminated in A5 and could be used as part of your marking feedback: ‘please complete card 1.2 on homophones as a starter activity next lesson’: in this way these are designed to address specific errors for specific students, individualising learning and offering an immediate start to literacy lessons. This set comprises the 20 most commonly misspelt homophones and comes with a ‘Buy One Get One Free’ offer outlined on the resource. It also includes a teaching list of the options in this collection, for ease of setting the next task for your students. I am hugely excited about this project that offers opportunities for colourful displays, longevity, engaging activiites and most of all, literacy becoming part of an improving habit. As the inaugaural resource this comes with a special offer to be able to contribute to the choice of future resources and give hoenst feedback. The price on this resource is an INTRODUCTORY PRICE that will increase, so make your classroom part of both a metaphorical and literacy based journey. Jump on board the Literacy Bus!!

This resource offers a thorough exploration of this IGCSE poem by Peter Reading. The activities are highly varied and inclusive, whilst also offering plenty of challenge for the more able students. This lesson includes literacy tasks, arty tasks, independent and group tasks plus a clear guide as to how to achieve the range of grades prior to closing with an exemplar assessment task. This lesson, whilst prepared with the Cambridge International specifications (English Literature and World Literature 2022 onwards) in mind, would make a perfectly engaging lesson for KS3 students just setting out on their GCSE style poetry as it includes clear terminology, explained and applied and exemplar sentence starters as a guide as to how to ‘start an analytical response’. Please do visit my shop for more IGCSE resources on this and a range of other specifications, if you are looking for something specific message me on Twitter @jomarsh1 and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
