A lesson for Year 12 on the uses and advantages and disadvantages of the internet using authentic resources. This lesson was graded outstanding recently.

A worksheet (and answer sheet) to show how to use PEE when writing about Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak. These sheets concentrate specifically on the introduction and how to answer the question "Is the introduction to CDF a successful story opening?" I made this sheet in response to the first attempts to answer the question which didn't go to well! Second attempts were much improved!

This is one of the units from my GCSE German/Preparation for AS Level German Grammar booklet. This one is on personal pronouns. It consists of a very clear explanation with diagrams and exercises to complete afterwards to consolidate learning. I also have this available as a Smart Notebook document where the answers can be revealed to the whole class as you go along. I have left it very plain on purpose. Feel free to add your own decoration if you want!

This is the second in a series of lessons which I wrote for a skills (rather than topics) based scheme of work. It covers the alphabet but the main focus is dictionary skills in order to set up the class with the skills to work out things for themselves. These lessons can be used alongside Echo/Echo Express 1. (They would probably also go with any beginners course). The lessons were originally written for set 1/2 year 8 beginners but could be adapted for year 7 mixed ability learners.

This is the first in a series of lessons which I wrote for a skills (rather than topics) based scheme of work. It covers basic greetings and numbers up to 10 but the main focus is on setting up the class with the skills to work out things for themselves. The focus for this lesson is pronunciation. These lessons can be used alongside Echo/Echo Express 1. (They would probably also go with any beginners course). The lessons were originally written for set 1/2 year 8 beginners but could be adapted for year 7 mixed ability learners.

This is the Smart Notebook document to be used alongside my grammar booklet. Both resources can be used on their own or together. The benefit of having the Notebook version is that answers can be revealed to the whole class. This resource covers basic grammar for GCSE Level with simple explanations, exercises and solutions. None topic specific, simple vocabulary is used so that the focus stays on grammar and exercises can be slotted in at any time, regardless of topic being studied. This can also be used in the orientation phase of Year 12 and selected parts are appropriate for good KS3 classes. 20 different grammar points are covered over 72 pages. Please see below. Contents • Personal Pronouns • The Present Tense of Regular Verbs • Irregular Verbs in the Present Tense • Haben and Sein • Separable Verbs • The Perfect Tense with Haben • The Perfect Tense with Sein • The Perfect Tense with Haben and Sein • The Future Tense • Modal Verbs • Word Order (Simple) • Word Order (Complex) • Word Order (Time, Manner, Place ) • Prepositions with the Dative Case • Prepositions with the Accusative Case • Dual Case Prepositions • Plurals • Relative Clauses • Questions • Comparatives and Superlatives

This is a 36 page booklet covering basic grammar for GCSE level. It uses simple, none topic specific vocabulary as the focus is on grammar.
