I love my job, and I love making interactive, bright and fun resources. I try to have interesting PowerPoints for every lesson, so the pupils like to pay attention.
Mostly Secondary English - but I sometimes create resources for other subjects too!

WHOLE LESSON - 3 TASKS INCLUDED EXTENDED WRITING (LETTER)
Pupils have to read the article on a boy who has been nominated for the “local hero award” and they have to decide whether they believe he should win. It will challenge the concepts on what a hero is and who deserves a hero award.
Print these cards out, laminate them, and every time someone finishes 5 minutes early they can complete a literacy task. Includes an instruction sheet to stick on the outside of whatever box it is put in.
INCLUDES:
Modal Verbs, homophones, synonyms, fact vs opinion, adjective, collective nouns, concrete nouns, commas, contractions, compound words, singular and plural nouns, slow writing, description, adverbs, punctuation, onomatopoeia, speech marks, book review, tenses, collective nouns, imperative nouns, apostrophes, word jumbles and more!
Pupils create this book review based on their favorite books. They should be encouraged to use iPads or computers to find quotes, etc.
Should last an entire lesson - it certainty did with my ones!
ks2/3 - pupils have to search for the information online and complete their fact file.
I do not own the pictures! All found online and any credit has not been cropped.
Oracy unit - 'Why my hero should win the Pride of Britain Award'
Lesson one:
Pupils should complete the 'My Hero' worksheet. They have to pick a famous person who they think is a hero. They have to complete this research sheet. PowerPoint includes
Lesson two:
Pupils will be learning how to use DAFOREST to write their speech. Includes a youtube video of a persuasive speech (which I do not own any rights to) A sample speech has been written. Pupils will have to find the techniques in the speech, and then write their own. A support sheet with MAT extensions and low-level sentence starters has also been attached. Please note, I do not own the emoji exit ticket as I found it on pinterest - cannot recommend it highly enough though!
Lesson three is not included - but it would be the pupils giving their presentations on why their heroes should win the class award. I would recommend then holding a vote on which speech was the most persuasive and that pupil should win a reward :)
Three key characters (Curley's wife, Crooks, Lennie). Pupils have to pick 7 quotes from the selection provided, and explain what they tell us about these characters.
Pupils have to pick 7 quotes to analyse from the 11 key quotes provided. Pupils have to then decide what this tells us about her. Great revision pack - esp for low level
A complete lesson power point. It includes asking some of the big questions and gets pupils to reflect on the event that has just happened.
Great worksheet and task included about Nicole and how the attack changes her right away in that chapter.
Tried & tested!
Pupils create a timeline from chapters 1 - 10 and recap the events of the books so far. Includes quiz to warm up, and post-it plenary. Tried and tested - pupils produced some lovely work.
Used common words such as said, big, small, looked, went, then etc!
Really pretty effective - I've printed them out with black background and created a gothic corner - looks fab!
Clip art from - http://cliparts.co/tombstone-clip-art
Tried and tested! Here's how it works:
The animated PowerPoint has a slide for each step of this WHOLE LESSON plan!
The class decide between two debate questions (on the powerpoint slide). The class are split into two groups (for and against) and have to complete the 'debate plan sheet' in their groups.
One person is picked to be judge. I picked the person who normally causes disruptions and found giving this pupil a role helped to include them/control behaviour issues. The judge has the 'you have been chosen to be the judge' sheet which explains their rules. The judge also fills out the 'Judge Plan' sheet (so they are working whilst the rest of the class is too).
A truly lovely lesson - the class enjoyed it and so did I. Great to hear opinions being shared by all pupils. Great practice for GCSE writing to argue questions.
Easy, clear, sentence type lesson. Includes a sheet to hand out and stick in books for future reference. KS3,4 & A-Level.
Great for whole class and group work. Mini whiteboards work well with this lesson. Slow writing really helps to engage the learnt skills.
The video is a news clip about a man sentenced to 12 months in prison for drawing graffiti on a moving train. Pupils have to watch the clip and answer the video on whether they agree with the sentence or not. Great conversation starter for the GCSE Oracy
