This is a fab booklet.
Happy Teaching and Homework Setting!
This is a great project booklet which will span over about 5-6 lessons. It is designed for students to work through the initial tasks to help their knowledge about hotels/holidays so they gain an understanding and knowledge of what they should be designing. It also helps them with web design, as they have to annotate and design their own. Once these pages are complete, your groups of five get designing, planning and speech writing, in order to create a 5-10 minute presentation to the class.
I used this as an opportunity to assessment my students on their speaking and listening skills.
This booklet is packed with activities and even a clip link for the students to see some of the top 10 Hotels in 2016. This is a great buy and can be used repeatedly.
Could be used in class or as a homework project. 15 page booklet.

Here are two great big booklets to use with your classes while teaching travel writing.
The Travel Booklet includes 10 independent tasks - creative and poetry writing, collages, designing and many more.
Mix this together with the 15 page booklet for designing your own hotel in a group of 5...and you have got two time saving dreams. The Hotel Project Booklet is something you could do in the classroom and can span over 6 lessons, or is something your class could do as a group project for homework.
Whatever you choose, these two booklets are full of creative English activities to help your students learn the art of travel writing, working in a team and presenting speeches.
FREE planning sheet as well!
Finally, I have added my Speech Lesson which could be used to introduce the skills of crafting a speech using effective persuasive devices. Now, this is a lesson I usually use with students in Year 9 and 10, however it can be adapted and would be useful to feed into the speech the students are preparing in the Hotel Booklet.

Happy New Year and Happy Teaching!!!
Here is the perfect little bundle to get you started on 'An Inspector Calls' with your GCSE class this New Year.
It contains a lesson on Themes and Context with links and specific Capitalism and Socialism worksheets.
It also has a whole detailed lesson on the question: In what ways is Eva Smith exploited in the play?
This lesson worked a treat for my Year 10s as it got them linking the correct context to the correct characters and quotations in the play. Very useful.
This is up for a bargin for only a short time, so get your hands on this bundle now!!!
Happy New Year and Happy Teaching!
This is a great lesson on the contextual and cultural links to the book Refugee Boy.
It has a great little booklet that goes with the presentation that the students can work on throughout. It also includes selected pieces of information that can be stuck around the class for the students to pick the contexts that links and put it on the outlined hand.
It worked really well with my Y8 class as it got them up and about finding out the relevant information and then moving onto using language techniques from Alem's point of view from the book.
Here we have two great resources which include - Responsibility theme exploration, analysis of key quotations, PEE in-depth structures and model answers. This will sure save you lesson planning time and show your students how to access those higher marks.
Finally, I’ve added one power point on the exploitation of Eva Smith which heavily links to the idea of responsibility. There are quotes linked to this theme in the slides provided.
