I'm currently the head of English and raising standards leader at a secondary school in Birmingham. I'm passionate about my subject and passionate about ensuring that the young people we serve leave education with a high competency in English. Prior to teaching I worked in the radio industry as a presenter for 7 years and so when I became a teacher I enjoyed the opportunity to teach Media studies. You'll find hundreds of English and Media studies resources.

Romeo and Juliet GCSE new specification sample assessment 8 act 2 scene 3

(0)
With very few sample assessment materials provided by the exam boards I have created my own. They have been made to look exactly like the assessments that students will sit n the real 9-1 examinations and are phrased in the same ways too. This paper uses an extract from act 2 scene 3 The student responses can then be marked using the relevant mark scheme for Shakespeare. Assessment requires extract analysis and then question b is based on the play as a whole.

Writing to argue

Writing to argue

(0)
A well planned lesson that results in students writing a formal argument for a broadsheet newspaper. Students will consider a range of statements and determine whether they are for or against and will justify their opinions. Students will have an example argument modelled to them and will unpick the success criteria within the example. Students will then use this as a basis for their own argument.
