Here is an article linked to the modern world The female is murdered as a result of her husband's jealousy There are some deeper thinking questions to go with it You could explore this article in many ways Links nicely with My Last Duchess

I used these key quotes with students before giving them the poem They had to use them as evidence for what they think might have happened to the Duke's Duchess

4 slips per page The slips have been created with a linked image in the background and turned black and white These look lovely in anthologies, with notes on context recorded on and kept neat This resources covers the first 8 poems (heritage poems) from the AQA Power and Conflict anthology Slips included for the following poems: Ozymandias London My Last Duchess Extract from the Prelude Charge of the Light Brigade Exposure Storm on the Island Bayonet Charge

With this resource, I place key quotes around the classroom. Students then had 10 minutes to find a key quote for each character. Following this, they then zoomed in on a key word and explored connotations.

Perfect to display or perfect to use in the classroom Created for poetry, but could definitely be used for other topics

Each slide has a visual representation of the one of the 15 poems, along with questions that allow students to revise each poem in preparation for their exams.

Each word on every slide has a different coloured/patterned background. There are 100 words in total and they do make an excellent display in the classroom.

I'm currently trialing a poem a day with my KS4 groups. I'm using structured questions and a random poem, just to get them used to dealing with poetry unseen. Here is a poem called 'Baggage', along with questions on a PP slide.

I have designed these activities for learners to revise both Language and Literature topics at the same time. There is 1 task per page.

A quick resource to use. Pin up individual slides all around the classroom, while students take the information and record it on their own 'bauble' sheet. (This is on the last slide.)

Some visual cutouts to make a display based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol. I put this up on a blue background with white at the bottom to represent snow. I then put black borders over it to make it look like a window looking out. Make this even better with gold wrappers from chocolate coins to represent Scrooge's counting house.

A structured activity with a checklist for students to respond to feedback.

This looks best printed on A3. Sheet allows students to revise the text.

Differentiate the amount of money that you give to students. Students can then purchase teacher help. The idea is to create resilient and independent students.

Introduce your students to descriptive writing with this visual aid There are a range of images to be printed out I stuck the images on A3 paper - one image per sheet The students, in groups, then had to have a go at adding adjectives, verbs, similes etc to describe the image ****No book marking involved!!!
