I am an experienced teacher and currently Head of English and Media in a large secondary school. I am also an examiner for EDUQAS English Language GCSE. I have a range of resources available on TES. Some of my resources are quite old, from when I first started out, and I am currently working in my spare time to update my resources. There are a range of resources from displays, schemes of work, revision booklets, mock exam papers and lessons available.

P4C - Philosophy for children - lesson on gender equality

(0)
A fun, interactive P4C lesson discussing the issue of gender equality. Included in the pack is a workbooklet with a Do Now activity to encourage own opinion, two resources (including one more challenging article for top sets/stretch and challenge) and discussion points. This will help students analyse non fiction texts whilst forming their own opinion and justifying it. Great lesson to link to sexism in literature and film, as well as considering the working world and society around them.

Hound of the Baskervilles 'Nando's' style Homework Menu

(0)
To tackle the lack of enthusiasm about homework in my school I created a Nando's style menu of homework. This one is focused on Arthur Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles. There are 25 homework tasks already planned, differentiated by 'spice'. Since using these menus, where the students pick for themselves, the amount and quality of homework has improved.

Analysing and Creating DVD covers

A great worksheet analysing and designing your own DVD cover. Learning the key features and demonstrating understanding of presentational features. Great for both a one of lesson and any groups interested in media. Excellent as a summary task for the end of a class novel. Really easy to engage students. Would recommend for year 8, 9 and 10.
