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.

A bank of 10 complete lesson resources, powerpoints and worksheets to link with any novel that covers the theme of crime and punishment.

I have also included an end of term lesson where students can utilize the speaking and listening skills they have practiced and discuss which character should be allowed to survive a boat crash.

All lessons have at least one stimulus prepared; either a poem, article, video clip or song.

A great way to get students talking. The entire lesson is planned with resources, Learning Objectives and Success Criteria. Good for encouraging communication, justification of ideas and listening skills. Students really enjoy P4C and it is structured in a way that means all children can achieve.

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.

A complete lesson on Mickey and Edward's relationship in Blood Brothers and how it changes. This is very much formatted to ensure success at GCSE in the Eduqas exam for English Literature. The lesson begins with a Do Now, before practicing skills for the springboard essay where students are given an extract and need to complete an essay using the whole text. This lesson guides students to find key quotes from other parts of the play as well as annotating the extract given. Students are then given a mock exam question to practice. All success criteria, learning objectives and resources needed are within the PowerPoint.
