PowerPoint game revising Functional Skills English knowledge from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2. Includes sound effects from "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" - best played with speakers for dramatic effect! A question is displayed with four possible answers. The correct answer for each is revealed on the next slide. If you can complete the game, you 'pass' FS Level 2. Play with a group. Draw names at ransom to answer the questions and allow 'contestants' to: "Phone a Friend" - ask on specific person in the group for their answer "Ask the Audience" - take a vote from the group on the correct answer "Go 50/50" - tell them one correct and one incorrect answer. Good icebreaker / training tool for assessors new to Functional Skills Revision tool for L1/L2 learners Fun group activity for start/end of course Chris Tarrant not included :)

I use these simple outlines to encourage students to make notes about characters. Quotes go around the outside, facts and key plot points are summarised inside.

Ten Facts about William Golding, author of Lord Of The Flies These help to put the story of The Lord Of The Flies into personal and historical context for students before beginning the novel. At least one of my students has been inspired to go and read more widely as a result of these too, which is an extra bonus! Great for GCSE students, 'The Lord Of The Flies' is an extremely popular set text at present (2016)
