This is a useful revision aid for A Level English students summarising the theories of Child Language Acquisition. All major theorists are covered including Skinner, Piaget, Vygotsky, Chomsky and Lenenberg and how these theories correspond to the features of a child learning language in data and in general with short, but succinct explanations of each theory of child language acquisition. This would be a suitable handout for students to keep for revision before the exam and also to have alongside them as an aide memoir when completing exam questions.

This is a Powerpoint teaching students how to find the interior and exterior angles of a polygon. It is equally suitable for KS3 and GCSE Foundation Maths students. There is sufficient material in the Powerpoint for at least 1 lesson, possibly 2 depending on how fast your class covers the content. The powerpoint shows pupils how to work out the interior and exterior angles of a polygon, firstly by providing them with key terms to learn, then by allowing them to investigate the link between the sum of the interior angles in a shape and the number of sides it has, before linking that to the exterior angle of a polygon. Other topics covered by this Powerpoint include: properties of shape, angle laws, generalising and substitution.

This resource contains a powerpoint for a full lesson (potentially 2 depending on how fast students progress) for higher-ability KS3 and 4 students on speeches and persuasive writing. It covers famous speeches, features of speeches, how to analyse them (according to purpose, audience and format) and the effectiveness of persuasive speaking/writing. Students are guided to complete a piece of writing of up to 1000 words, which is a persuasive speech on a topic of their choice. This lesson is highly interactive, with multiple activities for students to discuss and collaborate with each other including analysing famous speeches and completing a set of questions on the King’s Speech.

This resource summarises 2 major case studies on Earthquakes covered in the A Level Geography Course: the Kashmir and Kobe Earthquakes.

This would be a useful resource teachers may distribute to pupils for revision purposes and to help with their studies throughout the course. It may also be used as an aid to help pupils with exam questions. 0

This is a set of useful revision notes for A Level Geography students on Climate and the Atmosphere in Physical Geography.

A model answer for a 10 mark question in A Level Geography. The question was ‘Outline a geographical issue indicated and suggest appropriate strategies for its management.’ with the answer choosing to examine the issue of low global fertility rates. It’s useful for students to observe the structure of this model answer, the terminology used in it, examples illustrated and the analysis of the piece. They will then be able to integrate this and enhance their own answers to other 10 mark questions and improve their exam technique.
