Fed up of paying for resources that weren't up to the standard that my students required (or resources that needed endless adapting), I decided to start making my own. All of the resources in this shop have been tried and tested by myself and my department - I don't believe in selling things that I wouldn't use myself! Any feedback you have on any of my resources would be greatly appreciated!

KS3 English Cover Pack

(5)
I was struggling to find a decent pack of cover lessons for English that was full of engaging material that would last a whole lesson, as there is nothing worse than waking up ill and having to set cover work. So I decided to make one. There are 14 activities in total, covering the following topics Unseen Poetry (2 lessons) Shakespeare (2 lessons) English Language Paper 1: Question 5 (2 lessons) English language Paper 2: Question 5 (2 lessons) Class Reader Novel (1 lesson) Text comprehension (English language Q1-3 style) (2 lessons) Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Quiz Subject Terminology Word search & Cross word Each activity is designed to fit on one sheet to make it easy to print straight from PowerPoint. Minimal teacher input is needed in case a non-specialist cover teacher is supplied. The slides could also be printed off and used as homework or extra revision materials. Also included, is the PDF version of the PowerPoint slides. You can find my KS4 cover pack here: https://goo.gl/XKzkZr Please also take a look at my other resources.

English Language Intervention

English Language Intervention

(5)
This comprehensive PowerPoint, when printed (or emailed) as a booklet, can be used as an English Language intervention and also makes an ideal revision aid. It is modelled on the AQA 9-1 GCSE English Language new specification and includes eight sessions covering both paper one and paper two helping pupils to feel more prepared for their exams. With over 140 slides, this booklet has a series of easy to follow activities, exam questions and model answers for each of the ten questions of the GCSE. Each session is designed for students to be able to work through independently, or in small groups. Personally, I have given it as revision to my students, where they work through the booklet in their own time and use what they have learned on the homework tasks - which I then mark and give feedback on and my pupils have enjoyed the challenges and gained confidence in their exam technique. It could be used for isolation and exclusion tasks, extra revision, class work, homework, for intervention groups, or for GCSE re-sit students. The tasks are aimed at enabling pupils to obtain a grade 5 or above. Skills from all six AQA Assessment Objectives of the English Language course are included, along with extracts from the mark scheme and starter tasks centered around improving the AO6 and grammar skills of the students. There are four GCSE practice papers included: Paper One - Dracula Paper One - The Red Room Paper Two - Bank Robberies Paper Two - Prisons Please check out my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

English Language Paper One - Jane Eyre
PateResourcesPateResources

English Language Paper One - Jane Eyre

(1)
This well-presented pack focuses on AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1, Questions 1-5 (8700). There are four one-hour lessons covering each area of the exam paper, helping students feel more prepared for the exam. The lessons were planned to teach the exam skills thoroughly, though they could be used for revision lessons. Each lesson requires minimal preparation and is designed with pupil engagement in mind. With over sixty slides, this PowerPoint has a series of easy to follow activities with clear instructions and a variety of tasks. It focuses on assessment objectives and timings, aiming to give pupils a clear understanding of the exam and what is expected of them. The aim is to provide students with the skills and confidence needed to sit and conquer this exam paper on their own. Included are: independent, pair & group work tasks, opportunities for self and peer assessment, extension tasks, writing frames, homework tasks and, in the event of emergencies, a cover lesson work sheet (though, hopefully it won’t be needed). There is also a model answer for each question to help students engage with the mark scheme. Personally, I have found that, when using this series of papers and PowerPoints, students have grown in both confidence and ability on their way to achieving their target grades, commenting on the challenge that the lessons provide them with. This particular pack focuses on an extract from Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and is provided in the style of the AQA English Language Paper One exam. Additionally, this pack includes a copy of H.G. Wells’ ‘The Time Machine’ with exam questions as a homework task. All resources are fully editable so that you can tailor to suit the needs of your class.

English Language Mark Book
PateResourcesPateResources

English Language Mark Book

(1)
This mark book is based on the new specification AQA GCSE English Language (8700) qualification with grade boundaries from the 2023 exam series. In it, I have broken the qualification down so that there is a column for each question for you to input the marks to. The mark book will then automatically generate a fine grade for each section of the paper and a separate grade for each paper overall. The mark book will then generate an overall total and fine grade for the qualification as a whole (paper one and paper two). In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a fine grade splits each grade (9-1) into three: 5a - The top end of a grade 5, almost working at a grade 6 5b - A secure grade 5 5c - The bottom end of a grade 5, almost slipping the grade 4 boundaries The grade boundaries were calculated based on the August 2023 results from the 2023 GCSE exam series. I have also included a row that works out the class average which is useful for comparing sets within the department, or for working out which question/section needs more work, or just to give the students a reference point for how well they did. This can be used as an individual mark book or for the whole department, simply copy the ‘English Language Mark Book’ tab to replicate the mark book and all of its formulas for each class in the cohort.

English Cover Work Bundle

2 Resources
I know the feeling when you have to rush around in the morning getting yourself sorted, only to find that somebody has called in sick and you need to set some emergency cover work for their classes. Similarly, I can’t tell you the amount of times I have witnessed teachers in my department struggling through the day with various illnesses because “it’s just easier to come in than to set cover work”. As an antidote to this, I made these resources for my department to take away the stress of setting cover. A range of tasks, activities and exam questions are included - all English specific. The KS4 tasks are all exam focused and there are activities to cover every aspect of the Language and Literature exams. The KS3 tasks are all based on building the skills needed to study Language and Literature at GCSE. All you need to do is print out the slide that you want the students to complete - all instructions are on the sheet. Hopefully, this will alleviate the strain of cover for you and your department too! Please check out my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
