A quiz of 20 slides that asks learners to decide which century each British author is from.
This quiz is ideal for GCSE English Language/Literature and will promote the reading of a wider range of books.
Each slide includes a picture from all three centuries on a particular topic such as food, transport etc to increase knowledge of historical context. They also include animation features so the answers are revealed per slide, not at the end of the quiz.
Each slide can become a discussion point to allow learners to imagine what life would be like in each century and other tasks can be created from these discussions.
This resource aims to engage learners who have difficulty in spelling or a barrier to learning during English lessons due to spelling.
The Power Point is 15 slides and includes a starter and exit task.
This resource looks briefly at the history of the English language in simplistic terms to give learners an understanding of why spelling is difficult today.
Dictionaries will be required and the learners are also asked to work as part of a group. At least one computer needs to be available to access search engines as part of the lesson.
All answers are provided unless the task is discussion based.
A whole lesson on writing essays using PEA including a starter activity and research using the internet. 21 slides.

Learners are encouraged to write extensive paragraphs. The learners are guided through the process of writing an essay.
This lesson is ideal for GCSE English Language and learners who are just starting to write essays.
A PowerPoint with accompanying worksheet on book genres. Students are asked to complete a variety of activities including the final written task.
