Here is the random drama improvisation generator! Who knows which direction your drama lesson will take this time!? 170 varied and exciting improvisation and devising scenarios that your students will love.
The generator is a bank of 170 stimulus items/scenarios which can be selected completely at random simply by clicking on one of the coloured buttons on the menu slide. Don’t like the scenario? Simply click the ‘back’ button and try again!
Students absolutely LOVE the generator, it promotes intrigue, curiosity and most of all creativity in your drama lessons. You may wish to use the generator to create a short scene as a starter, or dedicate a whole lesson to a more developed improvisation piece.
The ability to devise and improvise is an essential bedrock upon which practically all other drama skills are based. Therefore, training your students to respond to a range of random stimulus items is a sure fire way to make them stronger performers and students of drama generally.
This is ideal to use across all key stages and is a useful follow on to the ‘Complete Introduction to Drama’ unit available here
I have also used the generator to prepare students for the GCSE ‘Devising Drama’ unit for OCR.

Buy in confidence from a TES recommneded author. The Christmas Quiz I produced this year went down a storm and was rated 5*, check it out here
Feedback welcomed and appreciated!
This booklet contains over 24 exam style questions based on all the key extracts from Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’. Exam questions are worded in accordance with the latest GCSE English Literature 9-1 specification.
Whilst I created this resource with AQA in mind, I’m sure this would prove useful for other exam boards too. Extracts are in chronological order, so students also revise plot and the development of themes/ideas as they tackle the questions. Each question is unique, meaning that the study guide covers all the major themes, events and characters in the novella.
Ideal for all teachers as there are (obviously) very fewpast papers for the new specification. I reckon I’ve predicted a few future exam questions here!
Visual aids for each chapter, and for certain extracts, are provided to help remind students of key events. There’s also a page of exam tips to help students produce more effective exam responses, containing content and analysis that examiners are specifically looking for. 40 pages jam packed with content.
This would make the ideal companion to the study guide/student workbook I have produced on this novella (see shop)
Ready to roll, everything a student needs to revise for the exam and boost their confidence in the run up to the exam. Little/no adaptation required and a guaranteed grade saver.

The mother of all GCSE Animal Farm revision resources.! Huge range of (107 to be precise!) activities to fully prepare students for the new specification 9-1 GCSE exam. This is focused on George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
Each slide is a stand-alone activity designed to improve students’ awareness of character, plot, themes, key subject terminology, context, writer’s intentions and those all important quotes!
Many of the activities make ideal starters, and plenaries, whilst some of the more extensive tasks can take a whole lesson. Ideal in the run up to the exam!
I’ve tried to approach the text from lots of different angles to keep it feeling ‘fresh’ for you and your students. I created this with the AQA spec in mind but am sure it’s equally applicable to other exam boards.

This is a 28 page, fully loaded revision, study and comprehension resource for George Orwell’s Animal Farm. This has been written with the latest AQA (9-1) English Literature GCSE specification in mind, but I’m sure this would work equally well with other exam boards.
I’ve tried to make this revision guide as active as possible, so there are lots of activities and tasks for students to do as they work through the booklet. There’s a good balance of information and engaging tasks for students to work through.
Contents run as follows:
Visual summary of plot
Storyboard activity for students to then recall the plot and key events from memory
Exploring the significance/symbolism of names in the novel (activity and analysis provided)
Context (students explore key figures from the Russian revolution as well as make connections between events from history and events in the novel)

This is a 27 page, fully loaded revision, study and comprehension resource for Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’.
This has been written with the latest AQA (9-1) English Literature specification in mind, but I’m sure this would work equally well with other exam boards. I’ve tried to make this revision guide as active as possible, so there are lots of activities and tasks for students to do as they work through the booklet. There’s a good balance of information and engaging tasks for students to work through.
This is an ideal companion to the ‘Jekyll and Hyde Exam Questions’ resource I have created (both resources are available together as a discounted bundle, available here
Contents of this guide run as follows:
* Visual summary of plot
* Storyboard task for students to then recall the plot and key events from memory
* Context (students explore key issues raised in the novella such as poverty, attitudes towards women, science vs religion, Darwinism etc by making connections between these issues and events in the novella)
* Key Quotes - Students explore key quotes through analysis of their meaning and significance, quotes are broken down chapter by chapter and provide thematic links etc.
* Themes - Students make connections between themes, characters and events in the novel
* Characterisation - Students have to complete a character profile for all the main characters using the study tasks provided
* Key Terminology - Exploring some key terminology and vocabulary that will deepen their understanding of the novella as well as impress examiners.
* Exam question - an exam question worded and structured in the same way you will expect to find them on the new 9-1 literature paper (lots more of these are provided in the exam question companion booklet)
*Exam Techniques - Hints and tips on how to maximise performance in the exam.
Ideal for all teachers as this is a new set text to be added to the specification. Definitely a grade saving resource that enables students to fully prepare for the exam and to explore the text from lots of different angles.
Ready to roll, everything a student needs to study the text/ revise for the exam and boost their confidence in the run up to the exam. Little/no adaptation required. Suitable for a range of abilities. Enjoy!

A fantastic collection of visually stunning display posters guaranteed to light up your classroom!
Using quotations from Romeo and Juliet, this collection of 20 display posters combines striking images with beautiful fonts to create memorable visual prompts for your students. Ideal in any GCSE English classroom.
In the age of closed book exams, these will not only look great, but help your students revise quotations during each and every lesson. As part of the display bundle, there is also a ‘thinking points’ poster which encourages students to think about the different aspects of the quote in the same way they would need to in the GCSE exam.
I have also included the PPT files, so that you can print using the ‘2 slides per page’ option and print them off for your students to use as revision cue cards!
Most of the key quotations are included here, covering all the key events and key characters from the play.
The PPT preview is problematic on TES, but they download absolutely fine when purchased. I’ve also included the PDF version for added peace of mind. Why not check out the free trial before you buy?
