A short PowerPoint presentation to be used as a quick starter activity in a Computing or PSHE lesson focusing on Internet security. Students are given some brief information about password security (choosing a secure password) before being asked to rank 5 passwords (most to least secure). A quick resource that may provide a good discussion when the answers students have given are revealed! Enjoy, your feedback is always valued!

A quiz I made for Tutor Time, students have to name the capitals of 12 countries listed. Enjoy!

Please note: Fortnite is obviously not my product, this is for education purposes only, NOT for sale, and no copyright material is used within this resource AT ALL. This editable single slide starter has space for five differentiated questions and is based around a Fortnite™ theme. It’ll make the start of your lesson a little more engaging and should grab the attention of boys in particular, as well as making you look cooler! You MUST follow the question categories in order (below) otherwise they’ll catch you out and it’ll show you know nothing about Fortnite! Categories are based on the rarity of weapons within the game. Common - easiest question Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary - the most difficult question Alternative use: You could put more than one question in each box and direct different groups of students to complete each box. Fortnite itself is PEGI rated for players 12+ - so not a good idea to use this in a Primary setting.

DO NOT buy if you already have my Cambridge National Resource or my OCR Homework Booklet! This is a generic introduction to Break-Even and would nicely follow my lesson on Fixed and Variable Costs (not introduced in this lesson). Two activities relating to Break-Even. Full lesson PowerPoint.

Simple starter or plenary suitable for any subject. Adaptable, so use over and over again - even with the same class. Ideal time for discussion of key terms as they are revealed. Enjoy.

Let's learn about... Social Networks. This is a FULLY resourced double lesson and includes a lesson plan to hand to anyone who has to pop in to observe! The lesson includes a progress path to show ideas at the start and at the end of the lesson, so progress can clearly be identified. Students learn what a Social Network is and then discuss the good and bad things of Social Networking sites. Higher ability students can then move to giving advice/solutions to avoid the bad things from being an issue. A short homework task is also included to complete the circle and ensure you don't need to do any planning at all!! This lesson includes EVERYTHING. Download, print and go. No alterations required. Update - I've also added an electronic version of the good/bad points sorting activity, just in case you're in a computer room or want to do it on the board!

This 10 slide PowerPoint is a range of SIMILAR starter or plenary activities. See the video preview below. Can be used OVER and OVER again, so well worth the dollar. The first slides are grids with ANSWERS. Your students need to give the QUESTIONS. Great for questioning, great for differentiation/selecting specific students to answer. There's a version of the same starter which involves splitting your group into two teams to make the activity even more engaging. The slides are fully interactive to allow you to change the numbers RED or BLUE depending on which team gets a point. To ensure longevity of the resource, and the ability to use it LOADS of times with the SAME group, the starters have also been adapted to give questions for students to answer, just to shake things up a bit. Enjoy!

**SAMPLE AVAILABLE** If you want to see the quality of this resource, the lesson plan is available within my free resources. Perhaps download/view this before making your purchase. This resource includes a FULL lesson - would fill a 'double' session, or more, if needed. The slides are also GREAT for revision if printed or made available electronically to your learners. TWO student handouts are included as well as a full lesson plan. The slides introduce company ownership (both types of limited company) and include a paired task, independent task, case study questions, differentiated glossary (focus on literacy) and plenary. Plenty to keep learners focused and a really good resource for teaching GCSE Business Studies Company ownership. Lessons on sole traders and partnerships are also available in the same theme and to the same quality standard. A bundle for all three is also available, if you like the look of this lesson! Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: I have compiled this guide myself. All of the text is my own and the images are taken from me using the Tarsia software (which is free to download). I have got permission from Hermitech Lab to use the print screens within the guide and confirmed this does not break any licence agreement. They were more than happy to give permission for me to upload my guide to Tarsia and, I quote, "would like to thank you for your efforts, it's very important for us to know that our software is being used and useful." This is a short guide to using Tarsia, the free Teaching and Learning aid to create jigsaw puzzles QUICKLY for use within the classroom. I use Tarsia a lot and even laminate them for use over and over, year in year out! This guide would be perfect to use for in-school training to get more staff to make use of the program, as it can look a little daunting at first. The guide briefly introduces how to make your first Tarsia puzzle and gives hints and tips for the classroom. Any questions, please let me know. Enjoy...

NEW! See a preview below. Part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Mode. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint introduces the mode average then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through working out the mode. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs. After discovering what the mode is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the mode. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself! The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

---This resource is similar to the domino resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Cut out, match up and stick down exercise OR cut out and laminate for a reusable resource. Comes with supporting PPT with answers. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of high street shops or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. PowerPoint also includes articles colour coded to further support teaching of masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

I designed this lesson plan outline for my department years ago. Having seen 6 million lesson planning formats, I decided we needed one that was quick, easy and, most importantly, all on one sheet (one compulsory planning document from my training days was SIX pages long!). Having your plan all on one page actually makes it USEFUL. Everything is included, just change the blue text to be your planning. Try to be as minimal as possible though, you'll follow it if it's quick to reference. This lesson plan includes objectives, outcomes, starter, mains, plenary, homework, lesson pace (timings), differentiation, support staff and links to numeracy/literacy. Any more than that and it's not useful, but the document is editable so feel free to make changes as you wish. This would be perfect for new teachers/trainees. It's also GREAT to hand to a classroom visitor so they get the gist of the lesson - I know this isn't a requirement but, as a frequent observer myself, it's still really nice to see what's gone before/will come after my ten/twenty minutes within the classroom. An A4 sheet can do a lot! Enjoy.

See a video of this resource below! SUCH VALUE FOR MONEY… USE OVER & OVER AGAIN!! This plenary or starter activity gives students thirty seconds to remember ten key terms/words from the lesson or a previous lesson. Students then have forty-five seconds to recall as many of the words as they can - teachers could also insist on correct spellings to add a literacy element to the activity. It comes with sounds, which I hope work. All teachers have to do prior to a lesson is change the key words to be relevant to the subject/lesson they’re teaching. All text/ideas are mine. Images are public domain if not created by me and the backing music is royalty free. Enjoy.

---This resource is similar to the match up resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate the names of animals/pets. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of pets in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

TWO RESOURCES for the price of ONE with PowerPoint visual for whiteboard to reveal answers/lead discussion and DISPLAY/FLASH CARD resource potential! 1) Colour translation dominoes game = Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate different colours. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. 2) Colour translation cut ,match and stick activity = Students need to cut out each of the cards and match the French colour names to the English. Again, this resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of colours in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy.

It's a great idea, at the end of a topic or unit, to get students to create their own quizzes. They can then complete one another's to test their understanding or to revise a topic. I've created a PowerPoint template for students to be given to produce a quiz. The PowerPoint is fully linked because the main purpose of this type of activity is the questions and the answers, not the linking together! This also means this activity lends itself to ANY SUBJECT and a range of year groups. There are ten question spaces, students can easily use 'duplicate slide' to add more questions though. As an extension, whilst other students complete their work, students can improve the look of their quiz or add further elements. This activity comes with a peer assessment sheet - the idea being that students should be given the opportunity to complete one another's quizzes (further recapping and revising a topic) and 'rate' them on various criteria. This sheet is in word format, should teachers wish to add to or amend the criteria. As the sheet is editable, it could be used for other peer assessment evidence - as you're paying for this resource it's worth adapting to get the best value for money!! Overall, a fun activity leading to quite an interactive peer assessment activity. Teachers don't need to be skilled in the IT behind the linking/functions of the quiz - just make it available on a shared drive for students to take a copy of before completing it! Enjoy.
