I am an experienced teacher and currently Head of English and Media in a large secondary school. I am also an examiner for EDUQAS English Language GCSE. I have a range of resources available on TES. Some of my resources are quite old, from when I first started out, and I am currently working in my spare time to update my resources. There are a range of resources from displays, schemes of work, revision booklets, mock exam papers and lessons available.

Eduqas component 2 19th and 21st century non fiction texts mock paper

(1)
I have created a 'mock' component 2 paper using a 19th century advert for Cadbury's cocoa and a recent 21st century article commenting on Nesquik's advertising of it's chocolate milk. I have made this exam practice paper to help students get used to the style of exam, but used an easier text than usual to boost confidence. This is set out in the exact way Eduqas (formerly WJEC) has laid out it's specimen papers and is an incredibly useful tool when teaching students the correct way to answer each question. I have used these in conjunction with my Blood Brothers scheme of work, working with year 9 students in preparation for their GCSE course.

To tackle the lack of enthusiasm about homework in my school I created a Nando's menu of homework tasks. This one targets key stage 3 and assists teaching of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. There are 25 homeworks already planned, differentiated by 'spice'. Since using these menus, where the students pick for themselves, the amount and quality of homework has improved

A bank of 10 Philosophy 4 Children (P4C) lessons based on the theme of crime and punishment

(0)
A bank of 10 complete lesson resources, powerpoints and worksheets to link with any novel that covers the theme of crime and punishment. A wide range of issues are up for discussion including: Greed, Tolerance, Equality, Freedom of Speech and Riots, Greed, Media, Youth Crime... I have also included an end of term lesson where students can utilize the speaking and listening skills they have practiced and discuss which character should be allowed to survive a boat crash. Every lesson has Learning Objectives, Success Criteria, resources and a planned powerpoint so you will not need to do any editing. All lessons have at least one stimulus prepared; either a poem, article, video clip or song.
