I am an English Teacher at an SEMH secondary school. My resources cover a wide range of key stages and abilities to cater for the complex needs of my students. Often my resources will be designed to appeal to older students with a lower ability content, but they still work well for younger students also. I have a big interest in Phonics, low ability resources with a high interest level for older students, creating useful displays and making stickers to aid in my marking.

I created this resource for students at my SEMH secondary school who have a varying range of abilities.
This is a perfect resource for an end of half term, or a cover lesson. It is highly engaging and my students always enjoy these tasks.

I have made three levels of challenge from low primary school levels with cloze passages, and sentence starters, up to a more challenging “treasure hunt” aimed at KS3 students working at age appropriate levels. There should be something there for everyone!

A set of twenty four Shakespearean insults with the play citation.
Not seen on the preview, but on the mock up of a display board: they are presented with aged paper as a background and the pack includes a Shakespearean Insults header page.
I have found them to be a really useful way of engaging students with Shakespeare. My students had lots of fun using Shakespeare quotes to insult eachother and me (in a light hearted way of course!)
I would suggest cutting the insults into individual strips for your display.
