This is a macro-enabled, interactive and fully animated powerpoint presentation, using a text from the assessment booklet in my shop on Stonehenge, as a summative assessment tool.
With a number of basic explanations and interactive formative tasks which can be completed independently or in pairs, groups, or as one whole group, this session is planned for 1.5 hours and has some fun elements. It uses images, colours and text, to determine Tone and Mood, some tasks with graphic emojis.
If used with the screen extended to a larger touch display, then macro tasks can be completed as a marketplace task, in pairs or small groups, or with individuals one-by-one.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =-)

This is my first E3 session and so I thought I’d give this one away as a sample.
It is a fully animated, macro-enabled session, with slides that are interactive and can be used with a large touchscreen. Get students to take turns, leading the activities!
It covers both skimming and scanning, alphabetising word lists, identifying explicit ideas and some basic interpretation. Each topic has a couple of formative tasks.
Also includes a 2 page, A4 hand out.
Enjoy!
These can be used as starters, bridges, or as part of formative assessment. They can be pasted into other marco-enabled files and they can be sent to students as a slide show which can be completed, saved and returned for assessment.
The text boxes can be moved in the live slideshow, just use the ‘Duplicate’ function and not the ‘Extend’ and they work really well on a touch screen, as well as with a mouse.
Students enjoy them because they can take responsibility, both On and Offline.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =-)
Add the images to your own docs by copying and pasting them. Challenge groups with larger pages or just use as extension tasks. Answers are on separate slides so it can be delivered easily in a class.
A4 & A3 PDFs are also included.
Distribute On or Offline as a starter or extension task. These words can be very confusing, so the more you know - the better your accuracy will be!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =-)
Title says it all really - distribute On or Offline as a starter or extension task. These words can be very confusing, so the more you know - the better your accuracy will be!

Some are mainly classroom based, with linked and matched hand outs and others are even enhanced with marcos, making it much more interactive.
There are almost a year’s worth of sessions - some which would lat upto 3-4 hours and most are aimed at between 1-1.5 hours.
Many of the newer ones even have session plans with them. Others are so detailed and have such precise step-by-step animations that they barely need one.
It has a 30 page homework book.
A 30 page assessment book with 12 assessments across Reading and Writing, as well as a tracking sheet page.
It has a 30 page revision booklet with delivery powerpoint.

I didn’t want to just upload this to certain files in my pack - when I’ve literally poured my soul into it and it’s worth sharing, just as an example of how someone approaches planning. It also acts as a detailed catalogue of my recent resources.

A Lessons Grid
A Mini Lesson Plans Grid with links to assessments and homeworks + images of Learning Outcome slides.
18 Individual, slide-by-slide session breakdowns, with slide screenshots, suggestions for delivery, approximate timings and links to every session in the pack. This is a document that will save me hours of future planning but it will save you more if you decide to purchase the fully planned pack:
