Range of stuff- probably more useful for the teacher in the first instance- on The Taming of the Shrew. Taught as comparative text with The Importance of Being Earnest with a focus on gender.

I used this with Year 7 but could be used/adapted with year 8 or 9 too dependent on ability. \nStudents consider what writing 'from life&' is, then do a short reading activity on the extract from &';Cider with Rosie'. Then they use this an inspiration for their own creative writing - a short talking activity included to prompt discussion and ideas, plus some writing in class and reflection. \n\nWorks well - could be a stand alone or padded out to form a couple of lessons.

Four creative writing activities including prose and poetry - suitable for year 7 and up if dealt with correctly. fun and a bit different - tried and tested in my creative writing groups from year 7 to 13. Perfect for homeschooling.

A set of short extracts on the topic of feminism from a wide variety of sources (e.g. Mary Wollstonecraft, Helene Cixous, Naomi Woolf, Lady Gaga...)Suggestions for use included inside. Creates an interesting discussion/ thinking points before starting the study of a female writer (in this case, it was Sylvia Plath)
