I have worked as an HLTA and MFL teacher for Secondary. These are mainly resources that I knocked up to suit my needs when I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I hope that they may be of use to you as well.
Subjects I tend to cover are Literacy/English and Modern Languages but the resources are varied.
A lot of the resources are differentiated and suitable for students with EAL or SEN, particularly in Key Stage 3.

French reading and translation activity for pets topic. Based on internet personality Doug the Pug! The animations mean the answers will only come on when you click and then the text underlines in red to provide support and sentence starters for students to produce their own missing pets poster.
If you download, please leave a rating and let me know how your lesson goes!
Power point slides and reading exercise for French Key Stage 3 activity on Pets, including opinion phrases J'adore etc. Based on contestants in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2016.

*If you're here from twitter, I would really appreciate it if you could write a quick review or send me a tweet if you like the resource, thanks.*
MFL - Not my original idea but adapted from a literacy resource, this pyramid aims to help students with their independent learning, specifically when writing. Most useful for GCSE or A-Level, however it can be used across all age groups and abilities due to the built in differentiation - the easier phrases are at the top of the pyramid and they get more complex as you go down. I have included a colour key on some phrases to also help with word order.
If you have the time and money, the idea is to laminate each side and to fix them together to make the pyramid as shown in the pictures.
The different sections are:
Opinions
Time Phrases and Sequencers
Higher Order Phrases
Connectives
I have uploaded the document and pics of how it should look once made.
If you decide to use this resource, please leave a comment or share. Thanks! Danke!
Literacy
Students have to sort the words into the categories of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs using a key and then write their own sentences. Used for KS3 SEN.
Literacy
Students have to correct the sentences by putting in the missing capital letters.
Feel free to jazz it up!

A worksheet created to help my KS3 SEN class understand metaphors. It involves giving the meaning and drawing a literal visual picture, getting harder as it goes along.

Maths
A worksheet created for students with SEN. May be useful for Entry Level Maths.

Literacy
The lesson (KS3 SEN) focused on being able to write instructions using imperative verbs or bossy verbs! The starter quiz (uploaded on PDF) is NOT my own but I have uploaded it as that is what I used as a starter.
Feel free to jazz it up!
Literacy
Writing to inform and advice. This lesson was created for a KS3 SEN Literacy group, introducing them to the concepts of information and advice, enabling them to spot the difference and then write their own piece of information and advice writing.
Feel free to jazz it up!
Literacy
An on the board starter and a reading comprehension task based on the topic Holidays and Writing to Persuade or Advertise for an SEN KS3 class but could be adapted for others. The lesson before, students research different holidays. Here they learn what a holiday advert looks like before designing their own. Useful for Literacy classes or Entry Level / Step Up to English.
Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy
A guideline for students to follow while doing a research task. This can then act as a basis for a further lesson on advertising holidays, or as a speaking and listening task - for example, for Entry Level or Step Up to English. It gives them some structure for learning computer room research skills.
Literacy
I prepared this worksheet to help staff navigate through the Clicker 6 software. I laminated the sheets double sided so that they could also be given to new support staff.
Obviously the part about saving a Clicker 6 set will be particular to the school, so feel free to edit that.
Hope you find it helpful.
Literacy
This is presented on a powerpoint but I printed the sheets out in a size suitable to stick in books instead of asking the weak writers to copy them all out. The students can now refer to this page when given feedback about their spelling.
Their They're Their
Where Were Wear We're
Your You're
Too Two To
Literacy
An A5 worksheet (cut in half) for students to create a visual to remember homophones. I gave each student in the class a different pair of homophones and they had to draw each one and also write a sentence for each one. If you wanted each student to have a complete set you could then photocopy them.
This was successful because it allowed my weak writers to understand the concept without having to do lots of writing. A5 is also easier/neater for their books!
A list of different games and activities to use with a new class or at summer school etc. Or just if you want to get to know your own class a bit better. Some would need a bigger space such as a Drama studio but others can be done in the class room.
You could also adapt this for MFL and just change the games to be in the Target Language.
