This resource includes three differentiated poems with leading questions that traverse language, structure and literary devices. This has been created with the Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January) in mind, although it could be used as a supply activity, revision resource, or recap for Unseen Poetry to get students re-engaged with this part of their exams. This is also available as part of a Bundle with an Assembly and a Reading Paper in my shop.

This is a constructed paper based on an extract from one of Primo Levi's Holocaust survivor novels. This is accessible for KS3 and KS4 and has been designed with the Holocaust Memorial Day in mind as an apt activity during that week, although this would prove to be useful practice and revision at any time of the year too. This is available individually or as part of a bundle at a discounted price. Visit my shop for more resources like this.

This resource bundle includes an Assembly based on the Holocaust Memorial Trust theme of ‘the power of words’ and considers both the ethos of the Trust in honouring survivors whilst also focusing on the importance of ‘words’ to ensure discrimination and prejudice are eliminated from our society. This assembly is interactive with a link to a video about the latest recordings of Eva Schloss and offers students some practical ways to get involved with Holocaustian projects post assembly. The assembly is fully scripted and ready to use and is accompanied by a handout about some of the projects mentioned in the assembly for tutors to explore during tutor/PSHE time for potential ongoing individual and whole school involvement.

This assembly considers 21st century problems in a humorous way before considering what Children in Need does, who it helps and challenges students to ‘Do their thing’. 50% of the proceeds from this sale will be donated to the Children in Need Charity, so please ‘Do your thing’.

A current news quiz that asks students to fill the word gap in the headline. All headlines are taken from current news articles and includes World News and the 2017 Election amongst other subjects. My tutor group love these types of quizzes and ticks both tutor time and the SMSC boxes. Enjoy!

This resource is designed for the NEW anthology World and Lives and focuses on the poem Thirteen by Caleb Femi. It is fully differentiated and includes a range of different approaches to poetry analysis including different tasks for different abilities, an examplar paragraph and peer teaching. This is a stand alone lesson and concludes with an exam style question on this text with a brief plan of how students might approach it. Student speak AOs are used to encourage students to link their responses to the mark scheme relevant to this part of the specification. This is fully accessible with plenty of stretch for your most able students. This resource includes ideas about relevant context linked to the textual analysis, and structure and language analysis guidance and tasks. If you find this resource useful do follow me as I am working on further resources specific to this Anthology which will be uploaded shortly.
