please leave a review! Slow writing activity which can be generalised! Love using slow writing in my lessons! Found this to be super effective.

Free & fantastic. LOVE using slow writing in lessons! Creative slow writing task to get pupils to slow down and think about each sentence!

Pupils have to pretend one of them is a child, and one is parent. The child has to persuade their parents to let them to go to a party. Its tests persuasive techniques, whilst being a fun and interesting starter.

Tried and tested! Here's how it works: The animated PowerPoint has a slide for each step of this WHOLE LESSON plan! The class decide between two debate questions (on the powerpoint slide). The class are split into two groups (for and against) and have to complete the 'debate plan sheet' in their groups. One person is picked to be judge. I picked the person who normally causes disruptions and found giving this pupil a role helped to include them/control behaviour issues. The judge has the 'you have been chosen to be the judge' sheet which explains their rules. The judge also fills out the 'Judge Plan' sheet (so they are working whilst the rest of the class is too). A truly lovely lesson - the class enjoyed it and so did I. Great to hear opinions being shared by all pupils. Great practice for GCSE writing to argue questions.

Used common words such as said, big, small, looked, went, then etc! Really pretty effective - I've printed them out with black background and created a gothic corner - looks fab! Clip art from - http://cliparts.co/tombstone-clip-art

Includes answers, worksheet and two 'bonus point' questions for your MAT pupils! I obviously do not own any rights to the book !!

Pupils create a timeline from chapters 1 - 10 and recap the events of the books so far. Includes quiz to warm up, and post-it plenary. Tried and tested - pupils produced some lovely work.

A complete lesson power point. It includes asking some of the big questions and gets pupils to reflect on the event that has just happened. Great worksheet and task included about Nicole and how the attack changes her right away in that chapter. Tried & tested!

Pupils have to select 7 quotes out of the 10 provided, and explain what they tell us about Lennie. Great revision/refresher task!

A worksheet which can be used for cover, or as part of a lesson. I do not own the pictures in this document, and have left the credit on.

Pupils create this book review based on their favorite books. They should be encouraged to use iPads or computers to find quotes, etc. Should last an entire lesson - it certainty did with my ones!

Look at my other slow writing worksheets too! I LOVE slow writing, I think it makes the work so much better. I use it often, and the kids love it.

Oracy unit - 'Why my hero should win the Pride of Britain Award' Lesson one: Pupils should complete the 'My Hero' worksheet. They have to pick a famous person who they think is a hero. They have to complete this research sheet. PowerPoint includes Lesson two: Pupils will be learning how to use DAFOREST to write their speech. Includes a youtube video of a persuasive speech (which I do not own any rights to) A sample speech has been written. Pupils will have to find the techniques in the speech, and then write their own. A support sheet with MAT extensions and low-level sentence starters has also been attached. Please note, I do not own the emoji exit ticket as I found it on pinterest - cannot recommend it highly enough though! Lesson three is not included - but it would be the pupils giving their presentations on why their heroes should win the class award. I would recommend then holding a vote on which speech was the most persuasive and that pupil should win a reward :)

Print these cards out, laminate them, and every time someone finishes 5 minutes early they can complete a literacy task. Includes an instruction sheet to stick on the outside of whatever box it is put in. INCLUDES: Modal Verbs, homophones, synonyms, fact vs opinion, adjective, collective nouns, concrete nouns, commas, contractions, compound words, singular and plural nouns, slow writing, description, adverbs, punctuation, onomatopoeia, speech marks, book review, tenses, collective nouns, imperative nouns, apostrophes, word jumbles and more!

WHOLE LESSON - 3 TASKS INCLUDED EXTENDED WRITING (LETTER) Pupils have to read the article on a boy who has been nominated for the “local hero award” and they have to decide whether they believe he should win. It will challenge the concepts on what a hero is and who deserves a hero award.

Example of my display posted. It includes all the blue word boxes and heading - pictures are not mine and are just off google.

KS3, KS4. A step by step guide of how to run blind date with a book! Pupils are given 'surprise' short stories, and have to read and review them! Includes a colourful and detailed 'story map' where pupils can review their short story. Pupils then can compare their short stories with other classmate's and this helps them to compare literature, whilst also getting them to think about what makes stories successful - great for creative writing! The short stories are super easy to find online, so this exercise can be tailored to many themes/genres!

A worksheet for pupils, and a completed worksheet to be used as an example! Great for getting pupils to think about which adjectives to use. Includes various 'banned' adjectives because they are either over-used or too easy.

A worksheet for pupils to easily review the books they have read. Can be used as a back to school task after a holiday, or as a class task after completing a book. Great for collecting ideas with creative writing
