To assist students with exam practice, exam writing style and 20th Century fiction I have created an exam style paper for Eduqas English Language Component 1 using Animal Farm by George Orwell. Component 1 consists of: Section A (20%) – Reading Understanding of one prose extract (about 60-100 lines) of literature from the 20th century assessed through a range of structured questions Section B (20%) – Prose Writing One creative writing task selected from a choice of four titles.

A set of revision cards that cover the entire play scene by scene with key quotes, key terminology and the major themes. Each slide is cut into 4 pocket sized cards that can be hole punched and put on a key ring to make a set of flip cards helping students with every aspect of the play. The last 3 cards cover the context, about the author and the key characters in the play. An incredibly useful revision resource for students needing to 'get to grips' with Blood Brothers ready for their English Litearture exams.

A complete lesson with all resources, learning objectives, success criteria and poem breakdown. This lesson talks through the context, content, structure, form, language, imagery and tone. With a step by step analysis for the poem, including key questions, students can expand understanding and knowledge. This can be used as a complete lesson, but it can equally be used as a revision aide for students either in or outside of the classroom.

A complete mock paper for the Eduqas English Language Component 2- non fiction 19th and 21st century. A powerpoint and mock paper for the English Language GCSE. Powerpoint goes through each reading question in detail, helping students understand the question and what is expected of them. The powerpoint does not cover the transactional writing, however two transactional writing questions are included in the mock paper. A good way of instilling confidence in students before the exam.

A fun and engaging revision game based on the game show Pointless. A fun PowerPoint with music, timer video clip, a range of revision rounds such as 'contextual Information' , 'anagrams', 'name the character' and 'who said it?', this game will help your students look for answers they may not usually consider. A great way to recap knowledge in an exciting way.

A lesson with a range of tasks to help students write a lively, engaging and fit for purpose article. This is a potential question for the Eduqas English GCSE. The lesson comprises of a BINGO game identifying persuasive language techniques (with link to interactive game), as well as an exam style question, a range of tasks and embedded timers within the PowerPoint. All Success Criteria, Learning Objectives and a 'real world link' are included.

Following the structure, format and wording of the WJEC/EDUQAS literature exam paper, I have created a mock paper using Death of a Naturalist by Seamus Heaney for students to practice exam responses. Included in the resource is an essay planning sheet to help students consider their answer and time their writing.

To tackle the lack of enthusiasm about homework in my school I created a Nando's menu of homework tasks. This one targets key stage 4 and above and assists teaching of Lord of the Flies by William Golding. There are 25 homeworks already planned, differentiated by 'spice'. Since using these menus, where the students pick for themselves, the amount and quality of homework has improved

A very detailed workbook or revision book for William Shakespeare's Macbeth. The workbook includes: all the key scenes broken down with key questions throughout, all key soliloquys with key questions, a range of essay questions, short language questions, analysis of theme, character and purpose. A wide range of activities to help students revise Macbeth and succeed in their exams. 36 pages of tasks and analysis opportunities. Students could use this in conjunction with the Macbeth and Lady Macbeth quote revision cards also available through my shop.

For Eduqaas GCSE years 10 and 11. A homework booklet that covers both contextual tasks, poetry analysis, revision help and tasks. All of the poems are there alongside an analysis and annotation box. Very useful when avoiding sending the anthology home with students.

A fun lesson researching and creating a timeline to explore context of Victorian England before studying A Christmas Carol. Can be used in isolation or as part of a scheme. Very good for low ability Key Stage 4 or Key Stage 3.

Everything your students need to know to pass the Blood Brothers element of Literature Component 2 for Eduqas/WJEC. Also useful for all other exam boards. Students are talked through the question and how to answer. Students have a breakdown and key quotes for every character and theme in the text, as well as note cards on techniques used such as parallels, contrasts, dialogue, the effect of the narrator and much more. A fantastic resource for exam revision.

A fun one off lesson getting students to plan, consider and create ghost stories using first person. Can be used in conjunction with any other scheme of work or as a one off cover lesson. A good introduction to creative writing or drama. Worksheet with pictures of different haunted settings included to help students who struggle with creative writing.

When I can, I create mock papers for Eduqas English Language Component 1 and 2 so my students have more practice before their exams. This paper is a COMPONENT 2 READING PAPER. It does not include the writing section. For this paper, I selected to sources about feral children, and created an exam paper and indicative content for teachers in my school. All are included in the price. I have also included a complete PowerPoint to walk students through the exam so you need no/very little editing! In the bundle you will find: A PPT with some example answers (no full mark answers though, so students can improve upon work - all are around 6-7 mark answers for 10 mark responses)

An easy to edit certificate to award success in a variety of subjects. Suitable for Key Stage 3, Key stage 4 and primary.

This powerpoint has been created to encourage confidence in unseen poetry, and to teach students how to analyse and plan for the WJEC/EDUQAS unseen poetry question timings. The first five slides are resources for the class. Slide 1 - a breakdown of each unseen poetry question - colour coded - to explain expectations from examiner, timings, what the question is asking you to do. Slide 2 - a reminder bookmark to give students to take home to practise with at home. It has 8 key questions students should ask themselves to ensure clear and detailed answers when responding. Slide 3 - The first poem handout with annotation boxes (colour coded). This is advisable to be printed in A3 so they have a decent amount of space to write notes in. Slide 4 - The second poem handout - this one has the original poem and the poem they have to compare it with on- with annotation boxes (colour coded). This is advisable to be printed in A3 so they have a decent amount of space to write notes in. I normally print slide 3 and 4 back to back Slide 5 - an optional print out slide with a breakdown of what to write in each paragraph, as well as possible sentence starters/cloze paragraphs to use. This masterclass uses the poems ‘Leisure’ by W.H Davies and ‘The Lesson’ by Maya Angelou. Slides 6,7,8 and 9 talk you and the class through how to quickly annotate with timers to keep the pace. The poem analysis is broken down into sections with written prompts to show on the board. This is the second masterclass, after the students requested to do another. The format of the slides is really easy to edit, so you can use this repeatedly and just change the poems in the middle.

A fun and engaging way to encourage narrative writing, creative writing and effective planning in preparation for GCSE. These story starters were designed for low ability students, with lots of bright colours and recognisable cartoons that can be put together to create a short story. These cards can be used individually, or in multiples. Used with my students as homework with great success.

I have compiled a range of questions for WJEC/EDUQAS in the exam style to cover every theme, relationship or character in the following texts: Blood Brothers A Christmas Carol The Merchant of Venice The poetry anthology.

All of these include an extract for the springboard essay and cover every theme, character and relationship.
