I am an experienced teacher and currently Head of English and Media in a large secondary school. I am also an examiner for EDUQAS English Language GCSE. I have a range of resources available on TES. Some of my resources are quite old, from when I first started out, and I am currently working in my spare time to update my resources. There are a range of resources from displays, schemes of work, revision booklets, mock exam papers and lessons available.

Literary Hunger Games studying power in Macbeth

Literary Hunger Games studying power in Macbeth

(0)
A fun, engaging and interactive lesson using the system of a 'Hunger Games' to discuss power and strength within Macbeth. Students are given a character at random, and some basic information, they then need to argue and discuss who would win a literary Hunger Games. There are 'weapons' cards that can be collected from the cornucopia, as well as 'health boosts' for students who the teacher decides is most persuasive. Really engaging way to consider the themes of power, corruption, greed and strength within Macbeth. Especially successful with middle-low sets to encourage engagement.

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 3 and assists teaching of Boy by Roald Dahl. 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 fun, colourful display reminding students of often common mistakes within English. Colourful and easy to understand, it is a fun way of reminding students to check their mistakes themselves. All images and font have been checked and only 'free to use or share commercially' images have been used.

Philosophy for Children (P4C) lesson on Youth Crime

(0)
A fun and engaging P4C lesson discussing youth crime, with a simple newspaper article as stimulus. A good article to analyse for non-fiction text alongside novels as well. A great way to get students talking. The entire lesson is planned with resources, Learning Objectives and Success Criteria. Good for encouraging communication, justification of ideas and listening skills. Students really enjoy P4C and it is structured in a way that means all children can achieve.
