KS3 SPAG BOOKLET
I have created 3 SPAG booklets in Red - Amber - Green.
These booklets target KS2/KS3/KS4 abilities.
This booklet is my Amber - KS3 level booklet.
My Red booklet (KS2/KS3 level) is very much back to basics.
This 29 page printable booklet covers common incorrect spellings, singular and plural words, homophones, writing in different tenses, capital letter tests and activities, it’s vs it is, your and you’re, their/there/they’re, too/too. This booklet focuses on slightly more ambitious puncutation than the red booklet such as colons, semi colons and brackets. It again tests on adjectives, nouns, verbs and adverbs.

KS4 Challenging SPAG Booklet
This is my third SPAG Booklet. I have created three tiered SPAG booklets in Red, Orange and Green (KS2, KS3 and KS4) challenging weaker to higher ability pupils.
This KS4/Green booklet looks at GCSE SPAG errors and includes worksheets, quizzes and written tasks. Alongside challenging and improving spelling, punctuation and grammar, this booklet also challenges the use of ambitious vocabulary.
It is a 26 page, printable booklet.

Dystopian Narrative planning and writing lesson
This lesson looks at gathering ideas of a Dystopian world, it helps students make a plan of their own dystopian world. It includes an active listen on what a Dystopia is, in addition to the sharing of more ideas.
The narrative story is broken up into a 5 part plan. There is a teacher example for each part of the plan - modelled.
The slides then move on to writing up each part of their narrative with a full narrative model example, broken up section by section for support.
Please leave a review if you get chance :)
