Hello, I have been teaching for over 20 years in secondary schools. I was a Head of English for 8 years and an examiner at GCSE, A Level and IB for a total of 10 years. My website has lots of free stuff on it, so please explore. It also has details of my new novel, "Larkfall" which I have just published and am very excited about. I hope that you find my resources useful. My review ratings are pretty high and I hope that I have helped people. All the best, Tallybarnett
