Worksheet Descriptions
1) R C Sherriff Fact File
The introductory worksheet sets the stage by prompting students to create a comprehensive fact file about R C Sherriff. From personal details to famous quotes, students research and compile essential information. The adaptable format allows educators to customize the level of detail based on the students’ grade level, ensuring a well-rounded understanding.

The mind map worksheet guides the students to explore the broader historical context surrounding the time period in which Journeys End was written, by looking at the economic, political, social and beliefs during World War I.

The spider diagram format enables students to visually connect various elements of their character, fostering critical thinking. Educators can adapt the worksheet to emphasize specific character aspects.

This worksheet can be used to look at the form, structure and language of the book as a whole, or individual scenes.

PPT that follows the sentence stacking sequence for 'The Write Stuff’s year 3 unit. I have put the powerpoint together with a mixed year 3/4 class in mind. I have also included a boxing up grid which I used to aid their planning process for the independent write, and an additional powerpoint for two additional lessons to help develop the ending of the story. We talked a lot about the effect on the reader.
Top tips from my teaching experience of this unit:
I began with a lesson looking at different openings using a variety of picture books, we talked about how the openings worked to draw the reader in and used what we knew from the book Journey to write an effective opening.
I taught a lesson before the start of the sequence giving them the picture of the girl talking to family members and they wrote/drew speech bubbles for the scenes which we then used for SS1 and talked about using different verbs for ‘said’ - this gave them a clearer idea of where the inverted commas needed to go.
All pictures included in the powerpoint come from the original text ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker

A lesson sequence on the excerpt ‘Beyond the Sky and the Earth: A Journey into Bhutan’ from the Edexcel IGCSE anthology.
There may be two lessons worth of material here, focused on having students identify and annotate the key features of language and structure. Then, then class are divided in two and provided with tables to complete, which focus them on analysing either the presentation of the people or the place, for question 4 of Paper 1.
The resource may be better used with higher ability students, as the majority of the work is student focused, relying on their thoughts and analyses and those of their partner/group.

There are hyperlinks to videos on BBC learning zone and to a BBC bitesize activity - some of the questions in the activity are more complex as it is aimed at KS3 but I do not think this would be an issue as it is reinforcing what is learnt through the PowerPoint and extending the children further.
