A PowerPoint of the story with sound effects. I have scanned this into my computer from a book that's a bit too big for the scanner! Some of the images, therefore, are not as perfect as I would like. Nonetheless, I hope it helps! Also included is a PowerPoint comprehension quiz which is a true or false press the buzzer style quiz.

Includes a PPT and lots of resources. The Powerpoint I have been adding to as I teach Lit. Crit. with my A-level home tuition students. It contains links to Feminism, Marxism, Psychoanalysis and queer theory resources. It is very much a work in progress and I will add more as and when it is ready. Just thought it might be useful as it's not that easy to find accessible material online in my experience. Hope it helps. I have also included all sorts of things I have pooled from the Internet which have been useful as supporting materials for the various types of criticism. Thank you to all those who have produced the items - I think I've added all my sources either in the documents or the file names. Please let me know if you notice that any are missing and I will rectify that. Please leave me a review if you find the resources useful. Thanks.

<p>Powerpoint lesson with lesson plan and resources to teach Compare and Contrast principles at KS2/3. A good introduction to key terms and to how to approach a compare and contrast task. The lesson would require you buying chocolate bars but this could be scaled down to fun-size bars or individually wrapped chocolates if that’s easier (and less expensive!) I hope it helps. Many thanks to <a href="http://elestars.files.wordpress.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">elestars.files.wordpress.com</a> for the texts and exercises on comparing and contrasting texts.</p>

Lots of activities and links to go with the popular story 'Kipper's Toybox'. Maths and sequencing activities, comprehension, craft activity, games, links to CBeebies bedtime hour reading and other resources. I hope it helps. Please leave a review if you like the resources.

<p>A Powerpoint that goes through Subject, verb, object and then moves on to explain semicolons. I have used this with an adult student who is brushing up grammar skills for business English, but it would work well at any level from KS3 onwards. There are worksheets to consolidate learning of SVO and semicolons, and a handout on clauses. I hope they help! The PPT contains an interactive quiz originally from moodle.urbandale with thanks).</p>

Powerpoint taking students through poem with accompanying activities. This is based on a resource I found on YouTube which is acknowledged in the powerpoint. There are accompanying tasks and worksheets that are my own. Also included is a copy of the poem. I hope you find them of some help!

All of the handouts can be printed from the PPT slides, but I have also included files from where they can be printed directly. I hope it helps.

Lesson plan, copy of the poem, handout of main events of the poem and powerpoint on how to write newspaper reports. The powerpoint (adapted from a ppt originally uploaded by lowrip1ckle with thanks) takes pupils through writing newspaper reports point by point with activities and links to current front pages. This can then be used to write their own newspaper reports on the poem. I use this for one-to-one tuition but it can be used in the classroom too. Hope you find it useful.

Activities include: ordering the months of the year; telling the time; making a birthday wish-list using your name; writing a diary; simple addition using balloons and writing a birthday party invitation. All resources are on a PPT and can be printed out. The PPT also has an interactive slide that puts the months of the year in order. I hope it helps. Please leave me a review if you find the resources helpful!

<p>Since the first lockdown in March 2020, I have been running a (mostly) weekly quiz for kids on Zoom. The children taking part have ranged in age from around 8 to 14, so the questions are very broad. I deliver the quiz on Zoom, but use a PowerPoint presentation to show the children the questions and then the answers at the end of each round. As time has gone on, lots of the children have written their own rounds and delivered them, which has been great for their creativity and for their presentation skills. I hope the quizzes might be of some use to you and the children you teach. I have written many of the questions myself, but have also used some websites for inspiration or help. There is a document with all the links on with this download. Please let me know if I have missed off any sources, and I will rectify it.</p>

PPT lesson adapted from a great resource by lowrip1ckle, with thanks. Whole lesson using today's front pages to pick apart what goes into writing a newspaper report.

Includes links to today's front pages and lesson plan.

PPT on signifier, signified and the sign, PPT to accompany each activity (with notes beneath slides where applicable), glossary of terms, handouts of texts to analyse, homework activity.

A Powerpoint which tells pupils what Advent is, and introduces them to the Advent period. There are teaching notes below each slide and activity suggestions. Also included are links to two videos. One can be used as a starter to think about what is/should be important at Christmas, and the other as a plenary to recap on what Advent is. It is aimed at EYFS/KS1. I hope it helps!

Lots of resources about our solar system and the moon landings. I have used a book called Space Walkies by Robert Dunn as a trigger for the activities and it is included here as a PPT, but you do not need to read the book to do the rest of the activities. There are word searches, labelling activities, number and shape activities, ICT skills activities and lots of other links including to online videos and games from CBeebies. Some of the worksheets are differentiated. I have also included some PPTs that I adapted from some collated by outonthewolds at tes.com with thanks.

I hope the resources help.

There are also lots of handouts for discussion/investigation and a homework task. I hope it helps.
