<p>This presentation analyses Shakespeare’s Language and introduces students to his grammatical techniques and sentence structure in a simple and understandable way.</p> <p>The resource was used to aide year 12 students in their production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” and help them greatly to understand the grammatical side of the play.</p>

<p>The powerpoint works through a range of Stanislavski’s techniques such as:</p> <ul> <li>The magic if</li> <li>Given and Previous circumstances</li> <li>Circles of attention</li> </ul> <p>The powerpoint was used for year 10 and year 11 students as a way of introducing his methods to them in a practical way (due to the number of interactive workshops that are included on each slide) to use in their course.</p> <p>The presentation was part of a lesson for students studying “Blood Brothers” by Willy Russel as a part of their GCSE so the last two slides have activities relating to that. If you are not using Blood Brothers feel free to ignore those slides if you would like.</p> <p>Attached is also a lesson plan that briefly details that activities on each slide also.</p>

<p>This pack contains a 26 slide Powerpoint that introduces the concept of speed to KS3 students, a worksheet containing two short extension opportunities for students, and an activity that coincides with the final few slides of the Powerpoint.</p> <p>The resources start at an incredibly basic level and work through a number key mathematical skills such as:</p> <ul> <li>Converting between units of time</li> <li>Converting between units of distance</li> <li>Rearranging the formula for speed</li> <li>Unpicking an exam question to find the numbers within the clutter</li> </ul> <p>The resources can be used across multiple lessons (It took 3 hour long lessons to complete with my class) but could easily be sped up depending on the ability of the students.<br /> The lesson objectives for the pack are:</p> <ol> <li>For students to be able to solve simple speed related mathematical problems.</li> <li>For student to be able to convert between units of speed and distance.</li> <li>For students to be able to rearrange the speed formula to solve simple distance and time problems.</li> </ol> <p>The Powerpoint introduces the topic in bite-size chunks with plenty of examples and questions to ease students into learning, and finishes with a range of mixed style questions, real world applications (train timetable activity), and a short competition to consolidate the learning of students whilst also promoting a competitive and enjoyable atmosphere within the classroom.</p> <p>The pack could be used to introduce the topic to KS3 students or be used as a quick reminder for older students during revision.</p>

<p>This short worksheet contains a range of questions relating to algebra with a progression in difficulty as your proceed.<br /> The questions are grouped into 5 sections:</p> <ol> <li>Collecting like terms (Easy)</li> <li>Expanding simple brackets (Medium)</li> <li>Simplifying algebra (Easy)</li> <li>Expanding and simplifying brackets (Hard)</li> <li>Algebra in shapes (Medium)</li> </ol> <p>This worksheet was used as an extension worksheet for year 8 students, a starter for a group of set 1 year 10 students and a revision activities for a group of year 11 students. In each situation it was highly effective.</p>
