A Key Stage 3 PowerPoint teaching resource which explores a number of different ballads and the surrounding myths and legends. A number of extracts are included, but this can be adapted to suit different ballad poems, for example, ‘The Lady of Shalott’ at the beginning of the unit. The resource looks at the ballad form; the history of the English Language and then focuses in on extracts from ‘Beowulf’ and ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’. A number of Youtube clips are included and activities can be adapted: some include designing heraldry; writing and advert for a knight and writing your own ballad!

A PowerPoint presentation which guides you through the features of autobiographical writing with a KS3 class, before looking at a number of examples and using these in order for students to write their own autobiographical pieces.

Ideal for building skills from the start of the AQA AS English Language course, although this can also be used for A Level and adapted to explore AO2 in particular. Takes students through a range of activities, examples and past papers to build skills for Paper 1, with some additional Paper 2 guidance towards the end of the PowerPoint.
