Based on Blooms taxonomy, it is 6 sections of grade descriptors broadly aligned to the new 9-1 GCSE grades. It gives the skills and relevant parts of the assessment criteria . REALLY useful laminated and strung on thread as a hanging display and used in virtually every lesson to indicate easily how to move up to the next set of skills, with every class from year 7-11. <br /> Also works well on walls as a 'ladder' of progress. There is a matching one for READING skills!

Based on quotes from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', it is a group activity for KS3 - used effectively with a set 2 y8. It has differently coloured elements of the task (a point, a relevant example/evidence, an explanation and a development), which the separate groups have to identify and organise to construct a large (5-6 sheet of A4) PEED argument which can then be used for display and revision. Several different versions included for different groups. <br /> It worked well and the class enjoyed it.

two lessons(ish) introducing the 9-1 English exam and exploring the assessment criteria, grade boundaries and considering SWOT. Includes an activity handout of the Assessment Criteria and broad grade descriptors for approximately grade 2/5/8 (designed to be a double sided handout)<br /> Both of these word docs and the Notebook file of the 'scheme' should be available or I will bundle' them so that they are.<br /> PLEASE NOTE: if you buy on of my other Paper 1 schemes (James and the Giant Peach, War Horse or War of the Worlds), this schemelet is included as the first few slides on the unit.

A really comprehensive scheme to establish the basics of creative writing - hence 'skeleton'. It was designed for Y7 originally - a fairly high set but they seem to be getting more and more grammar-savvy as they come up from Primary so accessible to lower sets too. I have also used it very successfully with a middle set Y9 so it is pretty adaptable!<br /> Gives a really good grounding in techniques that will last through KS3 and 4 - and can produce good display too!

4-6 lessons to practise for the English Paper 1 exam. Guide to all the reading AND writing questions, based on an extract from 'War of the Worlds'. It is for a higher ability, based on the text choice, but inevitably shares most skills with the HA ability practice versions which have a much more 'accessible' text.<br /> It is very straightforward and there are other versions available (based on 'War Horse', 'James and the Giant Peach' and Paper 2 'Flights') All the versions share a lot of material and are infinitely editable to choose another text and change the question details in the hectic revision period! You could even give a 'blank' version to top sets and ask them to find relevant text extracts, requiring them to really understand the focus of the question.<br /> NB: this also includes the lessons and resources in the introductory 'schemelet'.

Scheme of work for 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' byJohn Boyne. Aimed at KS3 and used for a top set Y8 very successfully but it is very flexible - differentiation by outcome has a bad reputation but this really can suit a very varied cohort... I have included some of the questions that the top set produced for a 'write your own questions' quiz as a guide should the class struggle.<br /> There is a powerpoint AND a notebook (Smartboard) version - if they don't both load, I will 'bundle' them so they are both available.
