A long term plan for SEMH Yr 7 covering the entire year. GCSE AOs identified to reflect the new linear nature of our subject. <br /> The Quest (Autumn 1) can be found in Hodder English Gold bk1. I have also up loaded some resources to support this.<br /> I've tried to ensure that the students have a diluted taste of the new GCSE English Language requirements to study texts from 19th -21st centuries.

This is a two year strategy designed to promote Literacy across the curriculum in a special school.<br /> Staff, students and parents are all included in the strategy. I have endeavoured to raise the profile of literacy and embed the concept that every teacher, regardless of subject specialism, is a teacher of literacy.<br />

An introductory power point for Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak. Images of Victorian Freak Shows. <br /> A way of stimulating discussion about the subject of freak shows prior to reading the book.

<p>Stand alone lesson to support understanding of root words as an aid to spelling, decoding and reading for meaning.</p> <p>Simple activities which increase in difficulty and challenge.</p> <p>Suitable for KS2 and KS3.</p>

I have created these activities to enhance the Hodder Going for Gold scheme 'The Quest' which can be found in Book 1.<br /> This is a great scheme designed for Key Stage 3 students who are working below expectations for their age and who may be difficult to engage.<br /> The scheme is based upon a quest to save a friend who has been abducted and a crown which has been stolen. The students have to engage in a variety of writing activities, games and puzzles to battle their way through a deadly tunnel to an underground fortress, where their friend is being held.<br /> The text books are colourful and engaging. I have always found this to be successful with even the most reluctant of English students.

A power point activity based on The Deserted House by Mary Coleridge.<br /> <br /> The activity requires the students to think about how the poet has appealed to our senses to create images and atmosphere.<br /> <br /> Suitable for both Key stage 2 &amp; 3
