MEGA Bundle! Over 100 fully resourced lessons that can be taught across KS3 and KS4
I am currently working as 2ic English in a Harris Academy English department. I have years of teaching and planning experience under my belt. I am SALT trained and have spent many years working with SEN nurture groups as well as working as a G&T champion. I try to create resources and lessons that teach from the top down but offer differentiation opportunities. This is a huge bundle of over 100 ready to be taught, high quality lessons with accompanying resources. There are several full SOW included in this bundle to be taught across years 7, 8 and 9 including 'Diverse Shorts' and 'Telling Tales'. Other lessons can be tweaked for KS4. These lessons are dual coded with plenty of visual stimuli. All lessons offer multiple stretch and challenge opportunities and applied learning time tasks. These SOW also offer ALF opportunities along with the relevant marking material. Some of these lessons have been designed for on-line/virtual/home teaching/cover work but can also be taught in the classroom. These lessons are differentiated and well scaffolded. Each lesson works with individual extracts taken from a range of fiction and non-fiction literature and poetry. Grab a bargain!
