Together, we annotated the poems on the board.

No lesson plans, but the PPT's should be self explanatory.

3 lessons for writing practise for the WJEC English Language examinations (aimed at foundation pupils) - vocabulary settling activity relates to the written task.
These are a novel way to share outcomes. You can change the subject from English and type in the Unit title. Obviously change my name and picture to personalise for yourself. Insert the first and last slides to your PPT. Getting pupils to comment on what they have learned is specific and sometimes useful.
A Powerpoint to aid revision of the writing styles tested by the WJEC, some past paper questions (half an hour per question) sorry the mark scheme looks patchy but it was just a screenshot!
