Most resources I develop are geared towards GCSE 2016-18 (AQA and Edexcel) curriculum and are practical solutions to classroom teaching. I keep most of these black and white for simple/cost-effective print. I read each novel/play/poem and break down into manageable parts. I find this most effective within classrooms where students require chunks of information they can order, in sequence. The 'study-packs' I create can apply to any book/play/poem and provide visual tools for memory recall.

MACBETH - WHO IS AT THE TABLE? RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS

Straightforward resource - works best if printed A3. Can easily be self-designed and not paid for. The completion of this resource in class developed student-thinking and they responded with some fantastic questions. One of the students sketched the 'Porter' character, drunk on the floor after an alcohol "session". Other students read into the dynamics of the relationships between the characters, e.g. Macbeth and Duncan were heads of the table due to gender inequality of the 1600's; Banquo was sat on the Supernatural table because of his death and return as a ghost.

GCSE LITERATURE STUDY-ASSIST PACK - Any Novel or Play

A pack containing combined resources to create a complete study-aid for students which includes: New Word Chart / Quotation Booklet / Timeline / Visual-Mapping / Internet-Research Booklet. This prints as a double-sided 12-page booklet or could be printed in individual sections and introduced throughout the period of study. I recently introduced this with Year 9's who are studying Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, i.e. as one full pack to use alongside this text. I am about to use the same pack, with the same class, as they enter the engaging realms of Macbeth. The feedback from the pack was that the students (as a majority) felt it made greater sense to them to have all of the paperwork together and then filed in this way. We booked the IT Suite over two lessons, to introduce the Internet Research booklet and used the visual aids (Timeline/Visual-Mapping) in class with the interactive whiteboard. The Timelines were particularly effective and we printed these A3-size. One student comment was that she felt that it "provided a visual-snapshot" so she could rely on/recall a "picture", rather than words, to consider the "chronological-order of events" when she was studying, or in an exam. These tools are all available individually, but I've combined them in a single-pack and kept the cost reasonable, as I felt this could save some preparation time for teachers. Personally, I would print off the whole pack A4 and then figure the order/sizing from there, as this could easily work as a combined booklet and introduced to a class where applicable.
