Power and Conflict Revision

Power and Conflict Revision

(2)
Power and Conflict poetry revision resource which gets students to build revision cubes using cube nets and a collection of around 90 symbols related to each of the poems. Students are allocated one of the fifteen poems, decorate their cube net related to one of the poems, choose between 5-10 symbols related to their poem, and then work with another student to make comparisons and comparative notes on their two poems. A simple idea but could be useful for last-minute revision. Check out our English Shop for loads more free and inexpensive KS3, KS4, KS5, Literacy and whole school resources.

DIRT Activity - Approach to DIRT

(2)
Marking can be such a time-consuming process without gaining the dialogue you want to have with your students. I’ve put together this approach to marking and DIRT that should hopefully save you some time. Rather than writing out the same comments again and again, this activity uses an alphabet code to do the work for you.

Right Wing Extremism Reading Comprehension

(1)
An easy to use reading comprehension pack with three sections of differentiated questions. This activity focuses on the right-wing extremist ‘Tommy Robinson’ and his supporters, as well as the now dwindling EDL.

It can be used in form time as part of literacy focus, or in an English lesson for KS3/4 GCSE comprehension training. It is interesting, useful, very easy to use and good way to combine Citizenship and English.
