A powerpoint covering in basic terms the requirements for AQA GCSE language paper 1.

Initially designed for very low ability Year 7’s ( Nurture groups). Would also be suitable for KS2. Power points for each lesson. Work book for students to write into. Homework choice board- students pick one activity to complete for each homework.

POWER POINTS FOR EACH LESSON. HOMEWORK CHOICE BOARD. PUPIL WRITE- IN BOOKLET TO ACCOMPANY POWERPOINTS- Booklet gets progressively more difficult as scaffolding removed. DESIGNED FOR KEY STAGE 3 LOW ABILITY GROUPS.

A power point to get students thinking about possible ideas for this brief. Includes film clips and guided thinking.

A very simple comic strip for KS3 with key plot points so that pupils can draw in their own versions of the characters. Also included a choice board which can be set for cover work or homework- students pick a task from the ‘board’.

I have put notes for each poem in the order of SMILE: Structure Mood Imagery Language Empathy/Links The idea is that the pupils add their own quotations in the blank boxes. You may disagree with some of the categories but feel free to amend. This can be used when first teaching or as a revision tool.

3 pictoral prompts: old house storm ghost that can be used as a cover/stand alone lesson to practise skills required for paper 1 question 5 of Aqa.

Santa online research lesson I work in an online school so this a lesson designed to be used with the internet. This is a lesson where you can begin as a whole class and then set them off to do online research or load it up as an online lesson. The ‘spot the difference’ slide and ‘wordsearch’ slide have the answers on so do amend anything before you decide how to use it. Then sit back while the pupils do all the work!

A FUN ICE BREAKER WHERE STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO DRAW A PIG AND THEN GET A PERSONALITY ANALYSIS ON WHAT THEY’VE DRAWN. Always a winner!
