This 15 slide powerpoint presentation is beautifully illustrated and very engaging for the students. This lesson explores the written techniques of three authors exploring the same topic through a trio of articles. It encourages the students to compare and contrast the purpose, the techniques, the target audience and the potential outcomes of each piece of writing. I have used this lesson many times and I think it really helps the student's skills of analysis.

This 21 slide powerpoint presentation is beautifully illustrated and very engaging for the students. Through a series of structured discussion and writing tasks the students are introduced to the keys terms of Anagnorisis, Aposiopesis, Circumlocution and Bildungsroman. This particular lesson in the series of three really helps to refine academic writing and has been extremely helpful to me as a teacher.

This beautifully illustrated and engaging powerpoint presentation is aimed at A Level students, and is particularly relevant and engaging in today’s political climate. This resource is designed to get students talking and more importantly, writing academically. I have used this resource many times in a number of different ways: as a lesson resource (obviously), a homework and a revision material – all have worked extremely well for me. This presentation explores the concept of ‘fate’ in the post modern world as well as a constant theme throughout the play. …Beware the Ides of March. Enjoy!

George Eliot’s classic tale of Silas Marner is brought beautifully to life through this detailed power point lesson. Each slide is detailed and engaging, with structured tasks designed to spark verbal debate and structured questions to promote academic writing. I have taught this text many times in the last seventeen years and I have used this particular resource to lead my teaching in class, as a homework assignment and as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This power point lesson includes learning objectives, a starter activity, a recap on previous learning, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource that just requires the push of the down key. Enjoy!
