This powerpoint presentation is beautifully illustrated and engaging for the students. Each powerpoint is constructed with a starter, key words and phrases, a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an extension task and a PEE writing task, plus a plenary. This presentation focuses clearly on one scene and touches upon the prominent theme within the starter activity. It is aimed clearly at KS4, but can so easily be adapted up or down the key stages. All of my resources have been run in class and are revised and updated on a yearly basis.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is brought beautifully to life with these dynamically illustrated slides and the thoughtful tasks contained within. I have taught this text many times in my own classroom and it remains a personal favourite. This year I revised all my Gatsby resources. I have now used this particular resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material/homework and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This power point lesson contains a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource.

GCSE to A Level Transition: Essay Writing

GCSE to A Level Transition: Essay Writing

(1)
The academic jump between GCSE and A level is significant. Often there isn’t a transition program or materials in place, and some students struggle. I have created an ever-growing set of materials to compensate for this skill’s gap and students have found these materials incredibly helpful. I have used these materials after students have completed their GCSEs and indicated that they are planning to move onto ‘A’ level, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision. All have worked well for the students. This power point lesson focuses on the skills required to write a basic ‘A’ level essay. Through a series of structured exercises: the students learn how to create structured paragraphs, seek simple ways to write an introduction, and think carefully on how dynamic their conclusions should read. This is a complete resource. Enjoy.
