This resource contains a lengthy Powerpoint which covers a full range of techniques which should be considered when writing creatively. The Powerpoint ends with an assessment title, and the success criteria to accompany it. Although aimed at KS3, this is also useful for weaker KS4 students, or as starters/refreshers at KS4. The Powerpoint offers: Eight ten-minute activities to stimulate creative thought Two slides focussing on verb synonyms in order to up level writing Six slides looking at connotation, and the consideration that must be taken of our choices A quick look at onomatopoeia and the implication of choosing animal sounds Two ‘Picture the Scene’ examples encouraging the use of the studied techniques Quick looks at: adverbs, boring sentences, syntax arrangement, avoidance of ‘got’, good openers and ‘improve the examples’ opportunity Assessment title and success criteria.

To accompany the Power Point resource of ‘Animal Farm Characters and The Russian Revolution’ [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/animal-farm-characters-and-the-russian-revolution-12366402] The characters are laid out in a format that can be printed onto address label pages/stickers - height of each pairing is approximately 3.5cm.

This resource is an accessible and informative presentation of comparison between the characters of Animal Farm (images taken from the film) and their counterparts in the real Russian Revolution. Each pairing of images is followed by historical information, accurately explaining the real character and their historical behaviour. See also the free resource https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/animal-farm-characters-russian-sticers-12366420 where the pairings can be printed out as stickers.

A simple resource designed to show emotional connotation in writing.

Developed from the wonderful film short ‘Father and Daughter’ , this story is without dialogue and therefore open to endless interpretation for both KS3 and KS4 students. I use this with both KS3 and GCSE students in order to develop their understanding of emotions in their writing. The plot details are sparse, and it is up to the pupil to add detail. Detail is the key to this piece of work. Included in this resource is a series of questions chosen to stimulate thought and to observe the methods of storytelling which can be replicated in the pupil’s own writing. (Please note the mention of VEMB in Q6 refers to Voice, Expression, Movement and Breathing - as the fundamental ways in which we non verbally demonstrate our feelings - look in My Shop for further VEMB resources) Also included are suggested answers. At the end of the resource is a short task - but this can be exchanged for a much longer one looking at the whole film - this should be at the discretion of the teacher and their knowledge of the ability level of their students. The film short is available on YouTube but please note that the audio track of one of the YouTube versions is slightly off - best quality is from the BFI Screen Shorts DVD.

A simple PowerPoint using a wide range of paper advertisements from the past -the first slide shows the advert and the genre being used, and the second slide reveals the product being sold. The aim of the resource is to develop the understanding of how genre can be manipulated for both non-fiction and fiction - there are no bounds when it comes to the imagination and how to advertise a product. Each advert can be analysed for its persuasive qualities and how it manipulates the target audience.
