This is a full PowerPoint (for a 1 hour lesson) which I have used with year 7, 8 and 9 groups. This lesson could also be used as a cross-curricular or whole school resource to help students in other subjects understand the importance of correct grammar and amend their work as necessary. This PowerPoint is colourful, engaging and includes a challenge task which stretched the more able in my group. I have also included a slide on common errors where the students have to spot why the apostrophe usage is incorrect. As a plenary, the PowerPoint also includes a peer assessment task. Please leave reviews, thank you.

This is an engaging and easily accessible scheme of work, which was created for use with a set 3 and set 4 ability GCSE class. It follows the new EDUQAS specification, however it would also be an incredibly useful resource for any exam board that has a section on Transactional (non-fiction) writing. This scheme contains: - 13 PowerPoints - Lessons on the full range of writing types as specified by the exam (formal and informal letters, articles, reports, reviews, speeches) - 9 worksheets (including 1 homework) - A computer based lesson on revision of layout - Opportunities for self and peer assessment (worksheets provided) Please leave comments and reviews, all are gratefully received.
