One of the difficulties that students encounter when faced with a writing task in English is how to get started and then cohesively develop that thought. I find that many of them, especially younger students, rebel at the idea of rigorous planning and drafting, just wanting to get it down. Others face a barrier of fear.
I came across the idea of using the Fibonacci sequence for extended and creative writing by accident when searching an online thesaurus. I immediately saw the sense in it and decided to apply it in the classroom. It worked. It solved the problem. There was now a way to plan, draft, develop and craft in small pieces that led to a satisfying cohesive whole. Some were amazed at just how much they could write and how they could creatively extend their writing in terms of thought provoking discussion. In lower ability classes it provided an element of fun and removed the daunting prospect of extended writing with higher word counts. In the higher ability groups it opened up the channel for students comfortably working at grade ‘C’ to move out of that comfort zone and stretch upwards towards the A* that so many of them had the potential to reach.
When I analysed the results I found that two things contributed to the success.
1. The fact that a piece of extended writing is built step at a time through developing levels of skill. This encouraged confidence.
2. The framework encouraged the skill of planning, drafting, and editing. Choosing the right words and the most effective order of words, within a gradually increasing number of words, developed vocabulary, sentence structure, and lifted the content away from basic repetition of facts. Students had the confidence to ‘craft’ their writing.
The resource that follows uses an example in which the students can engage collaboratively. There is then an individual assignment for them to complete using the sequence. As it stands it fits criteria suited to the ‘gifted and talented’ of Key Stage 3, and will be of value in Key Stage 4 to move those ‘C’ grade learners out of their comfort zone and stretch them upwards. However, it can be adapted quite easily for students of lower ability. Post 16 students who achieved low grade GCSE and need to either re-sit or complete Functional Skills English at level 2 will also find this pattern helps build their skills.
The resource has been designed in a workbook format. However, it doesn’t have to be used that way. It can be copied and pasted onto a presentation for whole class collaborative discussion and writing projects. Each page has been formatted so that it stands alone and therefore can be photocopied separately and used at appropriate times in the lesson (s). It has been left in Microsoft Word format so that it is editable by teachers who wish
These worksheets have been designed to subtly embed the valuable functional skills learners required to get the most out of education, work and everyday life and to help them function more confidently, effectively and independently. They can be used effectively in Tutorials or Maths sessions.
Each resource has been proven to educate learners on a variety of subjects that will enhance knowledge as well as promoting creativity and individuality.
This Bundle Includes the following 10 Resources
IT COULD BE YOU!
Each has won the lottery and has £1,000,000 to spend.
Task 1 requires learners to decide on how much of their winnings they would gift, if any, to a charity and/or family and friends. This offers an effective platform for discussion around charities, generosity and their individual value of money.
Task two requires the learner to select from a list of items and how they would spend the remaining money. They will write reasons for their choices and share with the rest of the group, which is a great opportunity for speaking and listening and finding common interests within the group.
Task Three asks the learners to complete a shopping list and to include costs and keep a running total of their remaining balance.
The final objective is to get as close to spending 1,000,000 as possible. Calculator use is down to the discretion of the Tutor and the ability of learners.

It then requires them to study a series of weather graphes and answer questions to confirm they are able to read and extract the correct information.
The final task involves budgeting a holiday to Newquay using a fictional scenario and an allowance of £650.

This 3rd series of flashcards, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted the theme of guilt and anxiety in the play.
It is interesting in Macbeth that Macbeth as a military general had no difficulty in applying violent acts to kill his enemy but could not handle emotionally or mentally the murder of King Duncan.
This brings into play questions of right and wrong and integrity and honour.
The purpose of memorising the quotes is to aid a deeper knowledge of the play so that when answering a question the student can move around the play with ease.
The quote is on the left-hand side of each card.
Prompts for discussion are on the right-hand side of each card.
The quotes also have relevance in the discussion of other themes, especially questions that explore the characterisation of Macbeth and plot development.

This 5th series of flashcards focuses on the characterisation of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
There are ‘quotes’ to explore cards for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth who are the lead characters of the play. The final card summarises how the other characters interact.
These cards are valuable aids to helping students answer the part of the question where they are asked to relate their analysis of the given quote to other areas of the play
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are central. Act 1 introduces them both very forcefully, and then as the plot develops their characters evolve in opposite directions almost a reversal. The more the student gets to know the play the more obvious this characterisation movement becomes.
The quote is on the left hand side of each card.
Prompts for discussion are on the right hand side of each card.
The set also includes a breakdown of other characters in Macbeth.
