Teaching is my true passion and I love making interesting, interactive resources. I'm a bit of a secondary generalist as I teach English (KS3 and IGCSE), Science (KS3 Science and GCSE Biology), KS3 Humanities and GCSE Environmental Management. I've also dabbled in primary school teaching in the past. As such, my shop is a varied mix of resources! Hope you enjoy looking around. I'm also a google certified educator so will be adding some blog posts and google based lesson ideas on here in time.

Born a Crime Part 1: Scheme of Work

Born a Crime Part 1: Scheme of Work

(1)
This Scheme of Work covers Part 1 of Trevor Noah’s autobiography: Born a Crime (The first 8 chapters). It includes tasks for each chapter, designed to cover reading and writing outcomes in a fun, engaging way. I did it with my mixed Grade 8/9 class over a few weeks but it can easily be adapted for older grades. This book is such a wonderful way to open up genuine, meaningful discussions about Apartheid and my class is really loving it so far. I have included vocabulary lists for each chapter. I’ve also taken some of the powerpoint slides and created classroom notes so that students don’t need to waste too much time writing them down. SOW’s for Part 2 and 3 will follow soon

Changes of State Simple Worksheet

(4)
A very simple, visual worksheet summarising the terminology used to describe changes of state. Students are asked to fill in 'heated' or 'cooled' to describe what has happened to a material to make it change state. Works well as a summary note for KS2 or early KS3

General Peer Evaluation Sheet for Speaking and Listening Task

(0)
I found many speaking task evaluation sheets on the web were too specific or difficult to format. Thus, I developed this general evaluation sheet. It is designed to give the student meaningful feedback that they can use to improve their speaking skills. It is also easy to modify to any task or theme. I hope you find it useful!

Born a Crime: Part 2 and 3

My full unit of work for Part 2 and 3 of Trevor Noah’s book: Born a Crime (Part 1 uploaded previously). I did this unit with my mixed Stage 8/9 class but it can easily be adapted for older learners. Again, there are activities for each chapter but less explanation as some of the activities require them to use skills already covered in the Part 1 Powerpoint. This unit includes an assessment comprehension task and a final, discursive essay task with 3 essays to choose from. I did not include notes on Discursive essay writing but there are lots of great resources on this already on TES. Hope you find this useful! My class really loved this book from start to finish and it opened up so many interesting conversations.

Speaking and Listening Tasks for ESL

6 Speaking and Listening tasks designed to be spread out over the course of a term. I designed this for my Stage 8 English class in Thailand where abilities ranged from a few words to almost fluent. Its a fun combination of games and presentations designed to get them speaking English in front of the class for variety of purposes. I have included a general rubric that can be easily adapted for each task. It is designed to give the student meaningful feedback that they can use to improve their speaking skills. I have also included a Forbes Article on Giving Good Speeches

Full Term study on Thailand. I developed this for my Stage 8 class as we are doing Thailand for the International Food Fair. I lived in Thailand for 2 years so most of the photos are mine and topics are based on my own experiences. My class really enjoyed this whole unit - they loved learning a bit of Thai and got really enthusiastic about the tasks! There are 9 topics in total and I have included worksheets/notes that cover everything on the Powerpoint so your students won’t need to write anything down. The Powerpoint is not heavy on text as I preferred to project images and diagrams and layer on detail in class discussion but there is more information on the worksheets. Most topics include a build in assessment task (Tasks on the PP and worksheets). The topics are: Introduction to Thailand Language and National Sport (Muay Thai) Festival and festival Culture Buddhism Climate and Weather Brief History of Modern Thailand Food Plants and Animals of Thailand End of Unit Quiz You can make it run longer or short depending on the ability of the class, how often you have Humanities and how much enrichment you add. For example, when we studied Muay Thai, we did a short Muay Thai class for fun. Feel free to email me at shellyschutte20@gmail.com if you want anymore information.
KS3 Science Revision and Self Assessment Booklets (Y7,8 and 9)

KS3 Science Revision and Self Assessment Booklets (Y7,8 and 9)

(0)
I made these booklets to guide my KS3 Science class through revising for their upcoming Progress Tests. There is one booklet for each Year group with the objectives drawn from the Cambridge KS3 Science curriculum. I have tried to make the objectives as succinct as possible and phrased them in the form of 'I can' statements. The booklets contain links to videos, interactive websites and simulations. I teach a multi-graded class (Year 7,8 and 9) so found these booklets particularly useful in helping stronger students to revise independently while I worked more closely with weaker students. For each topic, students must complete 1-2 tasks then rate themselves for each objective as red, amber or green. I suggested they use this to help establish what they need to go back and study further.

Observing Diffusion: Demonstration

(0)
Two very nice tasks to get students thinking about how particles move and interact during Diffusion. The first involves the teacher spraying air freshener and students drawing how the particles spread out. Task 2 involves leaving a gummy bear in water overnight and observing and recording any changes.

Ecosystems Powerpoint (+ Extended Task)

(0)
This is a Power Point explaining what an ecosystem is and examining the components of an ecosystem. I also developed a fun, formative assessment task for students to do following the lesson. It really got students thinking like ecologists and they had lots of fun! Developed for Y9 but can easily be adapted for older or younger students

Task was developed for my IGCSE Environmental Management Class. Students must imagine that they are farmers applying for a bank loan to purchase a piece of land - must justify why the piece of land is perfect for intended use based on geology and geomorphology of the landscape. Perfect for practical application of knowledge about the impact of soil on agriculture and how this can be manipulated. Cross curricular links with English and as students must use appropriate conventions for a formal letter. Students are also encouraged to include detailed plans/sketches of intended farm.

This is full guide to Type 1 diabetes that the organisation I belong to (YWD) produced specially for teachers. Very useful if you have a diabetic in your class or just want to find out more!
