I love my job, and I love making interactive, bright and fun resources. I try to have interesting PowerPoints for every lesson, so the pupils like to pay attention.
Mostly Secondary English - but I sometimes create resources for other subjects too!

Introduction to the attack on pearl harbor print out - great activity to get the class in and settled. YouTube video clip from 'Simple History' (link included on worksheet, I don't not own the video, or take any credit for the video). Really useful task to see what pupils already know and get them interacting with videos!
Pupils create a timeline from chapters 1 - 10 and recap the events of the books so far. Includes quiz to warm up, and post-it plenary. Tried and tested - pupils produced some lovely work.
A complete lesson power point. It includes asking some of the big questions and gets pupils to reflect on the event that has just happened.
Great worksheet and task included about Nicole and how the attack changes her right away in that chapter.
Tried & tested!
complete lesson!
A creative writing task about being a mouse in a kitchen and escaping from a cat! Encourages use of the senses and adjectives! Includes an example paragraph (written by an English literature graduate), paragraph by paragraph plan for the pupils, super sentence starters and word bank. Complete lesson. KS2, KS3
Great show don't tell lesson for ks2 or ks3.
Includes PowerPoint, and two colourful worksheets. I have used these and they were really successful leading onto creative writing.
Pupils create this book review based on their favorite books. They should be encouraged to use iPads or computers to find quotes, etc.
Should last an entire lesson - it certainty did with my ones!
Tried and tested! Here's how it works:
The animated PowerPoint has a slide for each step of this WHOLE LESSON plan!
The class decide between two debate questions (on the powerpoint slide). The class are split into two groups (for and against) and have to complete the 'debate plan sheet' in their groups.
One person is picked to be judge. I picked the person who normally causes disruptions and found giving this pupil a role helped to include them/control behaviour issues. The judge has the 'you have been chosen to be the judge' sheet which explains their rules. The judge also fills out the 'Judge Plan' sheet (so they are working whilst the rest of the class is too).
A truly lovely lesson - the class enjoyed it and so did I. Great to hear opinions being shared by all pupils. Great practice for GCSE writing to argue questions.
A display for shakespeare’s tweet of the month. Includes all the tweets from Sept to July - as well as pictures/words needed. I have also uploaded a copy of my display to show what i have done with this resource.
Picture found on google.
A complete lesson booklet! Step by step so really good for independent work. Includes starter of watching a great speech on YouTube (link included - I do not own this video). Includes GCSE mock question for the task and example introduction and conclusions. Pupils should be using DAFOREST with this booklet. Includes space for own planning and plenary of 'top 5 golden tips'.
Three key characters (Curley's wife, Crooks, Lennie). Pupils have to pick 7 quotes from the selection provided, and explain what they tell us about these characters.
Used common words such as said, big, small, looked, went, then etc!
Really pretty effective - I've printed them out with black background and created a gothic corner - looks fab!

A colourful workbook to be given to your pupils! A workbook containing slow writing tables and writing spaces for pupils. Some are generic for you to set the ideas or for pupils to go to the back of the booklet and pick from the 'idea generator'. Some are set to specific work ideas. Great for MAT pupils who finish early, or to set for homework/classwork/supply etc. Colourful and really child friendly! 12 pages long.
I've used clip art from 'http://cliparts.co/' and all picture credit goes to them!
KS3, KS4.
A step by step guide of how to run blind date with a book! Pupils are given 'surprise' short stories, and have to read and review them! Includes a colourful and detailed 'story map' where pupils can review their short story. Pupils then can compare their short stories with other classmate's and this helps them to compare literature, whilst also getting them to think about what makes stories successful - great for creative writing! The short stories are super easy to find online, so this exercise can be tailored to many themes/genres!
Easy, clear, sentence type lesson. Includes a sheet to hand out and stick in books for future reference. KS3,4 & A-Level.
Great for whole class and group work. Mini whiteboards work well with this lesson. Slow writing really helps to engage the learnt skills.
Please see picture of my display! Includes everything you need. Download and you can just print as everything was correctly sized for the display I created.
All pictures of covers are simply off of google and some of the summaries are blurbs (depending on which book)
