The Tempest Mark Sheet

This mark sheet is great for doing DIRT with your students on The Tempest. You can adapt it by changing the characters if necessary. It is a quick way of marking a baseline assessment. I usually print it on green paper so it stands out as marking in the exercise books.

Planning Sheet for PEE

So here is a new design to my planning sheets. This is one for comparison, but it is very adaptable. You can just use this one and change it. As usual it has the different sections for students to fill in with regards to PEE. On the back of this there is even a labelled map of how this sheet should be used, including some helpful structure sections and helpful words.

Writing to describe and build an image in the reader's mind

Writing to create an image in the reader's mind is always a difficult one for the students, so here is an introductory lesson that will help them to think about why and who they are writing for. It includes a success criteria and a clip (requires internet access) to help them create an extensive piece of descriptive writing, as well as a starter that should get their creative juices flowing. Happy Writing!

Descriptive Writing - Feeling Isolated and Alone

(1)
A nice little lesson to get your class thinking about how it feels to be alone. They should use the images and the movie clips to write down a range of adjectives. The students should then attempt to put their feelings of feeling alone into a descriptive paragraph.

Language Techniques - Tables and tasks

Well here is a little number to help your classes with those all important language devices for creative and persuasive writing. It will also help them learn all the language techniques ready for identifying them in novels and poems. In this pack there is a full table with the Language Teachniques, definitions and examples. The other two sheets are for the students to fill in during the lesson to help them build a work bank of these language techniques. I did this with my class and then set learning them for homework. They then were tested to see if they could spot examples of techniques and their meaning. Really simple, but beneficial resource.

A Christmas Carol - Introduction for Low Ability

(2)
We all have those classes who need that extra bit of guidance when it comes to PEE, and that need reminding of the key descriptive words in A Christmas Carol. Here we have a very basic lesson with a wordsearch and questions all on Stave One of A Christmas Carol. These could be used as two separate starters or just as a simple lesson to get the students remembering the key sections of Stave One. For very low ability.

Language Teachniques for Low Ability

Well here is a little number to help your classes with those all important language devices for creative and persuasive writing. It will also help them learn all the language techniques ready for identifying them in novels and poems. This one is different from my other worksheets as this one is for low ability. Extra help and fill in the blankets is used here to help those struggling with these techniques. In this pack there is a full table with the Language Teachniques, definitions and examples. The other two sheets are for the students to fill in during the lesson to help them build a work bank of these language techniques. As I said, there is extra help in these ones as opposed to the others I have uploaded. I did this with my class and then set learning them for homework. They then were tested to see if they could spot examples of techniques and their meaning. Really simple, but beneficial resource.
