Mr M's English Resources

My resources are tried and tested in the classroom; I have found that they provide both challenge and enjoyment for the pupils whom I have taught, as well as those I currently teach. Having taught for a number of years - both in the UK and internationally - I know that it can be difficult to teach from a resource that you haven't created. That's why I make my resources comprehensive and as easy to follow as possible. Thanks, Mr M
