Hello! I believe in making life easier for teachers, which is why I make my resources available on TES for free, or at a low cost. Most of my resources are full schemes of work, so when you make a purchase you're investing in entire units, not just one-off work sheets. Feedback is welcome! As I evolve in my teaching career, I hope to update my resources as well, so keep checking in. :)

This download contains the most recent version of my KS3 conflict poetry SOW. The poems themselves are not included, but they are very easy to find online, for free, or in older (and in some cases current) GCSE poetry anthologies. These lessons are suitable for any KS3 class, although I use them to familiarise students with GCSE skills re: poetry analysis and comparison.
The lessons included in this package have been used to teach to the new Eduqas GCSE Literature specification (first teaching autumn 2015). It includes whole lessons, worksheets, exemplar responses, a revision summary sheet and three potential mock exams. Could easily be adapted to suit legacy GCSE, but is best suited for the new specification.
This download contains all of the resources needed to teach a unit on key scenes from Romeo and Juliet. This resource does not study every scene of the play in detail. Instead, we focus on key scenes linked to persuasion and the development of the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. If you are studying the entire play, these resources would compliment a further study, and are suitable for KS3 classes - I would not recommend you use these resources for GCSE level classes.
A full scheme of work for teaching of Macbeth at KS3. Lessons are aimed at levels 4, 5 and 6 reading skills. The final assessment was on how Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to kill Duncan using a scene from the play.
This download contains an entire half-term’s worth of lessons for a unit on Travel Writing. It would be suitable for most KS3 classess, although I use it for Year 8. Most resources and examples mentioned in each lesson are provided, although if anything is missing, please do get in touch :)
This download contains a series of lessons linked to a reading of an abridged version of Oliver Twist. The outcome of this unit is not a reading assessment, but a writing assessment which encourages children to use vocabulary from the 19th century. As such, the unit starts with a focus on reading non-fiction texts from the 19th century, with a key focus on identifying ‘unfamiliar’ words and using them in writing. The lessons here end about half-way through completing reading of Oliver Twist (as this was not the main outcome of the unit), so if you’re looking for a full SOW on Oliver Twist, they may seem incomplete (we do carry on reading the rest of the text, but mostly for enjoyment/carrying on building our writing skills. I have not included these lessons as they are not linked to an outcome/assessment - I use this scheme of work in the final summer term). This resource is suitable for any KS3 class, and is pitched towards middle-lower ability students.
This download contains lessons for a complete study of Macbeth, for the Eduqas specification. I make extensive use of a visualiser in my lessons - a majority of many of these lessons are spent reading and annotating key scenes from the play. Included are some mock exam questions and exemplar responses to help guide students towards success for both the extract and essay questions of Litearture Component 1 (Shakespeare).
