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. :)

BTEC Creative Digital Media Intro Part 2

(7)
The second part of resources created for the new (2013) BTEC Creative Digital Media course. Included here are some assignment briefs and feedback forms - these are not formal assessments, as this unit is assessed externally, but they do work well as an introduction to working to a brief.

KS3 Stone Cold SOW

(75)
Some lessons (PPTs) and resources that I use to teach Stone Cold to KS3 groups. Not all of the resources are originally mine, but I did make all of the PPTs. Apologies for any errors you may find -- I don't catch all my mistakes!

The lessons here are part of an introductory unit to the new Eduqas GCSE English Language course. Most of the lessons are based on material found within the WJEC Eduqas GCSE Book 1 English Language. They are meant to compliment the text and guidance given by Eduqas.
KS3 Post-1914 Play (Dracula)
krista_carsonkrista_carson

KS3 Post-1914 Play (Dracula)

(22)
The following are PPTs and worksheets I've created or found to use as part of a unit of study using a Post-1914 play. The play I&'ve used (with great success for two years now) is David Calcutt&';s adaptation of Dracula. The assessed piece of work at my school requires pupils to write their own gothic story, but I've also included another simple task that I found online awhile back (creating a Vampire Hunter guidebook), that may be more suitable for lower ability groups. Feel free to adapt and edit the work here; it&'s a good start, but it is by no means perfect :) Happy teaching!

Year 7 Refugee Boy SOW

(17)
SOW created using a mish-mash of resources found online. Students build skills in writing using quotes as well as developing their ideas based on those presented in a text. Final assessment asks students to explain how sympathy is built towards a character within an extract.
Year 7 Journey Through Time Sci-Fi literature SOW
krista_carsonkrista_carson

Year 7 Journey Through Time Sci-Fi literature SOW

(13)
I can not claim credit for the SOW itself, but the PPTs have all been created by myself to fit into the SOW found here. Videos are obviously not included (Back to the Future 2, The Time Machine, The Sound of Thunder, and an episode of the Simpsons are needed for the unit). Focus of the unit is to introduce students to the genre of sci-fi (specifically time travel). Formal assessment is on how and why Wells desribes the living conditions of the Eloi in The Time Machine (historical context links)
Year 7 Dystopian Fiction Unit

Year 7 Dystopian Fiction Unit

(3)
A whole scheme of work of KS3 teaching of a variety of dystopian fiction texts. Some of the larger texts are missing from the resources, for copyright purposes, but are readily available elsewhere. All lessons are aimed at levels 5, 6 and 7 reading skills.

Shakespeare's Macbeth Coursework SoW Powerpoints

(53)
Powerpoint Presentations to aid in teaching Macbeth to GCSE students. Complete lessons introducing themes and analysis of the play. Please feel free to use and adapt. Unfortunately I created them using Windows 7, so the powerpoints may not be accessable to all. If you'd like to see them, do send me a message and I can convert and e-mail.
Private Peaceful Resources Part 1
krista_carsonkrista_carson

Private Peaceful Resources Part 1

(48)
The first 8 lessons for a unit on Private Peaceful. I found the SOW online,adapted it slightly, and created PPTs to accompany the scheme, so I cannot take full credit for each individual lesson. It worked quite well with my top set year 8 group, and they really enjoyed our study of the novel. Final assessment for my group was a Speaking and Listening task, but it could easily be adapted to include a writing assessment, or you could create your own.
Never Let Me Go Literature Circles SOW Pt 1
krista_carsonkrista_carson

Never Let Me Go Literature Circles SOW Pt 1

(27)
I've adapted a Literature Circle task to aid in the study of Never Let Me Go, which I plan to use next year with my top set year 11 group. I've also included the lessons I plan to use to go through the chapters of the novel - reading is done outside of lesson, so you may find that you go through each 'lesson' PPT at a faster rate than one per lesson, so don't be scared off by amount of 'lessons'!
Private Peaceful Scheme of Work Resources
krista_carsonkrista_carson

Private Peaceful Scheme of Work Resources

(21)
Part 2: The last 7 lessons for a unit on Private Peaceful. Scheme of Work with Powerpoint Presentations for each lesson. Final assessment was a Speaking and Listening task, but it could easily be adapted to include a writing assessment. There is one electronic resource missing here, as I did not scan the second text. You'll need a copy of &'All Quiet on the Western Front&'; - I took a section of the text, in which the narrator describes a gas attack.
