A Kung Fu Panda inspired semi-colon activity sheet. This is made to be used in a creative way where students can perform where the semi-colon should be placed within a sentence.

The following resource allows students to explore in further detail the characters Macbeth, the Witches, Lady Macbeth and King Duncan. This would be an excellent resource to use before King Duncan is slain or straight afterwards. Can be used for high ability Key Stage Three and immediately for all ability types in Key Stage Four.

Here are two hand outs that I give my students to revise Macbeth. They are plain in nature so that students can annotate around them and explore different ideas attached to the themes and quotations. Ideal for Key Stage Four students and those that are self-efficient.

This resource is targetted to enable students to directly focus on a writers purpose for the text. There are three examples: the first being a blank copy to use for any text, the second is an example made for A Christmas Carol and the last is a match up for students based on A Christmas Carol.

This resource can be used amongst all age ranges and abilities. However, I tend to share this with Key Stage Four classes as a revision resource throughout their two years of studying for exams. The resource shares different literary techniques, the definition of the term and a blank space for students to create their own example.

This activity sheet is specifically examining Act 2, Scene 2 (the balcony scene) from Romeo and Juliet in further detail. It aims to explore the social and historical contexts surrounding the play, attitudes and expectations. Students must then use all this knowledge to answer the key question at the bottom of the sheet.

This cards are aimed to be printed off and laminated for students to use who struggle explaining/showing their emotions to other students and members of teaching staff. I highly recommend these to students who may have a Special Educational Need that could benefit from these.

This has been designed for lower ability classes and students who have additional needs to understand the expectations within a classroom setting. The statements explain what students should be aiming for and these are dual coded to stop any issues with accessibility. Ideally, these should be printed off and laminated to use for each lesson and students tick with a white board pen. Suited for both Key Stage Three and Four classes - with also the addition for Key Stage Two.

This booklet can be given to students that would like additional homework surrounding Paper 1&2 Question 5 for AQA English Language. The booklet runs through examples, techniques to be used and questions to answer.

This booklet contains the following: A grammar recall activity for each lesson. Comprehension questions for each chapter. Vocabulary/subject terminology booster activities. Creative writing/analytical writing activities to end each lesson. This would be suitable for any KS3 class - with a range of activities to choose from.
