Eyewitness account - Of Mice and Men

(0)
This lesson is an end of a topic lesson based on the shooting of Lennie. Pupils will learn how to write an eyewitness account based on Of Mice and Men. I used an update to date issue as an example of an eyewitness account from the terrorist attack at the Bataclan theatre, Paris; this ensures pupils are using a modern resource but you can also discuss British Values. I used this with a top set year 9 (low achieving school) but it is easily adaptable. Includes Powerpoint and differentiated resource.

Spelling booklets - whole school - term two

(0)
Based on the look, say, cover, write, check system, this booklet is Term two of three which will take spellings tests throughout the entire academic year. Each week has a different topic and gives pupils three chances to check their spellings of each word. Also attached are the spelling slips for the 12 weeks of this terms booklet, in order for your print the weeks' spellings out and give them to pupils a week before their test. The booklet also allows you to easily keep track of scores with a big score counter in the corner and allows an observer to recognise whether you have awarded commendations/merits (whatever you use!)

Lady Macbeth change in persona assessment plan

(0)
This PEEL table plan is an easily adaptable resource. The assessment is based on the change we read in regards to Lady Macbeth's changes in her persona throughout Macbeth. The first page is the actual PEEL table, which you can differentiate to any extent you wish. The second page is a Lady Macbeth quotation page explaining her changes and key quotes that represent these changes - this allows pupils to recognise her changes easily and also select and comment on key quotes. The AO's link to Edexcel English Literature (9-1) and, again, can easily be adapted to your course.
