A literacy lesson for Key Stage 3 in which pupils practise their use of full stops. This will test pupils prior knowledge of full stops and how to recognise and use them within creative writing. Resource attached.

A lesson which combines literacy and Religious Education. Reading and analysing a miracle story, considering which types of words are used and how this impacts on our reading and understanding of the story.

Attached is a short booklet/task in which pupils are required to comment on the use of key language and devices used by Conrad for specific effect. They are also required to comment on the impact this quote has on the reader. I found this excellent revision for my A level pupils when completing the reading of the prose.

A PPT and activity that aids writing critically for GCSE English lit - AQA (but easily adaptable). In this lesson pupils will use dominoes based on CC to consider links between key ideas in the novella. They need to debate and argue how their links work. There are 4 clean dominoes for pupils to put extra ideas in too, as a challenge. Then they use this as a stimulus to write a critical commentary on the novella, using new ideas they may not have thought about before. Pupils really enjoyed this! Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions!

Used with Year 12 AS Level, Edexcel A Level Literature. This is an introductory lesson to the novel, discussing and working towards a timeline of Conrad's life and influences and also how Conrad uses the technique of an intrusive narrator and how this is used within the novel. This discussion/work should influence their reading in regards to Conrad's writing style.

Based on the look, say, cover, write, check system, this booklet is Term one 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 first six weeks of this terms booklet, in order for your print the weeks' spellings out and give them to pupils a week before their test. They are fairly easy to create following on from week six. 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!)
