I am an experienced teacher and currently Head of English and Media in a large secondary school. I am also an examiner for EDUQAS English Language GCSE. I have a range of resources available on TES. Some of my resources are quite old, from when I first started out, and I am currently working in my spare time to update my resources. There are a range of resources from displays, schemes of work, revision booklets, mock exam papers and lessons available.

A fun and engaging and thought provoking P4C lesson discussing pet ownership, with a simple article as stimulus. A good article to analyse for non-fiction text alongside novels as well. A great way to get students talking. The entire lesson is planned with resources, Learning Objectives and Success Criteria.

A P4C lesson discussing animal rights and morality, using an article about Tilikum the whale in SeaWorld and the documentary Blackfish.
