I have created a 'mock' component 2 paper using a 19th century advert for Cadbury's cocoa and a recent 21st century article commenting on Nesquik's advertising of it's chocolate milk. I have made this exam practice paper to help students get used to the style of exam, but used an easier text than usual to boost confidence. This is set out in the exact way Eduqas (formerly WJEC) has laid out it's specimen papers and is an incredibly useful tool when teaching students the correct way to answer each question. I have used these in conjunction with my Blood Brothers scheme of work, working with year 9 students in preparation for their GCSE course.

A 'mock' Eduqas component 1 paper created using an extract from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Styled in exactly the same fashion as the new Eduqas exam and a useful way to train students in answering questions correctly.

Planned lessons for the EDUQAS poetry anthology. Includes all poems in scheme as well as a powerpoint including 14 lessons already planned, as well as the template for the whole scheme.

A P4C lesson discussing animal rights and morality, using an article about Tilikum the whale in SeaWorld and the documentary Blackfish. A good way to have students discuss, justify and improve reasoning skills. A writer in role task is also included at the end of the lesson that can be used as an exit ticket, or homework, which encourages students to play 'devils advocate'.

A 95 slide display covering a range of literary features used within English - useful for both analysis of text, poetry, language, media and creative writing. A lot of the slides use Harry Potter, Macbeth and popular films to demonstrate what the feature is, as well as a simple explanation of what each device is. A nice way to decorate your English classroom.

A fun lesson where students practice their writing skills, creating a first person narrative set in a dystopian setting. The lesson has learning objectives and success criteria clearly laid out, as well as a complete lesson with all tasks and resources in the one powerpoint. Useful for both year 8, 9 and 10. Easily adaptable.

A useful PEE sheet to help students understand how to form PEE paragraphs. These shapes are easily cut and strung together to make hanging mobiles that can model work and decorate the classroom. Useful for English, History, Geography, P.E, R.E and many more.

An easily adaptable, easy to use template for the Million Pound Drop game for lessons at the end of term.

A printable revision card teaching students how to answer each question in the IGCSE Cambridge English Language exam

A fun Do Now activity where they need to work out who the famous person is.

A fun, engaging and interactive lesson using the system of a 'Hunger Games' to discuss power and strength within Macbeth. Students are given a character at random, and some basic information, they then need to argue and discuss who would win a literary Hunger Games. There are 'weapons' cards that can be collected from the cornucopia, as well as 'health boosts' for students who the teacher decides is most persuasive. Really engaging way to consider the themes of power, corruption, greed and strength within Macbeth. Especially successful with middle-low sets to encourage engagement.

Fun grammar Do Now tasks taken from Oatmeal and other websites, compiled into one handy powerpoint.
