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.

P4C, Philosophy for Children, lesson on secrets and trust

An interesting and moving P4C lesson on secrets and trust, using an emotional article showing lots of notes other students have written about things they wish their teacher knew. A really engaging and informative lesson helping students consider philosophical issues whilst encouraging positive relationships with teachers and peers.

Eduqas component 2 19th and 21st century non fiction texts mock paper

(1)
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.

P4C, Philosophy for Children, lesson on Animal Rights, using SeaWorld

(0)
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'.
Literary Features Display

Literary Features Display

(0)
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.

Literary Hunger Games studying power in Macbeth

Literary Hunger Games studying power in Macbeth

(0)
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.
