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 Christmas Carol Revision Guide

I have put together a revision guide for my set 4 class on A Christmas Carol, taking into consideration what has already been examined by Eduqas. It took me a really long time to create it, but the students have really found it useful so I thought I would share it. In the revision guide, I have included: A ‘how to write an analysis’ page with prompts for each part of a high level answer Some ‘one page revision sheets’ for key characters and themes (Scrooge, Fred, Bob and the Cratchits, The Poor, Family, Responsibility, The Ghosts). This one page revision sheet includes key ideas/vocab, key quotes, a timeline, key message and key context. Pages with key questions for Redemption, Christmas and Isolation (the quotes and information on other revision sheets are to be used to fill in blank templates for these themes) A summary page for each stave + a multiple choice quiz to consolidate learning I have made sure to use dual coding to further support understanding of theme.
