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.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Homework Menu KS4

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Homework Menu KS4

(0)
To engage students I created a Nando's style homework menu. This one targets key stage 4 and assists teaching of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. 19th century text often studied for GCSE. There are 25 homework tasks already planned, differentiated by 'spice'. Since using these menus, where the students pick for themselves, the amount and quality of homework has improved in my classes, as well as regularity.

EDUQAAS language component 1 and 2 lessons

(0)
A powerpoint, including useful revision cards reminding students how to answer each question of Component 1, alongside a 'practice the skills' lesson for each question using extracts from James and the Giant Peach, as well as a lesson on Component 2, using Bill Bryson and Rudyard Kipling for the 20th and 19th century non fiction respectively. In addition to the powerpoint there is an entire component 2 exam style paper that can be completed, that runs alongside the powerpoint. Very useful in helping the students understand the exam expectations.

P4C - Philosophy for children - lesson on gender equality

(0)
A fun, interactive P4C lesson discussing the issue of gender equality. Included in the pack is a workbooklet with a Do Now activity to encourage own opinion, two resources (including one more challenging article for top sets/stretch and challenge) and discussion points. This will help students analyse non fiction texts whilst forming their own opinion and justifying it. Great lesson to link to sexism in literature and film, as well as considering the working world and society around them.

P4C - philsophy for children - lesson on tolerance

(0)
An active, interesting and engaging lesson discussing what tolerance is and considering society. Can be used alongside a range of texts that tackle issues with diversity such as Othello, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, The Hunger Games, Noughts and Crosses... Great for team work, speaking and listening, reasoning and justification skills.
