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.

Eduqas English Language Narrative creation Planning and Revision sheet

(1)
An A3 document that talks students through some key devices and technique to use throughout their written narrative to help them gain top marks. Students are given a list of useful devices, as well as a definition and an example. Students then can either pick out the devices used in any drafts or ideas, or come up with key examples that can be woven into any narrative they can write in their exam. Students are also given a useful 'Story Opener' guide, talking them through 7 popular ways to begin a short story, what benefits it has and an example. This sheet was useful for lower ability sets who struggle to embed creative writing devices within their work as it gave them some key sentences that they could use.

Emoji Story Starter Cards for Creative Writing

(0)
A fun way to engage students in creative writing and story telling. This tool can be used for both Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. It is also very accessible for SEN students in lower KS4. Using these cards, students are given a story task. They need to use all six of their emoji's within their story, and can even cut out their stickers to use within their writing. A really fun exercise for students and something that stops the 'writers block' that young people often suffer.
