This AQA English Language Speaking and Listening resource contains 5 lessons along with resources and assessment criteria. The lessons all include interesting and inspirational speeches as well as tips and tricks for presentation. I have tried to make it quite humorous to engage those tricky students and provide plenty of opportunity for discussion, group work and independent work. Updated- New added hyperlinks document for those who can’t view embedded videos.
This resource contains three employability sessions aimed at Year 10 students in secondary school through to Year 12 students embarking on Further Education. With the introduction of the up and coming T-Levels in 2020, schools and colleges now need to prepare our young people for the world and work more than ever before and so these sessions aim to best prepare students. Session one “Getting work ready" is to highlight a students skill set, strengths and weaknesses and what a placement will consist of to develop weaker skill sets. Session two “Finding a placement” is designed to help students approach employers and how to search for placements. Session three “Placement expectations” shows students typical attitudes and behaviours employers like to see displayed, how to dress appropriately and what to do if things go wrong.
We all have those tricky students that are in and out of lessons due to bad behaviour. This booklet allows students in isolation to catch up with schemes of learning independently and effectively. Complete with a contents page for a range of schemes of learning and is easily accessible for a range of learners. These booklets are also available for every year group. See below for the full list of schemes covered for year 9:

Of Mice and Men
Romeo and Juliet KS3

This resource contains 5 skills tutorials in order to prepare students who are due to go out on work experience. The first lesson “Why is work experience so important?” allows students to understand the need for work experience and the benefits it will create. Lesson 2 “Finding out what I want to do” allows students to explore their interests (and even find out what they are!), alongside a range of different career options. Lesson 3 “How to approach businesses and employers” shows students the best way to contact businesses to arrange their own work experience placement. This includes template emails and how to make their emails appealing. Lesson 4 “First day jitters” prepares students for their placements with what to wear, what to take with them, how to prepare the night before, and finally Lesson 5 “Using your experience for the future” allows students to reflect on their work placement and add their newly acquired skills to their CV.
Complete with a range of activities and worksheets for students to use, these lessons will ensure your students go out to work experience fully prepared.
This resource contains a detailed writing frame for students to follow whilst practicing a typical GCSE style question. Complete with graded frames from 4-7 to guide students into making progress into higher levels and specific quotes from all the main characters in An Inspector Calls, to further support their answers.
