I made this using some other people's resources as well. It is for my IGCSE coursework on argument writing

I made this for my year 10 students - hope you find it useful

Here is a resoursce for IGCSE (Edexcel) I changed this from one I found from someone else

I made this as a series of two lessons for year 10. Hope it is helpful

A very brief synopsis of Henry V by William Shakespeare, using images and simple language. Students make notes as you tell them the story. Perfect for SEN, visual learners, EAL, or younger groups.

This is part of the Cambridge IGCSE portforlio work on descriptive writing

I made this resource for year 10 IGCSE students doing the Edexcel IGCSE

This is a resource I made based on the film 'The Impossible&'. There is a clip you can use and pictures which are on the PPT but could also be printed for the students. There are some great moments in the film and students enjoyed describing the peace and tranquillity at the beginning of the film and then the drama of the Tsunami wave.

A comprehensive introduction to Shakespeare, Shakespearean History, and the plays of Shakespeare. Powerpoint and worksheets for this lesson are included.

I used this with a high ability year 8 group. I gave them different resources, such as paper, glue, googly eyes, lolly sticks, toilet rolls and silver foil. I also got them to create the interior of the room as described in the passage.

Year 11 revision for the AQA paper - highlighting language devices in Barak Obama's speech - particularly looking at persuasive language and personal pronouns

I made this as a way to teach persuasive writing. You can get the students to create a product and then sell it. You can be really creative with this and create a letter to Lord Sugar and a debate in the boardroom.

I made this to help students with writing to argue - it is an introductory lesson

I used this to look at the openings of a number of different Dickens novels and then use what they had learned to write their own. The example is mine. They can read the extracts in one lesson and then think about the ingredients of a Dickensian novel.

These are some of the broken-down resources I’ve made for my year 10s. These are for more low ability sets, but some of the tasks are a little more challenging.

These are the first two lessons of a scheme of work for year 9 on poetry. I will be selling the rest of the scheme for £2 for 18 more lessons with an anthology as well. The lessons are planned to engage students with poetry at the same time as teaching them key skills they’ll need for GCSE seen and unseen poetry. I have tried to use poems for imagery, language, structure and form, so that they can really develop their skills in discussing the different aspects of poetry. You could use the scheme for older and younger students as well and it could be used to teach unseen poetry to GCSE. This might not work if you are using the power and conflict poems for AQA as some of them are in the scheme. Please feel free to leave comments about the lessons I have uploaded.

I am using this with my high ability year 8 group. I am going to give them 15 minutes on each task. 5 minutes to read the extract and then 10 minutes to complete the activity. If you have lower ability students you could use some of the ideas and adapt them. I took these passages from someone else on TES - so thank you to that person.

I have included Power points and poems which should act as a stimulus for creative writing, particularly in poetry. Some of the poems were written by me, using the lessons as a starting point for my own writing. These could be used to discuss how people have used the stimulus material in their own writing.

Two A3 sides of character quotes. I have broken them down into different acts for each character and then put them into different categories if necessary. These are great revision resources and could be printed and then laminated and used as a classroom resource.

This is a resource, mainly for revision of A Christmas Carol, but could be used in a lesson as well. There are two A3 sheets with quotations for characters and themes. I have also attached copies of the resource in A4, in case this is more useful. I printed the sheets and laminated them for my classes and can use them all year round.
