This has been useful to me in getting students to focus on individual words within quotations. One example has been given, however you could complete other boxes within the grid to add another level of support. This could also be used for a revision task.

Lesson for Blake's London. This lesson uses groupings, with differentiated tasks, so students are encouraged to work independently from the teacher. This task is best suited to a more able group, however it can be broken down into two or more lessons for a less able group. A copy of the poem and a glossary is included with this resource. For the introductory task, students should fold a piece of paper until they have 16 squares. As each line of the poem is read to them, they should select one word that interests them. These words then need to be grouped to create semantic fields, which is the way I have used to get into this poem.

A scheme of learning that focuses on improving literacy. The scheme focuses on sentence structures, punctuation and vocabulary to match the stronger focus on SPaG in the new curriculum. This scheme is much more suited to LA/MA/intervention students rather than HA students. There are lots of visual cues to use as a springboard to writing and a quiz that ca be used at the start and the end of the scheme so that students can see the improvements they have made.

Suggested question structures and sentence stems for the new specification English Language papers. This resource can either be included in a revision booklet, glued into class books for students to refer to in class or be used to help scaffold and support student responses. It would also be useful for intervention, especially if the person running it is not a subject specialist. An outline, for students to refer to, is also included in this resource. It state how many marks each question is work and what the question will ask them to do. It is a straightforward resource, but it can be used in a range of situations and for a range of purposes.

Resources for Coraline SoW. Includes all powerpoints/worksheets referred to in the scheme, which is available separately. The PEE framework is referred to in this scheme and also the mnemonic AFOREST. There are some extracts which need resourcing separately such as the poems Jabberwocky, Nettles and Praise Song for my Mother. As well as this, you will need the opening to Rebecca, Kit's Wilderness, extracts from I am Legend and Old Major's Speech from Animal Farm.

A descriptive writing task based on a scene from Atonement. There is also a resource which could be stuck into exercise books to support students in varying their sentence openings in descriptive writing. A handout has also been provided to show students the different types of sentenecs and how they can use them in their descriptive writing. It would be best used in supporting students to learn the skills required for the new GCSE specification. It can be used as a stand alone lesson, embedded within a scheme or as a cover lesson. All of the instructions are on the activity sheet along with an image to act as a springboard for their response.

Mother, any distance covered in small chunks. This resource is best suited to a lower ability class as the demands are increased throughout the powerpoint. There are short clear tasks that ask them to identify textual evidence, but also some tasks where they can begin to develop their own perspective on the poem rather than 'repeat what they have been told'. The content provided can be covered in one lesson, if you are struggling for time, but it is also clear enough for any uncompleted tasks to be set for homework by printing out the slide required.

Practice questions that have been structured like the exam on Othello. There are six in total, which can be dropped in to schemes of work, used as homework tasks or as assessments. They look at various acts so are flexible to all schemes.

This resource collection contains extracts from well known texts and encourage students to think carefully about their vocabulary choices. These resources are quite flexible so can be dropped into various existing schemes.

Five practice exam questions for A Christmas Carol. A range of themes have been covered in these questions such as social injustice, Christmas and redemption. These can be used for class assessments or even planning practice.

Suitable for low to mid ability students. This resource aims to helps students increase the level of detail in their descriptive/narrative writing - suitable for KS3 (mid to higher ability) and KS4 (low to mid ability). One lesson so would also be suitable for interventions.

Thirteen narrative/descriptive tasks that could be easily dropped into a current scheme of work. They could also be used as stand alone activities/assessments/cover lessons or as homework tasks. All tasks have an image to help support learners.
