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.

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.

An eight lesson scheme for narrative writing with all resources included. The scheme shows how you can differentiate for all learners and the tasks are based on the new specification (exams from 2017). This scheme is aimed at Y9 students to give them an introduction in how to write narratives.

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.

Six exam style tasks based on The Great Gatsby. Three of the tasks have been structured in the same way of Section A of the exam (Examine the view...), which allows these ones to be used early on in a scheme of work or set as homework. The other three assessments have been set up as Section C tasks, however the students are asked to compare Gatsby to one of the poems from the pre-1900 poetry anthology. This allows teachers to assess the knowledge of the class on both text types prior to starting exam practice.

This resource pack contains three Gothic extracts from students' work that can be used in a variety of ways. I've found that asking students to read them and then rank them, in order of the most effective, starts some excellent discussions. Also included are two sheets that they can stick in their books and refer to throughout the year. One encourages them to expand their use of sensory related vocabulary and the other reminds them of different techniques they could use in their writing.

This task shows students the impact of language and presentational features on the intended audience. The advert used has a lot to it, which makes it a good resource for a range of abilities.

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.
