This will be useful for: students to get through whole narrative quickly , learn key quotes and understand Scrooge's character. Designed for teachers very short on time. Great way for lower ability reluctant students to understand the text.
Totally self-contained work book to teach this novella- this work can be completed even if you don’t have the actual text and no other resources are needed.
Students work through a series of tasks which generates a GCSE essay which can then be typed up- great for teaching skills and revision. This is an ideal work book for weaker students at Key Stage 4, or for more able younger students. Also, fantastic if you are short on time.
Focus: How does Scrooge change throughout the novel?
Task One useful link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unKuZ2wlNdw I use the JIM CARREY film version to support this task: GREAT FILM TO USE AS MINUTES OF FILM LARGELY CORRESPOND WITH THE PAGE NUMBERS IN THE WORDSWORTH CLASSICS EDITION and this pack contains a guide to using the film with the book (including time and page references).

**Full pack** Everything you need to enable students to write a high quality piece of description using a film clip as stimulus.
You may wish to purchase the DVD of Bram Stoker's Dracula (it's a couple of pounds on Amazon). It is an 18 Certificate, but this particular clip is fine. This clip is also available on youtube, but is not fantastic quality:

WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER.
For NQT’s and anyone who wants to make their marking totally easy, focused, productive and user- friendly for both themselves and their students. Say goodbye to arduous pointless marking.
This resource contains 15 very detailed breakdowns of the requirements at each level for EACH of the individual assessment objectives for both paper 1 and paper 2 of the 2016 AQA GCSE English Language course.
These have been carefully designed so that you can just highlight students’ levels rather than laboriously annotate work thereby cutting down on both marking time, and stress.
The marking sheets can also be used for very productive self or peer assessment by students.
I have had excellent feedback from those who have used these resources thus far.
