Here are 9 mini booklets for ACC, AIC and Macbeth. Each is based on a different theme & follows the same format, ending in an exam question which can be easily adapted depending on spec. Suitable for live/independent work. Use/chuck/change! @Team_English1
Here’s a scaffolded ‘A Christmas Carol’ intervention booklet for students who struggle with single word analysis. It’s based on @Xris32’s ‘words, words, words’ idea and ‘what does a writer want/need’ blog. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! dropbox.com/s/dbbgv3dnfznz…@Team_English1
I’ve spent today making a ‘key extract’ booklet for ‘A Christmas Carol’, designed for those students who struggle to read the text more than once. Sharing in case it’s useful to others. PDF & editable Word versions included. Help yourselves! @Team_English1dropbox.com/sh/mi8qpy583dr…
Apparently Word decides to freeze if I go beyond a certain number of pages so here’s Part 1 of a ‘remote learning’ booklet I’ve spent the day making for GCSE Literature to be used in the event of a school closure. Use/chuck as you see fit! @Team_English1dropbox.com/s/lwmb1pp2jgz7…
I caved and made a PART 3 of my
‘Remote Learning’ booklet for KS4. This one focuses on ‘MACBETH’ and includes retrieval practice, dual coding, academic reading, essay prep and practice and answers so students can self mark. Help yourselves! @Team_English1dropbox.com/s/i00bxn3ytano…
NEW ‘Key Extract’ booklet for ‘Macbeth’, designed for those who will struggle to reread the entire play. Contains a range of activities to accompany each extract. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1dropbox.com/sh/rcnb4hdlh0r…
I had a delivery at work today from someone anonymous containing a gift and this note. I wouldn’t usually post about things like this on Twitter but whoever you are, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Beginning to hope that my GCSE students aren’t watching #AChristmasCarol on BBC 1. I might get a ‘This doesn’t happen in the book’ stamp to save me time when marking essays. @Team_English1
The ACC resource I shared yesterday seemed to go down well so thought I’d finish this one too. 100 recall questions for ‘An Inspector Calls’ in a 10x10 grid. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1dropbox.com/s/s26wfvmfnq55…
AQA Language P1 revision booklets made for remote learning. These have taken a while but I’m hoping they’ll be useful. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! Q5 booklet will be added shortly. @Team_English1
Made some small ‘Bitesize Academic Reading’ resources for ‘Macbeth’ to trial. The format is inspired by another resource on here but I can’t find the original author so shout if it’s you so I can credit! Use/change/ignore as you see fit. @Team_English1dropbox.com/sh/lrc36hw2rp7…
Here’s something I’ve been working on: a resource designed to help students consider Shakespeare’s ‘big ideas’. Will suit any year group/any play. Thanks to @Xris32 for the ‘Structural Choices’ activity. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1dropbox.com/sh/1lhafc7x2r0…
