This pack focuses on all the difficult aspects of each scene, Language, character and theme. Lots of demanding questions and certainly an ideal pack for revision.

Really handy and effective Act by Act revision resource, covering all the best and most important quotations for each stage of the play.

A full clear slideshow with tasks, getting students to zoom in on the language Richard uses in the play. You might like to then follow this work with my 'Shakespearean insults tournament' and 'Shakespearean grammar' resources, as students will then be more confident with the language and able to create arguments between Richard and his enemeies.

Ideal learning resource to help students consolidate their understanding of the poems. Contains differentiated questions, interesting contextual background information and a range of useful technical terminology. All fifteen anthology poems are covered in detail, making this an ideal purchase for revision sessions and for follow-up homework tasks, or for a takeaway resource pack for the students to work through as revision at home. That’s great value, as many resources charge several pounds for just one poem. It is a handy resource as the questions essentially revise key concepts with the students. The poetic terms can also form the basis of a useful revision test. The background of each poet, their contextual significance, focus work on key lines and useful ‘higher tier’ terms are all included. Each poem benefits from a series of probing study questions. Also included is a detailed glossary of poetic terminology, including less well known and more advanced terms,- ideal for helping your students gain sharper definition and precision in their poem analysis.

HUGE pack of FIVE DETAILED resources for you to choose from. Do all the scheme or just the key descriptive task with 4 supporting files. This is an ideal scheme of work and rich resource bundle for students of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ or, indeed, any other story which has a sequence set in forests or the wild outdoors. Also works great as a forest-themed stand-alone descriptive writing unit across KS3 and 4. The pack contains: What makes a good story?’ strips that students are invited to rank in order of importance out of 12. Helps them isolate the key ingredients of good writing. A PowerPoint slideshow summarising descriptve writing, with lots of useful technical terms and detailed examples to inspire them! The slideshow also explores other possible topics, using fairgrounds as examples, but this could be quickly adapted. A clear 2-sided task sheet inviting the students to imagine that, like Helena (or any other character you want!) - you too are stranded all alone in the enchanted forest. The sheet has a model opening paragraph to help get the students started. Lots of images to inspire them. A great little ‘forest story’ grid game, which you just print out in colour and laminate. This is used to do the paired creative ‘forest writing’ task and supports the PowerPoint, if you don;t have time for the students to make their own grids, as suggested in the slideshow! A handy vocabulary sheet with words and phrases for forests, darkness and light, covering adjectives, nouns, verbs, metaphors, similes, personification and symbolism. The sheet really helps them focus and broadens their expression.

Clear and varied presentation which engages the students and gives them clear facts and points on the playwright's life. The objectives are to give rhe students a historical overview, trigger questions from them, and to test them on on key facts at the end. It establishes a knowledge base for them.The slide with Elizabeth I's Armada portrait is very helpful as there are many images on the pairing that the students can talk about. Ask them: how is the painter of this picture portraying Elizabeth as a powerful queen? Expect lots of varied answers. The presentation is a good differentiator and triggers great classroom discussions whilst enabling the students to have a better grasp of Shakespeare's own life and contextual background. Ideal for any secondary age. I've used it at KS3, GCSE, IGCSE and A level. Bargain!

Contains: poetic terms knowledge checklist to use as a starter, the main lesson in PowerPoint, including questions and tasks, copy of the poem with some brief context included on the sheet and finally, a set of group work tasks. I created these for another lesson ob. It works well if you show the PowerPoint after you have assessed how many poetic terms the students know (see file for this) and before you get them to read the poem. The slides work as parts of the lesson with Q &A sections on them. Other resources offer students background info on St George and the dragon and on the painting. Overall, a high quality detailed lesson which makes for a great introduction to an enjoyable poem: everything's prepared and ready to go.

A slideshow with detailed definitions, examples, historical context and lots of good images. Ideal for anyone studying or teaching Jekyll and Hyde, Dracula, Frankenstein...any Gothic texts.

Useful and very detailed guide for writing this essay on a key character from the play.

Aimed at GCSE students, this pack of 23 of the 'most likely' scenes zooms in on the key contextual background, suggests key cross-scene links, analyses language, character, theme and also related out to wider contexts such as witchcraft, religion or treason. Basically, these are 23 key revision scenes with 8 mini essay revision notes on the first 8 speeches. Handy if you are sitting Monday's exam and haven't a clue where to start revision!

This works very well as a means of introducing creative writing. You print out as many copies as you need, trim, and ideally laminate. It can be used in conjunction with my 'descriptive and narrative writing' mega pack available in my shop, or as a stand alone. Give the students all 12 slips in a plastic envelope. Tell them to look at each and rank the 'ingredients' on each slip is order of most importance. It's great fun to do as the students start to realise that structure, clear plot and focus are vital. Also good to see them rearrange and reorder their rank order. Lots of follow ups for this - create their top ten 'things to avoid when writing a story', write a story which covers the 12 top elements to include...have fun!

This Is a very through and detailed learning pack which gives students a lot of background biographical detail on Hardy and works through a large amount of his poems. Full textual notes. It is ideal for A level or IB students. It is also great for extending GCSE students and is an equally good resource if you’re looking for unseen poems to do with your GCSE students in preparation for the Literature exams, as the Hardy poems have come up a lot at GCSE and are in easy to compare themes such as relationships, war and nature.

Great PowerPoint which guides students through a range of heroes and villains, then sets up a task where they have to write a short description of a character of their own. Included is a sample piece of creative writing; a description of a dastardly Gothic villain. Full of exciting images and ideal for younger kids. I've taught this to year 7-9, GCSE students as a fn starter, and even as an enrichment class to local schoolchildren from feeder primaries. It always works and is guaranteed to produce fun responses!

Useful way to get the students of the AQA anthology poems to think comparatively. The page enlarges up well to A3 size. I have had some amazing student responses to this, creating all sorts of clever links. They find it a good way to revise poetic terminology and like to revisit the grid to add in new ideas, especially in the final column. Obviously, in the real exam they have to choose one they know and compare to an unseen, but this activity enables them to start thinking comparatively.

Designed to give students a good overview of the historical Richard as well as Shakespeare's own exaggerated and distorted play version. The slides go through the key political details, explain who Richard was, then show students how Shakespeare adapted him for the stage. Clear and lots of targeted questions.

This is a range of resources on the news, news values and the way that media issues such as gender or violence affect the news. Some fun sample texts. You might also want to update with more recent news examples to go with the tasks.

Ideally, you enlarge this up to A3. Basically a pre made storyboard grid for the students to fill with their chosen images, text, camera angles and lighting ideas. There's room to add in text from the song in the grid along the bottom.
