This is from a series of posters I created as a way to revise the characters from Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman. This poster is of Harrison’s spiritual guide, The Pigeon.
A5 prints make for ideal individual student booklets, while A4 is good for general classroom use. If displaying, they can be effective when printed in A3.
As well as display, the posters can be used as a task for students, asking them to link each quote or comment to a theme. Alternatively, students can expand on the given quote by explaining the significance of each character trait. Another common use is to inspire students to create their own posters for other characters or texts.
There are thirteen characters available in this particular series: Harrison; Lydia; Mamma; Auntie Sonia; Julius; Miquita; Killa; X-Fire; Jordan; Dean; Poppy; The Dead Boy and The Pigeon. Buying the bundle is the best value and this can be easily found in my TES shop, accessed by clicking on my picture or on the name ‘wez cartoons’.
Other series available:
An Inspector Calls
A Christmas Carol
Macbeth
Romeo and Juliet
The Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Frankenstein
Blood Brothers
Animal Farm coming soon…

This is a Powerpoint presentation on two poems, encouraging practice in analysing unseen poetry for GCSE. I used it with a top set Y9 group who were interested in the general election. It won't work with everyone, and it does require some understanding of the context. The emphasis is on commenting on Theme, Language, Form and Tone and comparing these four sections.
The mnemonic used is Turn Left For Tanhouse, because of the local area, but this can easily be changed to 'Town' for more general use.
Also included are two Word documents with the poems on, which can serve as handouts for the students to annotate.
I created this for the revision of Frankenstein at GCSE level. This is a multiple round team quiz. It can be given to individuals but it works better with teams because it encourages them to discuss the myriad of potential answers.
Each slide has the answers in its notes. Some rounds (such as the picture and music ones) have answers which are not so definitive. If a student gives a different answer and can justify why they have chosen it, allow them the point, as this is where the revision is happening.
I tend to do a round and then ask them to swap papers for marking. This means you can keep a running total for each team and make it more competitive.
For the music round, I access Youtube. If your school does not allow you access, I recommend downloading the tracks and making a playlist on your phone or laptop.
The objects round is optional. Prior to the quiz lesson, you can set a homework task - students must choose an object that symbolises one of the characters and be prepared to give their reasons why. If they do the task well and there is a decent range of different characters, it will work as a round. Alternatively, they could be like my class where every single member 'forgot' to do their homework...
I have a similar quiz for Romeo and Juliet, so please look at my other resources.

Lesson based around designing a video game for Coraline, improving on the existing game. Deals with audience and purpose, as well as colour connotations.
This was aimed at able Y9s, but would suit a wide range of pupil abilities. The PowerPoint features the images required for the starter. Pupils were reading 'Al Capone Does My Shirts' at the time.
Fourth lesson (no Ppt this time - apostrophe starter used a copyrighted Ppt, so can't include...sorry).
Will include more lessons once I've planned them!
Complete set of ready to use lesson resources introducing Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Perfect for SEN and EAL students.
Low ability Y10s. Second lesson intended to introduce the pupils to the Philip Pullman playscript. Leads to the essay question 'Who is the Real Monster in Frankenstein?' as posted by another TES member. Some slides from this Ppt have been adapted from existing TES resources.
This was initially delivered to a middle ability Y10 class who had studied Romeo and Juliet as part of their Literature course. You don't have to have done Romeo and Juliet, but my using the picture of Juliet in the crypt meant that it served as a little revision exercise too. Similarly, the lesson makes reference to a piece of descriptive writing the class had completed on Frankenstein - you can easily alter this to refer back to something you have done.
The lesson refers specifically to assessment objectives and encourages variety in vocabulary choices and sentence openings.
It was supposed to be for a 75 minute lesson but I found it could easily cover two one hour lessons.
Please take a look at some of my other resources - I tend to put lesson plans on as free downloads and my quizzes and posters at low prices.
If you download anything I'd be grateful if you could leave a review.
