In the Scottish curriculum students will do a personal/reflective piece of writing. This scheme has been created for this unit. But can be adapted between year groups (S2-S4/Year 9-11). Resources are attached. It focuses on creative writing, narrative hooks, using sensory language, reflecting on past events. Can be followed up with desert island discs (search for on TES) or a speaking and listening task such as This is Your Life. Can also adapt and use for non fiction writing with a focus on biographies and autobiographies.

Detailed and comprehensive Powerpoints in full colour, and resources for a scheme of work based on The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Includes a range of activities and tasks to enhance understanding and engagement with the play. PLEASE NOTE I GOT MY IDEAS FROM HGFLhttp://thegrid.org.uk/learning/english/ks3-4-5/ks3/shakespeare/index.shtml#tempest THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE RESOURCES TO GO WITH MOST OF THE POWERPOINTS I CREATED. HOPE IT HELPS!

This is a whole powerpoint for a speaking and listening scheme of work. It is sill a work in process so is missing a couple of resources but they would be very very simple to create! The scheme includes three assessments - a solo presentation, a group discussion and a listening task - with practice and modelled tasks. They will study purpose and audience, features of spoken language (some simplistic - need more for GCSE). The scheme also looks at the importance of these skills and aims at developing them throughout with shorter speaking tasks. It is easily adaptable to suit varying abilities. All the links to clips are included and if not visible are put as hyperlinks in images. This is pretty much ready to teach but would also be great steal ideas. I should also credit a teacher on here called MissR as I used a few of her lessons and ideas for this.
