FOR THE LOVE OF LITERATURE

Average Rating4.40
(based on 966 reviews)

I love creating resources and spend far too much time doing it. Currently teaching mostly A-level English Literature, but there are a range of free and paid resources for all ages. I believe in challenging students with a range of ambitious material, but also believe that this needs to be underpinned by explicit direction on HOW students can develop their ideas in written form. Write better... think better... think better...write better... and so on.

Doctor Faustus intro (OCR A level)

A number of introductory resources for Marlowe's Doctor Faustus. I taught this as part of the Year 13 OCR A level spec. I taught it as part of the F663 component for examination. The comparative text used was John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Non fiction- finding info and understanding how it is presented

Objectives: 1. To learn how to select relevant details from an extract and present them in a relevant way 2. To understand how texts present an impression or image of their subject Powerpoint should explain all but focuses on conflicting opinions of Bear Grylls- ‘survival’ expert so should be vaguely interesting for those apathetic students!

KS4 reading skills: inference and empathy

A powerpoint devoted to reading skills and developing personal responses with accompanying resources. Aim is to help students develop inference and empathy skills… good for welsh board candidates sitting an unseen text paper or just to help sharpen up reading skills in general..
