I love my job, and I love making interactive, bright and fun resources. I try to have interesting PowerPoints for every lesson, so the pupils like to pay attention.
Mostly Secondary English - but I sometimes create resources for other subjects too!

Mostly Secondary English - but I sometimes create resources for other subjects too!
Tried and tested! Here's how it works:
The animated PowerPoint has a slide for each step of this WHOLE LESSON plan!
The class decide between two debate questions (on the powerpoint slide). The class are split into two groups (for and against) and have to complete the 'debate plan sheet' in their groups.
One person is picked to be judge. I picked the person who normally causes disruptions and found giving this pupil a role helped to include them/control behaviour issues. The judge has the 'you have been chosen to be the judge' sheet which explains their rules. The judge also fills out the 'Judge Plan' sheet (so they are working whilst the rest of the class is too).
A truly lovely lesson - the class enjoyed it and so did I. Great to hear opinions being shared by all pupils. Great practice for GCSE writing to argue questions.
ks2/3 - pupils have to search for the information online and complete their fact file.
I do not own the pictures! All found online and any credit has not been cropped.
Pupils have to pretend one of them is a child, and one is parent. The child has to persuade their parents to let them to go to a party. Its tests persuasive techniques, whilst being a fun and interesting starter.
Oracy unit - 'Why my hero should win the Pride of Britain Award'
Lesson one:
Pupils should complete the 'My Hero' worksheet. They have to pick a famous person who they think is a hero. They have to complete this research sheet. PowerPoint includes
Lesson two:
Pupils will be learning how to use DAFOREST to write their speech. Includes a youtube video of a persuasive speech (which I do not own any rights to) A sample speech has been written. Pupils will have to find the techniques in the speech, and then write their own. A support sheet with MAT extensions and low-level sentence starters has also been attached. Please note, I do not own the emoji exit ticket as I found it on pinterest - cannot recommend it highly enough though!
Lesson three is not included - but it would be the pupils giving their presentations on why their heroes should win the class award. I would recommend then holding a vote on which speech was the most persuasive and that pupil should win a reward :)
A worksheet for pupils to easily review the books they have read. Can be used as a back to school task after a holiday, or as a class task after completing a book. Great for collecting ideas with creative writing
Three key characters (Curley's wife, Crooks, Lennie). Pupils have to pick 7 quotes from the selection provided, and explain what they tell us about these characters.
Can be given to pupils, or used by teachers as a resource. Table gives a definition for - proper noun, abstract noun, concrete noun, collective noun, verb, adverb, adjective, pronoun, proposition & conjunction. Includes examples.
Used common words such as said, big, small, looked, went, then etc!
Really pretty effective - I've printed them out with black background and created a gothic corner - looks fab!
Clip art from - http://cliparts.co/tombstone-clip-art
Pupils create a timeline from chapters 1 - 10 and recap the events of the books so far. Includes quiz to warm up, and post-it plenary. Tried and tested - pupils produced some lovely work.
A complete lesson power point. It includes asking some of the big questions and gets pupils to reflect on the event that has just happened.
Great worksheet and task included about Nicole and how the attack changes her right away in that chapter.
Tried & tested!
Pupils create this book review based on their favorite books. They should be encouraged to use iPads or computers to find quotes, etc.
Should last an entire lesson - it certainty did with my ones!
Print these cards out, laminate them, and every time someone finishes 5 minutes early they can complete a literacy task. Includes an instruction sheet to stick on the outside of whatever box it is put in.
