A site to share my resources for secondary English teaching.
A quick powerpoint for my Year 11 to look at George Alagiah’s writing found in the Edexcel Anthology, section A. The lesson is a revision class and aimed to be used after initial study of the writing. My intention is to link the ideas of using the TRAPPERS mnemonic when wiring creatively to the act of analysing the writing of others.

Words, words, words... well said Hamlet! A little blog to go off on tangents within the worlds of history and literature that interest me. From the Tudors to Tom Hardy's Tess, or from the Wars of the Roses to Wuthering Heights, feel free to browse through my musings to pick up extra ideas and points for discussion!
