New GCSE English Resources

Teacher-of-English.com are about to complete the poems from different cultures cluster one with the final piece of the jigsaw. Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes is the final English teaching powerpoint which completes the set. This alows us to turn our atention to poems from different cultures cluster two which should hit the site around September. Also in the pipeline is an Introduction to Drama Texts PPT, some shorts on Pathetic Fallacy and bigger resources for Blood Brothers, Of Mice & Men and An Inspector Calls.
As we near the end of the year we have experienced some slowing down but not as much as expected, things are still going really well and the site goes from strength to strength.
Hope everyone of you is well and looking forward to the holidays, I know I am. Until next time.....

English Teaching Resources

The burden of GCSE marking has made it difficult to get much time to do anything at the moment so the blog has been somewhat neglected but it is being updated.

This last couple of weeks Blessing Imtiaz Dharker was added to Teacher-of-English.com and the poems from other cultures pack moved up from 6 to 7, soon to be completed with Two Scavengers in a Truck before we get stuck into cluster 2.

Last month was another great month, top sellers were:

Poems from other cultures
Stone Cold
Writing to Describe
Limbo
Nothing's Changed
What were they like?
Fact and Opinion
Frankenstein

Despite the literature exam being done and dusted we are still getting requests for English Literature resources and are selling Death of a Naturalist, Patrolling Barnegat and On My First Sonne.

Well, better get back to the marking!

Bye!
