2010 English Teaching Resources

2010 English Teaching Resources

This week we have been working on our website, trying to make your Teacher-of-English experience quicker, smoother and more user friendly.

We have added new pages (Contact us, About us, FAQs) to give users a better idea of who we are and what we do.

On the English teaching resources front we have a few projects on the go at the moment. Over the coming weeks new teaching resources will appear for An Inspector Calls, Macbeth, Nettles (Vernon Scannell) and Praise song for my mother (Grace Nichols). As we move ever closer to September we will be creating new resources to help teachers with the transition to the new curriculum as well as producing teaching materials for the old favourites. If you haven't checked out our English 2010 page, have a look to see what we have planned.

As the half term holiday comes to a close, why not take a look at some of our most popular teaching resources to help you through the next half term:

Teaching Resources: Romeo and Juliet scheme of work

Teaching Resources: Holes (Louis Sachar) scheme of work

Teaching Resources: English functional skills scheme of work

Teaching Resources: Non fiction & media texts scheme of work

Teaching Resources: Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck) scheme of work

Teaching Resources: Blood Brothers (Willy Russell) scheme of work

Teaching Resources: Stone Cold (Robert Swindells) scheme of work

These are our most popular teaching resources, hopefully you will find something to help you.

Until next week....

Thanks
