Teaching and Learning Resources

Below you will find my latest resources for Year 8, Year 9, Year 10 and Year11. Y12 and Y13 will follow soon! I do not normally Year 7 so I have only shared our departmental Sentence Builders but not other teaching resources as these would not be mine.  At the very bottom, for those teaching A Level, there's a IRP Schedule to help students to manage their individual work.

We do not use textbooks! We ditched them a long time ago, but we use audiofiles and resources at my own convenience from a combination of many, mainly the Viva and Mira series for both KS3 and KS4. Our listening and reading resources are taken, mainly, from these textbook files and Exampro. However, we also make many listening and reading resources ourselves, using our Sentence Builders. All our Sentence Builders are linked to Memrise courses for KS3 and Quizlet for KS4. All the resources shared are my own! Feel free to follow the links and download whatever is useful. 

Most of my resources are Smartboard Notebooks files, (sorry!). I do not use PowerPoint to teach so my sequence of lessons/resources are Smartboard Notebooks. The Notebook files will show the sequence of a whole string of lessons for a whole topic. 

At KS3, we teach only a topic per term, except in Y9 when we teach 4 topics within an academic year. We do 6 topics roughly in Y10 and 6 in Y11, finishing the syllabus by the end of February, that way, we dedicate around two months to do revision and prepare students for the oral exam.

On the topic of Media, we have traditionally studied, in depth, the film Voces Inocentes and the workbooks on the resources were taken from Rachel Hawkes resources, so those two PDF files are not my creation.  
We have decided to change the film choice to Coco this academic year, so a few resources on the film are shared but they are not fully completed.

    1. Hola, muchos de los documentos son de Smartboard notebook y si no tienes el programa en tu ordenador no los puedes bajar, lo siento no uso PowerPoint... ¿puedes abrir las carpetas?

    2. Hola, intenta abrir los documentos con un ordenador no desde el móvil. Al ser zipped documents/folders éstos no funcionan en móviles sino sólo en ordenadores.A mí me sale el mismo mensaje desde el móvil pero puedo acceder a ellos desde mi portátil.:)

  6. Hola Esmeralda, muchísimas gracias por compartir tu trabajo. He entrado en varios grupos pero no me deja acceder a las actividades cuando es un pdf, ¿sabes por qué? Por ejemplo, no puedo ver los sentence builders de Y7.

    Gracias x

  10. Ibu Esmerelda, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness in sharing your beautifully made and organised teaching & learning resourcs. They are lucky students and colleagues, indeed!! I have taken a look at your work & it has inspired me where to head for my Indonesian classes; both what I do and don't want to teach. I love your blog for its consistent inspiration & takeawayability. Thanks again, Kirsten
