About this book

English teachers constantly have to think up new ways to engage their class. It's hard enough for teachers to fit all their marking, extra-curricular duties and training into their lives, let alone finding time to think up exciting new ways of introducing Dickens, or designing activities to bring Caribbean poetry to life. Resources for Teaching English 11-14 provides complete, curriculum-friendly lesson plans and student worksheets for busy secondary school teachers. This resource comprises an assortment of more than 70 lesson plans, each designed to motivate and inspire students and make the lesson go as smoothly and purposefully as possible. Each teacher's plan includes: · the aims and objectives of the lesson, · a lesson starter, main lesson plan and plenary, each with suggested timeframes to help teachers keep inside the parameters of the lesson, · homework ideas, and · tips for making it harder or easier for G&T or SEN students. Fully-photocopiable or downloadable student worksheets accompany each lesson plan

Identity crisis

Melissa Schorr

Who does she think she is? Annalise's audacious freshman-year hookup with Cooper Franklin has a trio of friends thirsting for revenge. So they catfish Annalise by creating the perfect virtual guy, with Noelle playing along reluctantly only because her lifelong crush, Cooper, is in love with Annalise. As Annalise falls for it, even buying tickets for the concert of the year for her and her mythical new guy, Noelle feels more and more guilty. Then, the whole thing blows up and Annalise faces her betrayers. But when Annalise forgives, the reunited friends learn that adults--even famous adults--can be even more bogus than teenagers.

The Snurtch

words by Sean Ferrell

"Ruthie has a problem at school. It is the Snurtch. The Snurtch is a scribbly, grabby, rude monster who follows Ruthie around and gets her into all sorts of trouble. It seems Ruthie will never be rid of the Snurtch. But eventually, she realizes she's not the only one ... George has one too"--

Durango Street

[by] Frank Bonham

When Rufus Henry gets out of work camp for grand theft auto, he has only one place to go -- back to Durango Street. Sure, he'd like to keep a steady job and obey his parole officer, but there's no way to do that when the Gassers are chasing him. Rufus doesn't have a choice: he joins the rivals Moors. With a gang to back him up, he'll be all right on Durango -- for a while. But when the Gassers catch up to them, will he end up dead?

Me and my feelings

Robert Guarino

"In straightforward language, it teaches middle & high school students about identifying emotions and offers concrete ways to manage them. Guarino's text speaks to kids, but Jeff Jackson's engaging illustrations make the book sing and give it the feel of a graphic novel."--Amazon.com. "Readers will learn the difference between the five primary emotions -- anger, fear, sadness, happiness, and disgust -- and secondary emotions such as pride, envy, contempt, and jealousy. They'll find out how to interpret emotions, and also discover strategies for managing them. Illustrative quotes from real-life teens, as well as simple activities the reader can do to relate to the concepts presented, make Me and My Feelings come alive for young people. Also included are suggested activities for teachers to use in the classroom. Me and My Feelings can be used to supplement a high school psychology course, or as a stand-alone unit in grades 8 through 12"--Publisher's description.
