Welcome to Teachit's library of English teaching resources

Welcome back. This term we're hoping to provide oodles of support to help you teach the new GCSEs. For example...

Controlled assessment wiki-wall

What to do about controlled assessment? Rather than publish another fistful of resources on Macbeth, creative writing etc, we thought we'd start something new!

Our wiki-wall is a place for you to share your ideas and approaches for each new task and gather inspiration from others. You can add suggestions, offer comments and of course browse other people's ideas. The wonderful thing about wikis ...

... is that wikis are wonderful things.

Be a wiki-wall pioneer! We'll send a £5 book token to the first person to post a task suggestion in each section. We're also offering a £50 Amazon voucher for the best suggestion posted before the end of September.
