Welcome to my wonderful world of English resources.
This is a place where you can find many useful guides and activities to engage your classes.
I have been an English teacher for over twenty years. In that time, I have taught a range of novels, films and other units to my classes from years 7 through to year 12. My preference has always been to create my own resources based on the needs of my students and this is how the units of work listed below came about.
'I wish my students were engaging with the work!'
The purpose of this site is to provide resources for English teachers to assist in the teaching of texts in the classroom.
Although I am a high school teacher, some of the study guides I have written may also be useful for primary school teachers or teachers of students with special education needs.
There are guides to novels, as well as films and other works available through my site.
Please click on the links below to browse the guides that are available.
Alternatively, you can scroll through this page to browse the complete list from all categories.
These guides are practical tools you can use with your classes.
TO ORDER: Please email me and I will send you a PayPal invoice for the guide. When payment is received, I will email the guide to you as a PDF document.
