A set of Geography alphabet copying masters for specialist Geography rooms, designed to contribute to the literacy impact of the environment and add visual stimulus by displaying essential vocabulary in an attractive and easily absorbed format. The alphabet supports developing literacy skills for ages 8 to 16 by matching vocabulary with appropriate graphics for easier interpretation of words. A complete alphabet is usually placed in order around the room to aid alphabetic sequencing and to act as visual aids for the teacher, but they could also be used as flash cards. The complete set consists of forty-two black and white A4 masters with clear line drawings. The extra letter posters above twenty-six give alternative words for some letters in order to allow the display to be tailored to the age group or teaching topic. Each letter poster is designed for copying and then hand colouring by pupils to increase their sense of ownership of the words before laminating or mounting on card for display. Alternatively, posters can be put into A4 plastic folders fixed to notice boards to make them easy to change and keep children's attention on them from one lesson to the next. The specially designed Sassoon font is used throughout to support and link to handwriting development for younger pupils and to maintain clarity.

Students are presented with a range of 14 different sources, both primary and secondary, and are asked to cross examine their validity and draw their own conclusions as to the existence of ghosts. The Borley Mystery is accessible to all ability levels and contains 14 photocopiable pages, plus teachers' pages which include a mark scheme. There is also a web site to assist pupils in their quest.

OFSTED want to see more evidence of effective teaching and learning in schools. There are many ways to achieve this but the following Framework provides the means of developing teaching and learning, improving the standards of teaching and learning within your school, and achieving success in the eyes of OFSTED via good practice. The Formative Assessment Learning Framework provides a comprehensive means of differentiation, peer, and self-assessment for popular modules covered in Key Stage 3 History. Teachers will have the opportunity to implement peer, and self-assessment, and differentiation at any point enriching standards of teaching and learning at Key Stage 3. The Framework provides differentiated expectations tables, peer and self-assessment grids and detailed guidelines for popular modules covered at Key Stage 3. These include World War I and II, the Assassination of JFK, the Making of the UK, Expansion, Trade and Industry, Medieval Realms, An Introduction to History, the Romans, and Black Peoples of the Americas. All are deconstructed to provide students the opportunity for peer, and self-assessment at three different, differentiated levels of learning. Expectations tables are provided to guide teachers through every module, effectively providing a differentiated scheme of objectives. Detailed guidance discusses how the Framework can be modified to suit your needs within the department. The expectations tables also provide teachers with the opportunity to implement new modules if they wish.
