I found this interesting and useful last time I taught Jekyll and Hyde

Zooming in and out | David Didau: The Learning Spy
I often tell my pupils to picture the film in their head when they read as it usually helps them to understand better when they imagine themselves with cameras and think about where they would do a close up and where they would zoom out.
Then I came across this blog post which explains how to take that one step further to analyse and evaluate a text. Zooming in and out | David Didau: The Learning Spy
History podcasts
Well, we have a bonus post today. I usually post every 10 days, but I thought I’d squeeze a last one in before the end of the summer holidays.
I’m not a GCSE teacher so I can’t vouch for the quality of these podcasts, but you may find them useful.
The GCSE History Revision Podcast
The British History Podcast – this one isn’t a GCSE revision one, but it’s informative and entertaining for anyone with an interest in history. Warning: it contains explicit language, not all of which is bleeped out.
15 Minute History – this one isn’t GCSE specific either, but I enjoy listening to it. It sometimes has more of an American slant but they cover some interesting topics.
Geography podcasts
I’m not a GCSE teacher so I can’t vouch for the quality of these podcasts, but you may find them useful:
Science podcasts
I’m not a GCSE teacher, and I don’t even teach KS3 science – I love science but unfortunately it’s impossible to specialise in everything! – so I can’t vouch for the quality of any podcasts, but you may find them useful.
