English

Free KS3 interactive on changes in English!

Show your class how English has been influenced through the ages with our free interactive timeline!

From the Anglo-Saxon period right up to the present technological era, this timeline explores the key historical events which introduced new words into the English language.

What impact did the Viking invasion, the exploration of the New World, and colonization have on the English we speak today? Examples are provided of words we owe to these events and eras, and your students might come up with some of their own too!

Find the interactive on our English free stuff page.

Tackle key issues in a week

We understand that teachers want to keep developing and updating their professional knowledge, but we also appreciate that it is hard to fit this in alongside teaching, planning, marking and, ideally, enjoying some well-deserved down-time.
As busy professionals, when faced with a difficult problem, most teachers also prefer useful advice in the form of workable strategies they can try, rather than lengthy theoretical analyses of the issues.
Here at Critical Publishing we have been trying to get to grips with this problem and have talked to lots of teachers about the way you work and how we can help you to keep up to date in a manageable way. And we think we have come up with a solution!
We are delighted to announce a brand new series, Getting it Right in a Week, aimed at teachers in the classroom, and designed to help you and your colleagues to master key topics in 7 days.
These books are concise and accessible but still take a critical approach. They provide a straightforward, practical collection of suggestions and strategies that can be quickly studied, tried out and evaluated for their usefulness. Underpinning information is concisely presented as ‘A Spot of Theory’.
Designed to meet the immediate practical needs of experienced teachers and trainees alike, most titles in the series are suitable for all age phases and are available in paperback and Kindle editions. The first titles publish on 17 January 2017 and cover:
  • Behaviour Management
  • Lesson Planning
  • Mentoring
“I love the concept.  I think the ‘chapter-a-day’ approach is innovative and ideal – a manageable way for teachers to take charge of their own CPD.”
“these books will not only appeal to teachers buying them as individuals to develop their own practice, but also to those with responsibility for developing staff teams.”
You can learn more about this series on our website – just go to http://www.criticalpublishing.com/getting-it-right-in-a-week. If you click on the Behaviour Management title you will be able to download a free sample chapter.
And we are offering a special pre-publication offer of 3 books for the price of 2. Just add the discount code IAWL3F217 when you get to the checkout.
