THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF

Updated - 26th May 2009

Welcome to my wonderful world of english resources,
a place where you can find many useful guides and activities to engage your classes.

My name is Bernadette Sheedy. I am an English, Literacy, Creative Writing,
and Media teacher in Melbourne, Australia.

I am also the Gifted and Talented Coordinator at my school.

'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.
