This site is the home for my classroom resources — unit plans, task sheets, slide decks and study guides for Years 7–12 English and Literature — together with the interactive tools I build to support close reading, revision and oratory.
It serves two purposes. First, it is a living resource my students can rely on: everything is organised by course and text, and always available. Second, it is a workshop — a place where I continue to develop and refine interactive applications, some of which may grow into standalone products in their own right.
