Thank you. I found the resource to be very helpful for my students. Being a new English B teacher, the task of teaching writing was a bit daunting. Every form has their own conventions, the letter, memo, news report etc. and it is crucial for teachers to be well-versed in them before they can guide the students. Such resources are insightful and a great help for facilitators for leading the learners!

I really love and appreciate every single task you present because it is very complete if that is possible. Comprehension, vocabulary, punctuation after analyzing the mentor text and the way it is structured and then writing the proposal, using the writing process and the sentence frame exercises, it is just beautiful. If our students do not get a high score using these exercises, I do not know what will. Again 5 stars for this workbook and I will give you more if I could.

Chris’ story is everyone’s story. The novel would take you to introspect and discern about your life even more. We only finished the three chapters since we just started the school year last month. However, I was surprised how my student was extremely moved with the beginning of the story. He was able to resonate with the main character’s thoughts about death and grieving. He even cried while he was making a comparison and contrast between the main character and himself. This session with my student was priceless for me because he has a condition - he has a spectrum disorder. And the fact that he was able to feel and be in touch with his emotions made me believe that this resource is indeed powerful.

The text types… they’re detailed and straightforward, which makes the material teacher-friendly, especially to new IB English B teachers like me. My students are able to have a clearer understanding of the different text types, not only on how to follow the conventions but also to find strategies on how to write effectively. Most importantly, I’m learning a lot from your resources, too. 😊

These are great packs. I cannot recommend these resources enough.

I have always struggled to make sense of the official English B text type requirements, as they seem to be very general and generic, providing relatively little framework to rely on. Here the materials prepared by Alan come to the rescue- they provide a solid model of the text type that is then dismantled to reveal the structure and examine the tone and style. not only that- the materials are also designed to engage students in reading comprehension, vocabulary and grammar work as well as speaking tasks that foster group work- hours and hours of ready lessons. What is a life saver are the detailed checklist accompanying each text type pack- highly recommended!

The Contented Being teaching resources have proven to be an invaluable asset in enhancing my students' language proficiency and writing ability. Not only do they effectively communicate the nuances of various text types, but they also adeptly embed essential skills such as analysis, synthesis, and interpretation. I highly recommend purchasing these resources to any English B SL or HL teacher.
