IGNITE Grades 7 to 12 English
Classroom Resources
Everything below was built for real classrooms: the free material first, then the assessment packs and novel studies on Teachers Pay Teachers. The free material is free permanently, not as a trial. Everything here is built by a teacher, not a technology company. IGNITE sells no AI tools and never requires a paid one. Where an activity uses AI, it's one your school or district has already approved.

Free: The IGNITE Assignment Audit
Eight questions that find the least a student would have to think, with AI doing the rest, to earn full marks on your assignment, and name the one thing worth changing first. Four files arrive:
- 1The interactive AuditThe eight questions, scored for you. It names the level your assignment sits at and your weakest answers in the order worth fixing them.
- 2The Audit as six printable pagesThe same eight questions with tick boxes, the scoring bands, and one specific fix for every question. Print it and write on it.
- 3The IGNITE Framework posterThe six levels against Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, and the grade bands, on one page for a department wall or a classroom.
- 4The poster as vectorThe same poster for Canva or Illustrator. Scales to any size, so it prints cleanly at A3 or larger.
