IGNITE Free and Paid
Resources
Everything below was built for a real classroom and used in one. The free material is 100% free and stays that way.

The IGNITE Assignment Audit
Eight questions that find the lowest level at which a student could complete your assignment and still earn full marks. Six-page printable version, an interactive version that scores it for you, and the IGNITE Framework poster in editable PowerPoint and Vector.
The IGNITE Framework poster
The six levels against Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR and the grade bands, on one page for a department office wall. Included with the audit, and free to use in any school with attribution.
Classroom Resources
Assessment packs, process portfolios, rubrics, and novel study material for Grades 7 to 12, including To Kill a Mockingbird, The Chrysalids, The Hate U Give, Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. Each one is built on the framework: process weighted, in-class cognition required, and AI expectations stated.
Using the framework in your school
You're welcome to reproduce the framework and the poster for department use with attribution to IGNITE English Resources. If you're presenting it to colleagues or running professional development around it, I would be glad to hear about it. Feel free to reach out to me at igniteenglishresources@gmail.com.
