The lesson introduces pupils to the structure of Section A of Paper 1 of the Edexcel English Language GCSE. It uses a challenging extract from Edgar Allan Poe's 'Ligeia'. The Word Document is set out in the style of the Sample Assessment Materials provided by the board. The PPT is designed to guide students through the examination question by question - what to do and when to do it. I have used this resource successfully with a top year 10 set and a middle-ability year 10 set and used it over three 1 hour lessons.
I am a qualified English teacher working in UK secondary state school education.
