AQA English Language 9-1 Paper 1 Section A Revision Unit 2019 FREE

This mini unit contains five lessons of preparation for the English Language GCSE examination 9-1 Paper 1 Section A.

The PowerPoint contains all five lessons, divided by a -five-a-day starter activity based on questions on the four texts my class have studied for literature, plus one English Language question. These can all be adapted to match the units you are teaching and provide ongoing interleaving in preparation for the examinations.

The first lesson looks briefly at Q1 and in more detail at Q2. Resources for this lesson are the Alex Cold insert and an extract from The Handmaid’s Tale. An extract from ‘Wuthering Heights’ is used for Q2.

Lesson two looks at Q3 structure in ‘To the Lighthouse’ by Woolf and requires structure strips which are included. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I obtained the strips from, but will happily credit the person who made them if someone lets me know.

Lessons three and four have a detailed focus on Q4, using structure strips (again, I didn’t create these) to support responses, plus an extract from ‘Power’ by Cope.

Lesson five is a Section A practice paper based on an extract from ‘IT’ by Stephen King.

Exemplar responses are provided for all questions based on the Alex Cold extract/paper. These are previously marked student exemplars from AQA and the marks are Q2 6/8, Q3 8/8 and Q4 20/20.

I do not make any money from the sharing of resources, and do not claim all the work as my own. I magpie from many units to create a resource that works for my teaching style and classes. I share my units because I believe that we should be supporting each other as much as we can, without everyone re-creating the wheel!

I apologise profusely if I have used your work without credit and will happily credit you for any work and/or change the unit to remove your contribution if you contact me directly.
