This 48 page activity workbook includes everything a student will need to know for both papers of the AQA English Language GCSE. It gives overviews of the whole exams, with advice regarding timing and approaches. For all questions in both papers, it includes key information and strategies students need to know, and smaller tasks where appropriate to support students with their planning. There are annotated model examples and paragraph structures for each task, and practice questions with space for them to be completed. The texts are all linked to the theme of extreme weather, with a narrative extract from 'Blood on Snow' for paper 1, and non-fiction extracts from Captain Scott's diary (1912) and Simpson's account of his mountaineering disaster (1988
This could be ideal as a revision workbook or a resource for a unit of lessons.

Well-designed and comprehensive but it needs updating in light of the examiner reports from 2017. I had to insert half a dozen missing apostrophes before giving this to students.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I will go through and correct the punctuation errors. I am planning on making an updated version implementing what we learnt from the exam marking we did in the summer and the examiner’s report. I will advise on here when I have made it. Thanks.

This is great value for money and very nicely designed. I initially wasn't so sure about the Unit One extract text about Olav the assassin, but on a second reading, there is a lot of richness and ambiguity which made the statement analysis task very interesting. Overall, the topic of mountain climbing and snow worked well, although a few female students found the image task tricky! A challenging pack which pushed all of us and was ideal as exam practice. Fanstastic value as it covers both. Prints out beautifully. The summaries of each task on the unit and the inclusiin of marks available with percentage weightings was really useful for the students. Overall, the best pack I've found so far!
