English Language GCSE Paper 1 2019: tips, example answers and skills

This resource is a lengthy power-point (over 30 slides) that contains a step by step approach to AQA English Language GCSE Paper 1, 2019. It contains tips and ways to approach each question with modelled responses that are annotated in relation to the mark scheme. All example responses are on word documents to be given to students to annotate useful elements.

The power-point could be used as a ‘walk and talk’ presentation to walk students through the exam paper, as feedback after a mock or for revision purposes.

There are two example responses to question 2, one example response to question 3 and two example responses to question 4.

For the writing section, a specific stepped approach to the describe question is given, an example plan and example opening. There are tips on how to answer a narrative question too.

Throughout, references are made to the level descriptors for each question. However, the example responses are different to those given in the official mark scheme to give full, alternative responses to q2-4.
