More New English Language GCSE (Edexcel 9-1) Resources for 19th Century Fiction Extracts

Another full set of powerpoint lessons based on the Edexcel New English Language GCSE (9-1), Paper 1, Fiction and Imaginative Writing exam. Also included: handouts of the extracts, answers and feedback, and mark schemes for the 6 marker, 15 marker and writing section. The lessons are based around extracts from Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë, and The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.

A brief explanation of some of the elements:

The three powerpoints follow a similar format beginning with a starter activity to interest the students in the book and/or author overall. Links for any videos are at the bottom of the slides.

Students are then taken through exam strategies to help optimise time management in the exam for each of the questions. Marking for the 6 and 15 markers is then based around peer assessment and familiarising the students with the mark schemes for each.

I’ve also included the full mark schemes for Section A (Reading) and Section B (Writing) which are taken from the exam board but adapted into a tick box format which I’ve found the students find easier to understand when looking at the paper overall.

A complete set of the tick box mark schemes for both the English Literature and English Language Edexcel qualifications is available for free here: [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-9-1-new-english-literature-and-english-language-gcses-11559731]
