Teaching GCSE AQA English Language Paper 2 - READING Section

This detailed resource looks at how to answer ALL SIX Language Paper 2’s from AQA since 2017, focussing on the READING Section.

The Powerpoint runs to 189 slides and goes through Questions 1 – 4 on:

November 2019: Shooting an Elephant/Wild Animals in captivity
Summer 2019: The Crossing/Idle Days in Patagonia
November 2018: All Cyclists Fear Bad Drivers/Victorian Cycling paper
Summer 2018: Morning Glass and the Hawaiian Archipelago
November 2017: The Other side of the Dale/The Ragged School
Summer 2017: How can my son be one year-old already/Boy Lost

I have put forward model answers for questions 1-4.
I have been teaching for 20 years and I have been an examiner for 10 years, including some of these papers, so I have a lot of experience in terms of how to approach them.
You might be using these as mocks, so might find this useful to feed back AFTER the students have attempted the exams.
I have not included the inserts or exam papers due to copyright, but they are freely available on the AQA site. The Presentation is purely my ideas on how to answer these questions and general tips on how to deal with Summary of Differences, Comparison, Language etc as per the specification of the paper.
