NEW AQA English Language Paper 1 Section A SOW that works in conjunction with this pack of resources.
Includes differentiated activities and resource ideas throughout, as well as links to all relevant resources, PowerPoints and further student and teacher notes and guidance.
I have left the old scheme of work I made in here as well, although this has not been updated. This is a fully differentiated SOW for AQA English Language Paper 1 that prepares Year 9 students for a six week block. However, these ideas and suggestions can easily be adapted for KS4 students and other KS3 students as well.
This SOW’s resources (including lessons) can be purchased as part of an AQA English Language Paper 1 bundle.
All resources (lessons, worksheets and links to sources) can be purchase here: AQA English Language Paper 1 Bundle. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-english-language-paper-1-11757237
As we finish A Christmas Carol, we look at Stave Five and at how Scrooge has changed since the beginning of the text. We analyse key quotes, key language features and the type of ending used by Dickens to have maximum impact on his readers. An engaging, detailed and fully differentiated lesson.
As we study An Inspector Calls by JB Priestley we look at how a generation gap seems to form between young and older characters, particularly in Act 3 as The Inspector leaves and allows the characters to discuss amongst themselves what has happened and what they have discovered about themselves. The lesson includes differentiated activities, thought-provoking questions and opportunities to link context to the play.
An easy to use reading comprehension pack with three sections of differentiated questions. This activity focuses on the debate around tattoos and the prejudices many have against them. It contains one mild slang term and is aimed more at KS4. It can be used in form time as part of literacy focus, or in an English lesson for KS3/4 GCSE comprehension training.
It is interesting, useful, very easy to use and good way to combine Current Affairs and English.
