This 11 page booklet contains detailed model answers for questions 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the summer 2022 AQA Paper 1 English language exam which featured an extract from The Pearl by John Steinbeck.
I go through each question in detail providing a range of possible ways of approaching the question to meet the marking criteria.

Lord of the Flies Final Revision Lesson 2024
A detailed lesson and revision resource asking students to explore multiple interpretations of the main characters and themes in the play.
Students explore and examine 3 symbolic interpretations of each character or theme and discuss which is the most valid interpretation of the text.
Exploring multiple interpretations is a method for enabling students to reach Bands 5 and 6 on the markscheme.
Ideal as a final revision lesson in the run up to the exam.

Drop, Shift, Zoom, Leave Examples for Paper 1 Question 5
The drop, shift, zoom, leave method is an increasingly popular method for approaching Paper 1 Question 5 because it allows a student to show the examiner they can effectively structure a narrative deliberately for effect.
This resource contains several 500 word stories written in the drop, shift, zoom, leave style. Students should read the examples. They then attempt to plan and write a drop, shift, zoom, leave narrative of their own.

Kingship in Macbeth.
Perhaps due to the recent coronation, many experts are predicted kingship would be the theme for the exam in 2023. They were wrong. Maybe 2024 will be the year for this key theme to be on the exam. Therefore I have created a 20 slide PowerPoint that guides students through how to plan and respond to a question on kingship in Macbeth. Students go on to write their own response and then compare it to the model response.
I believe the model response is full marks and would easily achieve grade 9; however, there will always be some teachers who claim nothing short of postgraduate level writing will receive the much coveted 9 so I am reluctant to make the claim that it would definitely achieve a 9.
