Using Pathetic Fallacy to Describe a Setting for Paper 1 Question 5
When approaching Paper 1 Question 5, I advise students to begin with an opening paragraph that uses pathetic fallacy to describe a setting.
Here are 6 examples that use pathetic fallacy to depict the opening.
They also consistently use ambitious tier 2 vocabulary and advanced punctuation to help show the sophistication required for the top band of the mark scheme.
After studying the 6 model paragraphs, students should then move on to create their own pathetic fallacy opening paragraphs.
Anecdote Lead Paragraphs for Paper 2 Question 5
I advise my students to start their response to Paper 2 Question 5 with an engaging personal anecdote.
This resource contains 6 examples of anecdotal lead paragraphs to familiar Paper 2 Question 5-style topics covering travel, school uniform, homework, climate change, social media and animals in captivity.
I ask my students study the style of these modelled examples before attempting to write their own anecdotal lead paragraphs.

Each revision sheet contains high-level analysis of the key quotations from the poem. A02 and A03 are embedded into the explanations.
Also includes a ‘because, but, so’ summary of every poem.
The ‘because, but, so’ method is an excellent tool for teaching students to think analytically about each poem in the Power and Conflict anthology. This tool is powerful because it encourages students to expand their thinking with precision and detail.
After studying each poem, I ask students to write a ‘because, but, so’ paragraph on it.
Also includes a 90 question quiz with answers.
This document collates ‘because, but, so’ paragraphs on all 15 poems as examples to assist students with revising the key ideas in each poem.
Also contains a second quiz with 10 multiple choice questions on every poem. Answer sheet also included.
