Worksheet with a range of short activities considering the character of Fred.

Story and Descriptive writing KS3 resources

The activities on the PP were created by me for use with a LA 10 class who have just started looking at Paper 2. Initially students attempted the exam paper and then we had a walk through focusing on inferring information (2) using terminology (3) and the success criteria for Q4. I have made structure strips to assist in answering the Section B question. The original paper is not my own.

Displays focusing on theory, vocabulary and teminology. Made for Edexcel but suitable for AQA with a few tweaks on ‘IDEAL C’

An extract with questions designed at encouraging students to consider context, audience and use of terminology more. This was used with a mid-high ability Y7 class following an assessment on the blank extract. This meant that students could show progress.

PP looking at each poem separately and a large grid/ essay plan comparing the two. There are two differentiated versions. This was done with Y7 though it was challenging for them. I have looked at the same poems with anything up to Y11.

Resources for James and the Giant Peach.

My Y11 middle ability were becoming confused by which questions were on each paper. I made them a summary for them to put in their folders and refer back to. I am aware that there is more information that could potentially go on here, however I wanted it to be concise as it meets the needs of my students in this case.
