This series provides individual lessons, for 11-14 year old students, at approximately 45 minutes per session. The lessons aim to move beyond students' simply identifying words, phrases and clauses, but rather allowing them to discover and discuss the effects that a writer's grammatical choices have in a text. The lessons are simple and straight forward, designed to provoke thought and understanding of the English language. A lesson where students investigate how conjunctions can affect the formality and style of our writing, by through experimentation and reflection.

Using advice from AQA, this lesson guides students through the process of constructing an essay response to Macbeth, with reference to the original exemplar question on Lady Macbeth. The lesson provides advice on how to establish an argument, use the AOs and move from extract to whole while maintaining a point, as well as using exemplar student responses. The follow up lesson gives students an opportunity to self assess their progress using the mark scheme, having attempted a response themselves, as well as using the exemplar response from AQA and the examiner's report to further compound their understanding of the exam expectations.
