One of the main things that students have to learn for AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2 is how to identify attitudes, viewpoints and perspectives. This can be really tough to do at first, so we’ve made an 8-page resource that specifically focuses on identifying perspectives and inference as an isolated skill. It also gives students the chance to read and practice understanding 19th century nonfiction - key component of the exam.
This resource is provided as a digital + printable PDF + worksheet and PowerPoint for adaptable teaching and studying - perfect for classrooms, homework, homeschooling and independent study.
Contents:
Breakdown of key terms (Attitude, Perspective, Viewpoint)
Context + Background of Henry Mayhew and his groundbreaking nonfiction account of Victorian London
Overview of the purpose of Mayhew’s nonfiction work “London Labour and The London Poor”
An extract from the text: The Little Watercress Girl
An extended PEE paragraph writing task, with guidance about how to achieve inferences and implicit meaning analysis
Reasons to love this resource:
can be used as a full lesson in class
could also be set for homework
helps guide students through authorial intentions and how those are present in the subtext of a piece of writing
encourages students to see the connection between context and text production
provides exposure to 19th century nonfiction writing
uses a writer and text (although a different extract) that has previously featured on official AQA English Language exams
