AQA Step Up to English: Component 2 CRIME Unit
Welcome to the murky world of Victorian child crime and pickpockets! This half-termly unit is built around the Step Up topic of Crime and is designed to prepare students for their AQA Step Up to English Component 2 Creative Reading and Writing assessment. It is aimed mainly at Gold award candidates however it is also applicable to those doing the Silver award if, like me, you have candidates doing both awards in the same class. It includes a nicely presented 79 slide teaching PPT (in editable PPT and PDF formats) with lots of engaging activities and both fiction and non-fiction extracts to ensure students develop the skills necessary to complete the assessment tasks for reading and writing. This includes four extracts from Roald Dahl’s ‘The Hitchhiker’, none of which appear in the actual Gold assessment - you may wish to watch the short film version to give a sense of the whole story. The writing section includes sections on good story openings, writing dialogue, creating character, narrative voice and varying sentences.
All 21 resources with all texts and student resources are included in pdf and word format as well as a detailed set of teacher’s notes explaining how I have used the resources.
Please check current list of NEAs with AQA and note that information, guidance, support and resources are available from AQA.
