Paper 1 practice for GCSE Edexcel English Language (Fiction and Imaginative Writing), using an extract from ‘Animal Farm’ as stimulus. Lesson begins with exam overview and what is being assessed, before Reading and Writing questions. This could be turned into a quiz to test the students’s memory. Lesson finishes with peer assessment to identify revision areas.
Whilst the ‘Animal Farm’ extract is slightly longer than what students can expect in the exam, this could be used as an early revision piece as it means that there is more material for students to comment on, therefore enabling them to gain more marks at this early stage and boost confidence for tackling this paper. Alternatively, this longer extract would make it an ideal revision activity for lower ability groups.
Lesson can be used for in-class assessment or easily adapted for a homework revision task. A generic mark scheme has been included for Section A, Q3 and 4, and Section B.
