KS3 preparation for AQA new spec 2 (9-1) lit & paper 2 - compare 19th century text & modern text

4 fully differentiated (by colour) resources to support the teaching of extracts taken from 19th century texts with paper 2 comparison skills incorporated. (Theme of education)

The aim is for students to gain experience in handling extracts from 19th century literature but also draw comparisons to modern non fiction texts. These resources therefore help students to address the literature criteria and language paper 2 criteria.

Students will develop skills in:
- true or false
- synthesis
- language analysis
- explore context - social class

Students will study an extract from Wuthering Heights on the theme of childhood and will analyse language and explore context. Students will look at the presentation of childhood and compare to modern society. (Extracts included)

Students will then read a modern news report on the effect of social class and pupil progress and draw comparisons.
