Ideal for lower ability students or students responding to an AQA exam question on A Christmas Carol for the first time, this writing frame guides students through the process of responding to a question about Scrooge’s lack of humanity. The sentence stems invite students to respond to outside of the extract as well as inside the extract and include opportunities to make links to context.

Two paragraph writing frame on language and structure. These two poems go well together if the question is on identity or speaker’s feelings as they both use a dramatic monologue to express frustration but in very different ways.

On the worksheet I made 40 pairs of quotations from the Power and Conflict poems. There is an even spread of key quotes from across the 18 poems. To revise making discriminating links, students need to explain how the 2 quotations present ideas about power and conflict in a similar and different way. Example of how to turn the pairs of quotations into a comparison: Both Ozymandias and My Last Duchess portray characters with the power to issue commands to explore the corrosive nature of power. In Ozymandias the ‘sneer of cold command’ suggests the statue has a cruel condescending attitude to his subjects. However, in ‘My Last Duchess’ the speaker ‘gave commands’ to arrange for the execution of his wife to reflect his controlling nature.

2 differentiated writing frame to help students write a comparison of how Prelude and Storm on the Island present conflict with nature. There are 2 writing frames so students can select their level of challenge and independence.
