A grade 9 response to the question about how Dickens presents ideas about joy and happiness in A Christmas Carol.
In yellow, I have the moments in the essay that do most to push the response into band 6 at the top of the mark scheme through the sensitive exploration word connotations and wider interpretations.
Also included is the essay converted into 6 revision cards to make revision easier.
Also contains a 24 slide lesson guiding students on how to create an exam response with perceptive inferences aimed at meeting A02 and A03.
Also contains two high grade responses side by side so students can judge which should go into level 5 and which should go into level 6. This always leads to fruitful discussions.

‘A thesis-style introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can be a really helpful way of starting your answer. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you know what you think. It can provide a strong foundation for the rest of the essay. Keep referring back to the introduction to create a coherent response.’ AQA examiner’s report 2022
Creating a thesis-style introduction is a challenge for many students but is essential in helping students to reach levels 4-6 in the mark scheme. I have produced a simple 3 point structure to help students quickly generate a thesis statement in timed exam conditions. There is an example of the 3 point structure being used and then students attempt to imitate the structure for 4 other exam-style questions.
Examples apply for Lord of the Flies, Macbeth and A Christmas Carol.
A lesson that revises 16 key quotations each linked to 4 big ideas from the Power and Conflict collection: nature, identity, abuse of power and memory.
