This PowerPoint contains twenty four one-hour well-structured lessons (over 300 slides) that focus on AQA GCSE English Language Paper Two: Section A - Questions 1-4 (reading non-fiction; writers’ viewpoints and perspectives). All tasks are written according to the 9-1 GCSE numerical grades and are designed for AQA English Language Paper 2 qualification (8700). There are a wide range of tasks that focus on building the skills needed for AO1, AO2 and AO3 - including practice questions, original model responses, extension tasks and text extracts. The PowerPoint includes a baseline assessment and end of unit assessment questions that are modelled on the AQA exam; additionally, there are weekly 30 minute homework tasks for students to complete. There are also four extra exam-based questions that could be used as cover work or as extra questions for revision. Each lesson follows a set structure including starter activities, lesson outcomes and objectives, model answers, self and peer assessment activities and plenaries. I made the papers about topics that I know my students are interested in. Many of the topics lend themselves to key PSHE issues that make for interesting debates in the classroom should you want to improve their oracy skills or base the ‘Spoken Language’ endorsement around these topics. All extracts are from the 19th, 20th and 21st century. Paper 1: Bank Robberies Paper 2: Fires of London Paper 3: Mad Scientists Paper 4: Emmett Till and Racism Paper 5: Sexting Paper 6: Slavery Paper 7: Prisons Paper 8: Mental Health Paper 9: Gangs Paper 10: Death Row Paper 11: Thieves Additional tasks include Immigration, Donald Trump and Poisoned Sweets.

This PowerPoint contains four one-hour lessons that focus on GCSE English Language Paper 2, Questions 1-4. All tasks are designed for the 9-1 AQA English Language: Paper Two (8700). All four lessons center on two sources (provided in Word format). Whilst AO1, 2 & 3 are covered, a particular focus is placed on ‘Sophisticated Subject Terminology’ needed for a Level 4 in AO2. Whilst neither of the sources are Victorian, they do give the students a chance to practise the skills of the qualification. Some slides were used and adapted from resources available on TES from CarlaBrennan and fusbal (and others).

This is a differentiated copy of the ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ by R. L. Stevenson in Microsoft Word format. Many of my students disengage with the novel due to the complex vocabulary. When reading through it with them, I highlighted every word that they stumbled on or were unfamiliar with. I then found easier synonyms for these words and added them to the text in brackets. My students can now engage with the text a lot easier as a result. The whole differentiated novel is 51 pages in total and each chapter begins on a new page for ease of printing. This is part of my 24 lesson scheme of work on the novel, which can be found here.

This is a nineteen slide PowerPoint that accompanies a YouTube video series which can be found here. This PowerPoint looks at five different types of nouns (proper noun, concrete noun, pronoun, abstract noun and collective noun) and aims to help students identify the different types in a sentence. It contains some small activities too. The YouTube video explores the slides in much more depth and is useful for students who are revising, home learning, or who have missed lessons and need to catch up. Please note, this is not a lesson. It is a collection of slides that explain the noun types with some small activities. It’s more of a reference guide. I have included the PowerPoint in PDF format, as well as PPTX. Many more high-quality resources can be found at my shop: PateResources Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This mark book is based on the new specification AQA GCSE English Literature (8702) qualification with the 2019 grade boundaries. In it, I have broken the qualification down so that there is a column for each question for you to input the marks to. The mark book will then automatically generate a fine grade for each section of the paper and a separate grade for each paper overall. The mark book will then generate an overall total and fine grade for the qualification as a whole (paper one and paper two). In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a fine grade splits each grade (9-1) into three: 5a - The top end of a grade 5, almost working at a grade 6 5b - A secure grade 5 5c - The bottom end of a grade 5, almost slipping the grade 4 boundaries The grade boundaries were calculated based on the August 2019 results from the 2019 GCSE exam series. I have also included a row that works out the class average which is useful for comparing sets within the department, or for working out which question/section needs more work, or just to give the students a reference point for how well they did. This can be used as an individual mark book or for the whole department, simply copy the ‘English Literature Mark Book’ tab to replicate the mark book and all of its formulas for each class in thee year group. You can find a copy of my GCSE English Language mark book here: goo.gl/L98vmk Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Each slide in this PowerPoint focuses on different elements of English Language subject terminology (both language and structure). There is a section explaining the definition of the terminology to the student and another section with examples of the terminology in use. These slides can be slotted in to any PowerPoint as an example, printed as a revision guide, printed as terminology posters for around your class room or just emailed to students for extra revision material. In total there are 70 different slides that each cover a different technique that may have been used by the writer. My students requested this resource as a way to develop their AO2 skills (Explain, comment on and analyse how writers use language and structure to achieve effects and influence readers, using relevant subject terminology to support their views) to assist them in AQA’s English Language Paper One Q2, 3 & 4 and Paper Two Q3 & 4, in order to get the ‘sophisticated subject terminology’ element of the mark scheme. 70 Subject Terminology phrases covered from ‘Abstract Nouns’ to ‘Zoomorphism’. Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

In this bumper pack of practice questions, there are over ninety creative writing questions in the style of AQA’s GCSE English Language Paper One Question Five (Q5), as well as two revision lessons. The practice exam questions - on a range of topics - can be given to students as extra revision, practice papers, during lessons, or as homework. These assessment questions can be used with KS4 for exam preparation or as creative writing exercises for KS3. There are also two one-hour revision lessons (each lesson consists of 20 PowerPoint slides). One lesson focuses on answering the narrative question, the other focuses on the description question. Both lessons have their own model answers, as well as a range of activities to help students develop their writing skills. All resources are available in PPT/DOC and PDF formats. Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This mini revision guide pack looks at each question in the AQA GCSE English Language qualification (both paper 1 and paper 2) and gives students tips on what they need to do in the exam. There is an exemplar question for each slide, a table showing the grade boundaries for that particular question and general guidance with how to structure their answer and how long to spend on each question. The final slide is a break down of the grade boundaries based on the AQA English Language grade boundaries from the summer examination series. I have also included a mock Paper One exam and a mock Paper Two exam. This should provide you with everything you need to help your students revise for the English Language exam.

KS3 Non-Fiction Writing Scheme of Work This PowerPoint contains twenty one-hour lessons (233 slides) that focus on nonfiction writing skills, and is aimed at Key Stage Three. There are a wide range of tasks (lessons listed below) that focus on building the key skills of nonfiction writing: planning, language and structure methods, accurate punctuation, vocabulary and proofreading. There are practice questions, original non-fiction model responses, extension tasks, punctuation activities, and a whole bunch more! I have also included a second PowerPoint that can be printed as a resource booklet for students. This will save you time in printing and slicing (and will also save you a fortune on glue sticks!). Additionally, there are weekly homework tasks. And three printable sheets that can be used as KS3 nonfiction cover work if you are in a pinch. The premise is that students would gather information about a particular non- fiction topic by watching a documentary. They would then learn about the form of the text and plan their responses thoroughly. They would then learn a new skill and use this to complete some extended writing, before proofreading and editing their work. As a result, for some texts, they will be planning and writing over multiple lessons to really give them the chance to develop and hone their non-fiction writing skills. Please Note: The longer documentaries are available on Netflix; however, I have also provided alternatives on YouTube for teachers that do not have access to a Netflix account. Areas covered: Lesson 1: Baseline assessment on tackling climate change Lesson 2: Editing letters on education Lesson 3: Exciting introductions on filters Lesson 4: Writing leaflets on homelessness Lesson 5: Watching the world water crisis documentary Lesson 6: Planning, introductions and speech features Lesson 7: Writing a speech on the world water crisis Lesson 8: Headlines and newspaper features Lesson 9: Watching the fast food documentary Lesson 10: Discourse markers and planning articles Lesson 11: Writing an article on fast food Lesson 12: Midterm assessment on fast fashion Lesson 13: Watching the gender pay gap documentary Lesson 14: Structural features and letter planning Lesson 15: Writing a letter on the gender pay gap Lesson 16: Midterm assessment feedback Lesson 17: Watching the plastics documentary Lesson 18: Persuasive methods and planning texts Lesson 19: Writing the KS3 non-fiction writing end of unit assessment Lesson 20: Writing leaflets on our planet Extra: Three cover lessons Both the scheme and the resource booklet and provided in PPT and PDF formats.

This is a collection of PowerPoints that accompany a YouTube video playlist which can be found by searching ‘Pate Resources Jekyll Hyde’ on YouTube. The PowerPoints look at revising the key quotations, themes, and context points of Jekyll and Hyde in preparation for the GCSE English Literature exam. These slides are for all of the YouTube videos. I will add to this collection as I create more videos. The videos are aimed at students who are revising, home learning, or who have missed some lessons and need to catch up on the play. They cover the slides in much more depth. Please note, these are not lessons. They are a collection of slides (and some short activities) with notes to help in the revision of characters, chapters, themes and context points, with some exam-style questions. I have included the PowerPoints in PDF format, as well as PPTX. A link to my fully resourced 24-lesson Jekyll and Hyde scheme of work can be found here. Other resources can be found in my shop.

I was struggling to find a decent pack of cover lessons for English that was full of relevant and exam-focused material, as there is nothing worse than waking up ill and having to set cover work. So I decided to make one. Each of the activities in this pack are written for the 9-1 style GCSE and are aimed at the AQA exam board. There are 19 activities in total, covering the following topics Anthology Poetry - Power & Conflict Poetry Anthology Poetry - Love & Relationships Poetry Unseen Poetry (2 lessons) Shakespeare (2 lessons on Macbeth) English Language Paper 1: Question 5 (2 lessons) English language Paper 2: Question 5 (2 lessons) Modern Text (2 lessons on An Inspector Calls) 19th Century Novel (2 lessons on Jekyll & Hyde) English Language Paper 1: Questions 1-4 (2 lessons) Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Quiz Subject Terminology Word search & Cross word Each activity is designed to fit on one sheet to make it easy to print. Minimal teacher input is needed in case a non-specialist cover teacher is supplied. All questions are based on the AQA style of questioning but can easily be adapted to suit other exam boards. The slides could also be printed off and used as homework or revision materials for Key Stage 4 students. You can find my KS3 cover pack here: https://goo.gl/93NziX Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
