GCSE / IGCSE English Model Answer for Narrative Writing + Practise Exam Questions
This is a Narrative Writing model answer that I wrote as an example top level creative writing piece for my GCSE and IGCSE English Language students (AQA / Edexcel / CIE / OCR / WJEC). It is based off the following prompt:
**Write a story about a time and place, real or imaginary, when you felt trapped. Concentrate on your surroundings and your feelings at the time.
**
The title of the piece is ‘Pyramids’, and it explores themes such as history, tourism, nature, maturity and consumerism / materialism.
At the end of the resource, there are also exam - style questions imitating the phrasing of the AQA syllabus. These could be used to further assist students in their exam preparations. Therefore, this resource can be used as an example model answer for Creative Writing questions, and / or as a comprehension ‘insert’ text when combined with the exam style questions. Though the questions are most closely linked to AQA, they would also suit the OCR and Edexcel syllabuses quite well.
For those wanting to use the resource as exam practise, the Paper 1 AQA GCSE English Mark Scheme would be suitable to mark answers on this paper.

Exam-Style Questions
Rober Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’ Model Answer / Example Essay > A grade at AS/A Level
This is an essay which one of my students completed recently on Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’, answering the question 'Comment closely on ways in which the poem explores individuality.'
It’s marked using the CIE / Cambridge Literature Mark Scheme (9095), but this is a high quality essay that would likely achieve an A grade were it written for similar exam boards - OCR, AQA, WJEC, CCEA, Edexcel etc. It covers context and critical approaches via an examination of alternative interpretations.
It may also be useful for the more ambitious GCSE level students who are looking to push their analysis and essay writing skills further.
