This GCSE, English Language (Eduqas) resource is aimed to support students to improve attainment in the C2 section. It contains a reading practice paper with two extracts/questions, a writing section and a Cause and Effect activity.
The reading booklet contains practice reading extracts on the theme of discrimination. The first article is a modern autobiography about the experiences of a student in a wheelchair. The second is a Victorian autobiography about John Merrick who had a severe disfigurement. This is followed by practice questions based on the Eduqas examination. With each question a table to help analyse phrases from the text is included, along with a model paragraph for each section.
The Writing Booklet includes two relevant questions, model paragraphs and a planning grid. The model paragraph is designed to show how to develop ideas by using relevant grammatical structures and language devices.
Finally, a creative Cause and Effect mini-story activity helps students practice using cause and effect sentences.
This unit is effective in helping students improve their read and writing performance on the Component Two paper!
