Grammar and Punctuation to Stretch and Challenge

(0)
I created this brilliant 15 page work pack containing six exercises of general punctuation, nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives for my GCSE English language revision class. I found that getting close to GCSE’s my students sometimes forgot basic punctuation. The work pack is easy to use and has a definition with examples and then exercises to be completed. (Answers are included) I have found that I can use them for stretching students further in Year 8 and Year 9. I have added in the answers so that they can bee peered marked or used for homework. I also found that it encourages students to find the meaning and definitions.

I have based the Power Point on Paper 1, November 2018. I generally use this Power Point over 2 or 3 separate lessons. I have found that borderline students often struggle with putting together a good answer, they often do not know key words to use or how to structure it. I use PEEZE and PEE which I think is standard. I also find that these students need short chunking activities to keep them interested. I have created a separate worksheet that breaks each question down to help the students create an answer. **A Sound of Thunder–Ray Bradbury is copyright for AQA Resource available on AQA website In this pack I have included: Power -Point Worksheet with the full exam questions Dinosaur Worksheet
