<p>As a GCSE examiner and teacher, I created this book with the various exam board mark schemes in mind. By following the exercises in this book, your students will be able to understand what the mark scheme is asking of them and how to apply it to achieve excellent marks in the creative/imaginative writing question on the language paper.</p> <p>That’s not to say that this book wouldn’t work for other levels as well. In fact, I designed it so that it can be used for writers of all ages.</p> <p>Contents:</p> <p>Part 1<br /> How to write creatively<br /> In part one you’ll learn to use the following techniques:<br /> • Language Features<br /> • Sentence Types<br /> • Punctuation<br /> • Show Don’t Tell<br /> • Dialogue<br /> • Five Senses<br /> • Empathy<br /> • Paragraphs</p> <p>Part 2<br /> How to write descriptions of settings In part two you’ll learn how to write effective setting descriptions that use the techniques learnt in part one.</p> <p>Part 3<br /> How to write descriptions of characters in part three you’ll learn how to write effective character descriptions that use the techniques learnt in part one.</p> <p>Part 4<br /> Freewriting<br /> In part four you’ll have space to create your own stories using all the techniques you’ve learnt from the whole book.</p>

<p>In these 174 slides, you will find everything you need to approach the Edexcel A Level and AS Level Language and Literature Anthology.</p> <p>Each text in the anthology is covered and it teaches students how and what to analyse and compare with similar texts.</p> <p>This can be used for first teaching or revision.</p> <p>It also includes some essays that need improvement and gives students the opportunity to mark and rewrite them for practice.</p> <p>As an A Level teacher I created this resource to aid with my teaching because I felt that I needed a lot of guidance. Since creating this I have found anthology teaching much more straightforward and students really respond to the formulaic approach.</p>
