Three mock exam papers that can be used in class or for homework to help prepare for Language Paper 1.
Each lesson is designed for feedback as answers are written during class time, to help identify revision areas promptly. A generic mark scheme has been included for teachers reference. Alternatively, the PowerPoint could be converted to a Word document and presented as an actual mock exam.
Paper 1 resources (Explorations in creative reading and writing):
The extracts are from 'War of the Worlds', 'Touching the Void' and 'Animal Farm'. All are used as the basis for Section B, writing. The resource can also be easily adapted to a Homework task for students to prepare for the exam independently. The opening slides detail an overview of the exam and what skills are being assessed in this paper.
A detailed mark scheme has been included for Section A, Reading, with suggested answers for 'War of the Worlds'. This is a starting point and can be used as a guide. It includes the level descriptors for each question, taken from the AQA mark scheme. Teacher judgement can be used for marking 'Touching the Void' and 'Animal Farm' (to avoid resource duplication). A generic mark scheme has been included for Section B, Writing, taken from one of AQA's Paper 1 example papers.
