AQA English Language Paper 2 Section A

This PowerPoint contains twenty four one-hour well-structured lessons (over 300 slides) that focus on AQA GCSE English Language Paper Two: Section A - Questions 1-4 (reading non-fiction; writers’ viewpoints and perspectives). All tasks are written according to the 9-1 GCSE numerical grades and are designed for AQA English Language Paper 2 qualification (8700).

There are a wide range of tasks that focus on building the skills needed for AO1, AO2 and AO3 - including practice questions, original model responses, extension tasks and text extracts. The PowerPoint includes a baseline assessment and end of unit assessment questions that are modelled on the AQA exam; additionally, there are weekly 30 minute homework tasks for students to complete. There are also four extra exam-based questions that could be used as cover work or as extra questions for revision.

Each lesson follows a set structure including starter activities, lesson outcomes and objectives, model answers, self and peer assessment activities and plenaries.

I made the papers about topics that I know my students are interested in. Many of the topics lend themselves to key PSHE issues that make for interesting debates in the classroom should you want to improve their oracy skills or base the ‘Spoken Language’ endorsement around these topics. All extracts are from the 19th, 20th and 21st century.
