AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2 Compare writers’ viewpoints and perspectives on the theme of working conditions in the Sports Direct warehouse and the gulag. This will focus on achieving a grade 9 in both the reading and writing sections. 63 slides includes: do now tasks, starters, explicit/impicit activity looking at the breakaway Adidas advert. 5 question breakdowns and activities and model answers and build up and planning tasks for the Q5 writing tasks, with model answer. Lesson plenary is a RAG technical accuracy self-review and then finishes with a game of Backs to the Board to review on language techniques of paper 2.
Lots of opportunities to compare and discuss EDI and British values looking at working conditions and the link to the gulag, the major instrument of political repression in the Soviet Union.
63 slides, so this is crammed with handy grade 9 content that will last you a few lessons, breaks down the 5 questions, looking at techniques to answer the questions, then gives time to complete the activities and then provides grade 9 responses to each of the questions.
