This was created for learners doing GCSE English Language - the new Grade 9-1 Course. It can be used as a revision or even an introduction to language features. I’ve described how I did it with a set of learners but the simple PowerPoint slide could be used in any number of ways.
The general aim is to improve a story which starts ‘The student was late’ using the power of language features. The slides are created in such a way that it forces learners to find very straightforward explanations for the language feature that they have been given. Although this does not directly help with the exam question where they have to find, analyse and explain language features it serves as an introduction.
The resource also works towards paper 1 question 5 (AQA board at least!) when learners must incorporate language features in to their own creative writing, either descriptive or narrative.

Very good resource
Great resource, thank you
excellent resource. Thanks.
I would reconsider calling it a 'game' but I really like this lesson and the associated resources. It really gets learners thinking about building on a piece of basic writing to make it more advanced to 'travel' up the mark scheme. Thanks
Thank you so much for this excellent resource.
