A full set of powerpoint lessons based on the Edexcel New English Language GCSE Non-Fiction and Transactional Writing paper. Also included: handouts of the extracts (two chosen from the Edexcel Text Anthology) and mark schemes adapted into a handout for the long answer reading questions. I have also included the adapted 'tick box' mark scheme format I use for marking the complete paper which I have found more user-friendly when looking at the paper overall. The lessons are based around extracts by Bill Bryson and Dave Gorman, and I've found that the powerpoint takes eight or more 50 minute lessons.
A brief explanation of some of the elements:
> The powerpoint begins with a recap of the format of the English Language papers. The complete powerpoint explaining the structure of the new GCSEs overall is available for free here:

>The link for the Bryson video is at the bottom of the appropriate slide with the timings you need for the correct section to use with the lesson.
> The format for each text follows a similar structure, encouraging exam skills of reading the questions before the texts, highlighting key words and noting number of marks awarded. After annotating the text and then writing their answers, there is an opportunity for the students to familiaries themselves with the wording of the mark schemes by highlighting how it changes between levels; a handout is included for them to do this.
> The second part of the powerpoint moves into the transactional writing section of the exam and encourages the students to think about the purpose of their writing. It uses a number of preliminary tasks practising the GAPS acronym in preparation for the writing tasks related to the texts.

Thanks. I felt the transactional writing aspect was a little scarce but the rest was good.
