A great Powerpoint outlining the questions in component 2 into the following areas:
- how many marks
- how points should you make?
- how many quotes should you use?
- what are the marks given for?
- what do you need to avoid?
Very clear, concise and helpful for the students.
I made this for my students when I wanted them to revise prior units even when moving onto a new topic. Each of these starters are 5-10 mins long. They get a slide with an exam language question, sample quotes and a PEE sentence starter. They have 2 mins to write their PEE.
The students seem to like it as it’s fun and competitive. Great for peer assessment too. It’s worked really well for me.
