GCSE English Revision: AQA Power and Conflict Anthology Collection: 30 questions!

(0)
This resource covers all of the poems and includes a wide range of questions to help refresh and round off learning, it has been designed to increase engagement with language, structure, form and the context of these poems. My own groups have found this resource immensely helpful in the final preparations for the exam this week. This is a perfect resource for very last minute revision, that odd lesson in which you’re not sure where the gaps might be, lunchtime catch ups, after school support, tutors, teachers, supply or parents wanting to help their students/children respectively.

GCSE English Language: 'Find' Questions and Answers

This resource offers a creative lesson for students studying English Language on papers that require students to ‘find’ information. This lesson is centred around earning Exit Passes (lolly sticks) and a Blind Style learning Activity to ensure that the most able are able to construct mark schemes and all students work in a supported environment. This lesson offers an imaginative route into a question that can otherwise be a little dry: it also works towards ALL students achieving full marks on this question and offers a range of 10 texts on which to practise this skill, including answers to all questions.
