This resource has been a lifesaver in preparing my GCSE group for their Literature Paper 1 - Romeo and Juliet section. The booklet is structured so that it includes: • A contents page with a reminder of 12 key themes and characters • 5 practice papers for a selection of the themes and characters • Guidance on how to approach each question in timed conditions • Colour coded headings so that students can see where they’ll be hitting each of the AOs • A structured planning sheet for each for each question (I included 5 in here to save on printing and a blank copy at the back of the booklet for students to photocopy to continue planning) • Modelled examples of how to plan • Some scaffolded examples to guide their planning on the initial pages This means our revision lessons have been student-led, students can work through the booklet at their own pace and keep track of their progress with the tick sheet.
