Builds challenging and highly-differentiated GCSE skills into learning about the event. I have used with HA Y7, Mixed Y9 both with excellent results. Brilliant for Paper 2 Edexcel or AQA adaption. I did this during a formal observation and it worked really well (Outstanding). Use the Word worksheet to introduce or as a first lesson, then follow with the pair/team sheets (print on A3). Uses competitive learning strategies to engage boys. Would make a good stand-alone lesson with war poetry or a war-based novel such as War Horse. Development: Introduce/compare with the Sainsbury's ad (youtube), The Farm 'All Together Now' (song and lyrics) or Paul McCartney "Pipes of Peace" video/song.

Contains a wealth of resources, exam papers and lessons. Covers a full six/seven week introduction to Non-fiction and is aimed at the GCSE Reading AO's. Has been used to great success in my own classes.

I made this to use with a KS4 group during a taster lesson. There was naturally a lot of explanation and discussion but there are a few easy little tasks they can also do. Hope it's useful for someone. I printed the slides with pictures on them off as big handouts for note-making purposes.

I used a guillotine to split up the SPEED chain in order to encourage students to think about crafting better paragraphs. They then used treasury tags to connect them. I based my answer on the 2019 Othello extract for Spec B - tragedy although it could be used to model any extract-based answer. I then gave out the essay split into paragraphs. You may wish to alter for the ability of your students as this is highest Band 5 level. Once they had decided on the order of the essay they stuck it onto A3 and colour coded each AO. I hope you find this lesson useful.

A self-contained task for students who have studied the Miller Keats combination of Tragedy. I have set this for this week’s distance learning in advance of an attempt of their own. Covers the skills and mark scheme of Paper 1; Section C Thank you

Attached is an example answer for your students to show how to respond to a real question for the “A Christmas Carol” extract question and then a full mark answer to analyse with the students. I videoed my process of annotating and then turning these into an answer - the process was: summary of whole extract, words and word groups, literary devices, sentence types and punctuation, summary of whole extract. (This task only requires AO2- language and structure). If you would like an example writing for Section B I would also be happy to add one or make a new resource.

Resource which shows firstly how to model annotation and then an example answer which covers how to structure an answer to Q3. This is on the Zola Budd/Mary Decker Edexcel Paper 2 for English Language, June 2020 (Edxecel) You could use this in a number of ways, cut and mix up the sentences to show how to build up paragraphs, as sentence starters or simply as a model answer to stick in books after the students have had a go.

Very useful for A Level or undergraduate literature. I hope you enjoy using this. You could potentially use it as a short project, assign a different literary genre and students make their own (good transition from A Level to HE)

A short presentation with links to useful sites and videos with a full mark exemplar to an AQA Paper 1, Part A question which shows how to discuss Seneca. Good for high ability students or as flipped learning. Any queries, please don’t hesitate to ask, or if there is something you would like making bespoke for you, please let me know.

A really useful revision lesson with all questions as well as a model Q4 scanned in for analysis. Works well for a middle ability group but could very easily be adapted up or down. There are sections in the lesson throughout for you to use a visualiser to broadcast either your own, or a student’s answer.

I made this for a mixed ability Y11 group who were shortly to sit their exams. The key point of this lesson is that it is largely student led and you mainly just circulate, discuss and monitor. Theme: AMBITION but very easily adaptable for any other theme/focus.

A really useful mini-knowledge organiser in bookmark form; students find this incredibly useful to work from. Adaptable as to what you have covered. Includes contextual information on the reverse and how to write a response to an extract on the front. Act 1 - full exam question from Act 1, scene ii Model answer (full marks) based on the extract to demonstrate how to achieve the AOs and how to write academic paragraphs in response to an extract.

I have created two lessons or one full WTM if you just use the second half of the presentation. The theme is on the danger of the sea and fits the pre-release info foe 2022. I have used this with a mixed and high ability group and both found it useful. I would recommend wither writing your own examples for the slides following the questions (just a starter para) as we all have our own style or using a web cam (mine is like the one in the images) to show different students’ work after each writing bit to live model marking.

Could be used as a model for a full-mark Pearson iGCSE coursework, or an A Level analysis coursework for another exam board. I would use this as a live walkthrough of of how to structure the essay, or take one paragraph and really closely break it down as to how it has been composed. I hope this helps anyone who is in need of a stretch and challenge exemplar; it could easily be adapted for a different group/ability. This is marked out of AO1, AO2 and AO4 with 10 marks for each component.

A self contained lesson (PPT/short video) and worksheet on “The Woman in Black” for 20th century prose. Would be good to use with younger year groups who are reading the novel (to transition to GCSE skills) or is suitable for KS4 classes too.

Fiction reading resources and example answer on Paper 1: Reading. Based around DH Lawrence's The Rainbow. This is for our Year 9's to be introduced to the section (Edexcel) but very easily adapted for AQA as it is not strictly 19th Century. Any questions please ask.

2x full mock exam papers (Paper 1) for A2 Exam Full mark exemplar (scanned) for Section A and C - Paris Anthology, Handmaid's Tale and Browning.

Booklet designed for use in preparation for the Edexcel GCSE new spec. Easily adaptable to AQA as the questions are almost exactly the same.

For AQA Spec B, Route A - all six past questions for Part C (the two text question) together as well as 21 new questions which are excellent for rapid planning, homeworks etc. You could set one a fortnight for the entire year!

An excellent and detailed lesson based on two non-fiction texts. Includes full walkthrough and tips - designed to be used with a visualiser if possible although I have included a scan of my example for Q4.
