I have created a revision resource for students looking to revise Paper 1. This is designed to get students to think critically about the fiction extract they have been given and take a step back from the text to truly consider the writer’s choices. I have put it up for free because I think there is quite a lot confusion about high level answers on the Language exam so I wanted to create something which encourages critical, higher-level thinking about literature without confusing this with using complex terminology or particular writing frames.

A couple of lessons on a poem called Pigeons by Richard Kell. Rich with imagery, this poem is excellent for a high-ability class at KS3 and easily adapted for other abilities.
