Journalism at KS4 GCSE for AQA Paper 2 English Language

This unit is designed to approach the AQA GCSE Paper 2 in an original way. It is a journalism unit that teaches the reading and writing skills the students need for Paper 2 without getting bogged down in past papers. It comes fully resourced with articles, discussions, PowerPoints, exemplar answers, readings and reviews. It focuses on more than Paper 2 tests, such as music reviews, reports and website design, so you could skip these lessons if you are pushed for time.
