The Woman in Black AQA Lang P1 Skills

This series of lessons uses extracts from across The Woman in Black to cover cover different required for English Language Paper 1 (AQA).

This includes extracts from chapters 1, 3, 5 and 6, and covers language analysis, structural analysis and evaluation, providing AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 style questions. The lessons finish with self-assessment and peer assessment checklists and contain sentence starters for support.

This sequence of lessons could be taught in solidarity or used as a revision pack for mid-ability KS4 students. However, it is designed to be taught alongside the text as a KS3 class reader. As it is primarily English Language focused, it does not contain information on the novel as a whole, the context of the novel or any of the main characters. It also does not contain Gothic conventions, again to avoid touching on AO3 of English Literature.
