This is a new set of assessment tasks on Othello - please see my other resources for Pack 1. A set of 13 assessment tasks, following the same structure as the AQA A Level Paper 1 (Love Through the Ages), Section A, Q1 sample materials, all on Othello. This is for the new specification (7712). The assessments focus on the presentation of varying types of love across a range of key scenes in the play. This makes them useful as practice exam material, and/or for recapping key scenes in the play. Each task has a question based on the presentation of [aspect of love] in response to a statement, followed by an extract.

Six pairs of poems formatted to the AQA GCSE English Literature Paper 2 Section C exam paper. This pack includes six documents, each consisting of part i (a 24-mark analysis task of the first unseen poem) and part ii (an 8-mark task comparing how the poets use methods). Very useful if your students need to practise analysing unseen poems and comparing them.

After discounting all extracts and questions used in AQA’s sample and past papers, and considering the length of extract and question styles used by AQA, I came up with six potential extracts and questions AQA could use this summer. This resource consists of those extracts, each with a question, in the style of the AQA GCSE English Literature exam. Please note that these are purely predictions and I have no advance knowledge of the content of the exam!
