Pre-exam Revision Mats for AQA English Language Paper 1 and 2 (GCSE 8700)

(0)
Two PowerPoint slides (one for Paper 1, one for Paper 2) which we printed as revision ‘mats’ in A3 and placed around rooms where students congregated before the exams. It gives them final reminders on how to approach each question, and can be easily tailored to suit your own teaching - e.g. changing timings or including your own approaches to certain questions. These could also be used as revision sheets, posters or reminders to be used with mock exams.

Independent Revision Booklet: A Christmas Carol

(0)
This booklet contains a series of 13 sessions, designed for students to work through ‘A Christmas Carol’ independently. Each session would last around two hours, and they can be easily broken down or adapted depending on your students’ needs. Useful for setting independent work (e.g. if a student is out of lesson), homework, or directed revision. Students are guided through which pages to read each time (referencing a freely available online copy of the novel, in pdf form so it could also be printed) followed by questions based on comprehension and interpretation. There are then a series of other tasks to ensure students engage with the section they’ve read on a deeper level.
2025 Predicted English Lit exams: Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict, Unseen Poetry (AQA)

2025 Predicted English Lit exams: Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict, Unseen Poetry (AQA)

AQA style GCSE English Literature exam papers on Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict and Unseen Poetry, based on what I anticipate might come up this year. I have no inside knowledge in terms of what will be on the exams - this is done by considering aspects such as typical extract length, question styles etc. that AQA use and eliminating anything that has already appeared on their published SAMS and past papers. Extremely useful if you want full sets of English Literature exam papers that don’t cover past content that clearly won’t come up again!

A blank slide to create differentiated homework tasks. The students can unlock 'levels' by completing homework tasks and could choose a Mario character or create one of their own to create some competition.

Romeo and Juliet for Year 8 - 13 lessons linking to New AQA Spec

(0)
This SoW is ready to go. Decorated and video clips included complete with challenge activities. This covers the play 'Romeo and Juliet'. The SoW is based on watching the Baz Luhrmann version of the play and then extracts of key scenes to analyse and base creative writing on. It focuses on conflict, male aggression, character development and how these things link to contextual information. There are a couple of writing tasks including describing the scene at the Capulet's masquerade, challenging Romeo to a duel as Tybalt, and a persuasive speech as to who is to blame for Mercutio's death.

A Christmas Carol GCSE Revision Board Game

The board will need to be printed on A3 and could be laminated for reuse. This is a really good way of getting students to revisit their learning and knowledge of the characters, themes, context and events of the novella in a fun and independent way. I have used this before and the students really enjoy it. All you will need it some dice to play. You could get students to think of their own questions and tasks too as an extension/challenge.

Hound of the Baskervilles - 19 lessons that covers the retold version

(0)
This scheme of work is based on the Usborne Classic Retold version of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Each lesson covers 1 chapter more or less and they aim to look at skills that students will need to be able to use in their new AQA GCSE exams. They think about structure, characterisation, description and PEE analysis as well as some contextual links.

Reminder of how to analyse poetry - mood and atmosphere, ideas, language (features), effect, and structure. Looks great on A3 colour and laminated.
