A table which encourages deeper exploration of effects, with an extract and one example modelled. An exercise where students identify and analyse ambitious literary terminology. An effects table encouraging a What How Why approach to writing about effects. A follow up activity where students then make contextual links with their analysis. A set of questions, introductions and topic sentences. A modelled introduction and main paragraph with a follow up activity for students to write their own. Two guides to essay structure. A modelled full response to a question. The booklet is designed to be used by students with knowledge of the text and is perfect for use in the run up to examinations.

A complete set of seven ‘Learning Checkpoint’ sheets for A Level AQA English Literature A. Included are templates for every section of each exam paper and for the NEA. The sheets allow you to set a short task or paragraph response with pre-filled lines for students to write on. Students write in their own graded target. All you need to do is to tick the appropriate box as to whether they met their target and highlight or underline any of the pre-populated targets appropriate for that task or response. You can easily mark a class set of responses in 10 to 20 minutes and students quickly receive appropriate targets/feedback. I use these every other lesson in the run up to mocks or exam season and they are a game changer. Easily adaptable for your own targets, these low stakes templates will reduce your workload.
