This well-presented pack focuses on AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1, Questions 1-5 (8700). There are four one-hour lessons covering each area of the exam paper, helping students feel more prepared for the exam. The lessons were planned to teach the exam skills thoroughly, though they could be used for revision lessons. Each lesson requires minimal preparation and is designed with pupil engagement in mind. With sixty slides, this PowerPoint has a series of easy to follow activities with clear instructions and a variety of tasks. It focuses on assessment objectives and timings, aiming to give pupils a clear understanding of the exam and what is expected of them. The aim is to provide students with the skills and confidence needed to sit and conquer this exam paper on their own. Included are: independent, pair & group work tasks, opportunities for self and peer assessment, extension tasks, writing frames, homework tasks and, in the event of emergencies, a cover lesson work sheet (though, hopefully it won’t be needed). There is also a model answer for each question to help students engage with the mark scheme. Personally, I have found that, when using this series of papers and PowerPoints, students have grown in both confidence and ability on their way to achieving their target grades, commenting on the challenge that the lessons provide them with.

This PowerPoint, when printed (or emailed) as a booklet, can be used as English Literature intervention or revision. There are 32 slides in total. Personally, I have given it as revision to my students. They plan the answers with me in an after school drop-in session and then they work through the booklet in their own time and use what they have learned to answer the exam-style questions - which I then mark and give feedback on. However, it could be used for isolation/exclusion work, extra revision, class work, home work, for intervention groups, or for GCSE re-sit students. The tasks are aimed at students aiming for a Grade 4 or 5, though it could be easily adapted for any English Literature student. Each session is designed for students to be able to work through on their own, or in small groups. There are revision activities and model answers (grade 4 and 5) in the booklet. Additionally, there are five practice questions - one from each section of the AQA 9-1 GCSE English Literature (8702) exam: Paper One - Macbeth Paper One - Jekyll & Hyde Paper Two - An Inspector Calls Paper Two - Power & Conflict Poetry Paper Two - Unseen Poetry Please check out my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The majority of slides consist of ten questions on a particular subject (mainly general knowledge) with the answers in the slide notes for teachers to read out in their weekly form quiz. There are a range of topics, as each week focuses on something different.
