The materials consist of twenty-five extract questions each with a one to two page extract from Othello by William Shakespeare. No extracts are repeated over the 25 questions and extracts are drawn from an even spread of acts and scenes.
The questions provide an initial proposition in the form of a quotation. The proposition is followed by a question that asks students to discuss a specific aspect of love in the extract and at other points in the play.
Each questions provides a different topic within the Love through the ages heading. The question requires students to complete a detailed analysis of the extract followed by a discussion of the topic in the rest of the play.
The pack includes:
25 AQA style proposition practice exam papers on different sections and different topics in Othello.
An exemplar essay of one of the practice exam questions.
An assessment objective marking grid.
A PowerPoint with details about the structure of the questions, suggestions about how to approach the question, a structure for writing a response, examining board suggestions, instructions for using the marking grid and a student self-assessment activity.
