An in-depth and very detailed powerpoint with stu worksheets - activities and sample reponses for each level. This ppt with activities can be used as seven different lessons or shortened and used as a walk-through. I have shown the criteria/ marking descriptors for each of the questions -what stu need to understand. They have multiple activities for each ques; exploding quotes, labeling 3-4 levels of the alternate responses for each ques I have made according to the particular levels, peer mark their partners responses and improve their work from the knowledge and understanding they’ve gained. Ques 5/6 again has clear marking descriptors and activities. Once they’ve written their own responses, again peer marked approp level with an example response based on level 3, finally improve their work.

This resource is a complete 4 part lesson ie ppt must be viewed through slide show for eliciting as well as a narrated video I have compiled can be used as a starter, (5min). Reviewing and eliciting knowledge on figurative language; literary devices and effects with various worksheets one of which is the opening of the story with boxes and arrows listing A-W for students to work in pairs or three's together to discuss and fill the chart with the device applied, the effects the techniques have through language in the text and the effect on tone and mood or atmosphere. Students can complete at home and bring back to the classroom as a flipped classroom to discuss, share and compare their ideas ie peer to peer assessment for improvement, followed by another lesson to write-up a summary of all the collected information into proper grammatical sentences using a word bank followed again by peer to peer assessment for improvement and finally handing in the final improved summaries a thesaurus can also be used.

P2 November 2019 GCSE English Language

The is a detailed lesson for the AQA November 2019 resit exam, Paper 2. I have created 3 different leveled responses for each of the questions ie Levels 2,3,4. All the appropriate marking criteria is included also. The reason is to allow students to understand the differences in each level and to improve their own work. Many tasks are included. One of tasks is for students to label each response and mark their peer’s work. This lesson can be used as a walk through or can be used in at least several different lessons, all resources can be adapted. I have used some transitions in the ppt therefore if you would rather not have them then simply click on transitions in the ribbon and click none for each. The power point should be viewed in a slideshow.

Descriptive Language: Writing a creative descriptive narrative

This lesson is a complete 1 1/2 hrs. It contains ppt presentation to be viewed in slide show, resources for refresher activities and a complete detailed lp. The idea is for students not only to become more creative in their writing but also look outside of the box ie by looking at different angles in an image to visualize how what we first assumed is quite different from a closer - up angle . It was a fun lesson and students enjoyed very much. Can be adapted to any secondary group or 16+.

This is the 3rd toolkit I have compiled and adapted for students to use both in and out of the classroom. Total pages are 30 similar content as I have used in Paper 1 Reading and Writing. Including relevant definitions, tips, examples relevant words and phrase banks, all information is included in context to the second reading paper. In order for students to develop their use of vocabulary for appropriate situations and always have one place to look back to either use as a reference, guide and for revision. The more students look back to the same place they will increase their recall skills through what you might call subliminal repetition... Further relevant content has been added. Now in word format.
