**Need help in getting your students to take accountability for their learning? Then look no further! I have used this individual results sheet for all my GCSE students for several years. **4 separate sheets for English Language P1 -P2 and English Literature P1-P2 It allows me to sit down with each student that I teach and discuss their exam result and look at where they want to improve and I think the need to improve. Although I put the exam result in and my prediction, I always let the student complete the sheet with 5 Key Questions: ’What do I need to do to improve? '**What will stop me from achieving my goal? ** etc… It means that the student is taking responsibility for their own learning. I also use this sheet when doing a final parents evening as it allows parents to read what their child has written.

I have based the Power Point on Paper 1, November 2018. I generally use this Power Point over 2 or 3 separate lessons. I have found that borderline students often struggle with putting together a good answer, they often do not know key words to use or how to structure it. I use PEEZE and PEE which I think is standard. I also find that these students need short chunking activities to keep them interested. I have created a separate worksheet that breaks each question down to help the students create an answer. **A Sound of Thunder–Ray Bradbury is copyright for AQA Resource available on AQA website In this pack I have included: Power -Point Worksheet with the full exam questions Dinosaur Worksheet
