I am an experienced teacher and currently Head of English and Media in a large secondary school. I am also an examiner for EDUQAS English Language GCSE. I have a range of resources available on TES. Some of my resources are quite old, from when I first started out, and I am currently working in my spare time to update my resources. There are a range of resources from displays, schemes of work, revision booklets, mock exam papers and lessons available.

I have compiled a range of questions for WJEC/EDUQAS in the exam style to cover every theme, relationship or character in the following texts:
Blood Brothers
A Christmas Carol
The Merchant of Venice
The poetry anthology.
In the documents you will find exam style questions.
In the Blood Brothers pack, there are 18 exam style questions, including previous exam questions. All of these include an extract for the springboard essay and cover every theme, character and relationship.
In the A Christmas Carol pack, there are 16 exam style questions, including previous exam questions. All of these include an extract for the springboard essay and cover every theme, character and relationship.

In the Poetry Anthology pack, there are 9 exam style questions, including previous exam questions. All of these include the poem asked to analyse and compare, as well as both questions.
