I have created a 'mock' component 2 paper using a 19th century advert for Cadbury's cocoa and a recent 21st century article commenting on Nesquik's advertising of it's chocolate milk. I have made this exam practice paper to help students get used to the style of exam, but used an easier text than usual to boost confidence. This is set out in the exact way Eduqas (formerly WJEC) has laid out it's specimen papers and is an incredibly useful tool when teaching students the correct way to answer each question. I have used these in conjunction with my Blood Brothers scheme of work, working with year 9 students in preparation for their GCSE course.

A fun, engaging and interactive lesson using the system of a 'Hunger Games' to discuss power and strength within Macbeth. Students are given a character at random, and some basic information, they then need to argue and discuss who would win a literary Hunger Games.

Really engaging way to consider the themes of power, corruption, greed and strength within Macbeth. Especially successful with middle-low sets to encourage engagement.
