AQA Step Up to English: Component 2 Creative Writing Unit *NEW*

AQA Step Up to English Creative Writing Bundle *NEW*

This is a collection of resources for colleagues teaching the AQA Step Up to English course. Both teaching units come with well-presented teaching PPTs and all student resources. **Creative Writing Unit** This highly engaging and enjoyable unit of work is designed to help Step Up to English students prepare for the AQA Component 2 writing section with a particular focus on narrative writing. It supports students in actively exploring and enjoying narrative extracts, looking at models from a range of literature and identifying successful features before moving to composing their own creative responses in the style of the writing assessment. **Grammar and Punctuation Starters** This resource was designed as a series of starters for my Step Up to English group. It focuses on sentences structure and punctuation and provides opportunities for students to apply new skills. It takes a visual approach to teaching simple, compound and complex sentences and provides texts and writing activities which help provide a context rather than the more traditional method of writing out individual sentences. As well as sentence structure, it covers punctuation including use of commas and punctuating direct speech. I have also added a set of Step Up creative writing tasks and a CPD unit on how to teach creative writing for Entry Level English. *Please check current list of NEAs with AQA and note that information, guidance, support and resources are available from AQA.* **More Step Up to English Resources** Complete courses and individual teaching units on all component 1 and 2 topics are available. They include teaching PPTs, all student resources and a set of detailed teacher's notes and can be found at: [RoseandMay's TES English Classroom Resources](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/RoseandMay101/) **New individual units:** [AQA Step Up to English: Component 1 STYLE Unit](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12584104) [AQA Step Up to English: Component 2 CRIME Unit](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12545869) **New Complete Course** [AQA Step Up to English: Complete Course (Leisure, Crime and Style Units)](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12591097)
