English Language GCSE Paper 1 (2020) tips, example answers & annotations

This is a detailed power-point that can be used by teachers to walk students through each question on this English Language Paper 1 (2020) GCSE. It includes suggested timings for each question, mark schemes for each question and at least one example response (or detailed opening of a response) for each question on the English Language Paper 1 (2020).

In addition to this, suggested tips about how to approach each question are used with scaffolded frameworks to plan and write a grade 4 response or above. On at least two questions out of the five, a weak response is given and then an improved version. This allows discussion opportunities to annotate and improve responses using the mark schemes as success criteria.

This extensive English Language Paper 1 (2020) resource could be used as feedback after students have completed the paper independently or it could be used as an introductory lead into this paper.

I hope that you find this useful.
