English Language GCSE Paper 1 November 2017: tips, skills and example answers

This is a 40 slide powerpoint that takes students question by question through an English Language GCSE Paper: Paper 1, November 2017.

It includes exam tips on how to approach each question, with mark scheme descriptors and some example responses.The first four questions on English Language (November 2017) are reading and includes an annotated passage for question 2, suggested steps of how to approach quest. 3 with several example answers and suggestions of how to approach quest. 4 with example response extracts.

In order to prepare students for question 5 writing on English Language (November 2017) paper 1, it includes a suggestion of how to approach a description of the picture. As well as this there is an example descriptive paragraph that could be improved and one that is of a higher level. Towards the end of the powerpoint there are colour blocks that come on to each screen with suggested wider vocabulary to describe each colour e.g. ‘coral’ for orange. This could be used as a starter for preparing students for the writing section of the paper.

The whole powerpoint would take at least 4 lessons to work through.
