GCSE English: Write Four Things, List Four Things – Making Paper 1 Question 1 in to a Competion

I wanted to focus on P1Q1 in a lesson but didn’t want to exhaust my limited amount of past papers - so I came up with this - get the students to write the paragraph themselves.

This lesson can be quite a lot of fun!

As well as covering Assessment Objective 1 (AO1) – “identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas” – it also covers some ground in terms of AO5 and AO6. These are where writing skills come to the fore – candidatess must communicate clearly, adapt to a certain tone and style and organise their ideas (not to mention sentence structures, spelling and punctuation…).
