AQA Paper 1 Question 3 (Structure) Lesson using opening to Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.

(0)
This lesson is focused on Paper 1 Question 3 (AQA - commenting on the structure of the whole text). This seems to be a popular topic for interviews at the moment. I have used a very short extract with lots of shifts which widen and narrow the focus - Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie. Starter: Students rate their understanding of structural devices. Construct: Students try to identify narrative shifts in focus in the text. Main: Students look in more detail at the narrative shifts in the text. This activity is in the form of an A3 table and is differentiated. Bronze Level: Identify what is happening during each shift. Silver: Apply structural devices. Gold: Comment on the effect of structural devices. I have also included the lesson plan. For a more challenging class, students can use the extract from the opening of Kite Runner.
