A complete analysis of the minuet of the Eine Kleine Nachtmusik set work from Eduqas GCSE Music. This is at least 3 full lessons with differentiated tasks and worksheets which ensures students annotate their scores correctly. There is also a summary lesson to test their learning at the end of the analysis and performance.
For the performance parts please see the free resources on my page.
A worksheet focusing solely on Eduqas English Language Paper 1 Question 1 - retrieving 5 pieces of information from the text.
There are 10 examples to work through.
Useful when teaching sentences within a wider Romeo and Juliet SOW.
The worksheet looks at how to use embedded clauses, subordinate clauses, semi colons and colons.
Learning outcomes:
To understand a code for identifying language features in Shakespeare (word level, imagery, structure)
To Apply understanding by locating the language features in key quotations.
To evaluate the effect of the language features.
Romeo and Juliet Starter: Finish off each key quote. I use an activity like this regularly because the AQA 2017 examination is a closed book examination.
