GCSE to A Level Transition: Introduction to Sentence Structures

GCSE to A Level Transition: Introduction to Sentence Structures

(0)
The academic jump between GCSE and A level is significant. Often there isn’t a transition program or materials in place, and some students struggle. I have created an ever-growing set of materials to compensate for this skill’s gap and students have found these materials incredibly helpful. I have used these materials after students have completed their GCSEs and indicated that they are planning to move onto ‘A’ level, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision. All have worked well for the students. This power point lesson focuses on ´Sentence structure´ – this is essential knowledge. Through a series of structured exercises: the students learn how to interpret and different sentence structures and adopt this skill into their academic writing. Colourful and interactive, I have received good feedback on this lesson. This is a complete resource. Enjoy.
