Three thoroughly planned lessons (31 slides) for Paper One practice. These three lessons guide students through Questions 1 - 5 in the Paper 1 exam using a past paper. If you only want to focus on teaching the non-fiction text ‘Chinese Cinderella’ then I advise you focus solely on Lesson 2. I have also attached the past paper I use (available from Edexcel website) for convenience. I have created student example answers to encourage students to reflect on what each question requires from them. Please note that I have attached the past Question paper purely for your convenience.
