These files contain a plethora of metacognitive questions. They are excellent tools which are used to punctuate your lessons with ease. You can either choose questions from the board and include them in your PPT or use these as a part of peer/self assessment at any point of your lesson. I have created two groups of questions which have been categorised in the following ways: 1) The first set of questions have been differentiated into 'Challenge, Stretch and Super Stretch' files. 2) The second set of questions have been organised into questions that help students at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of both reading and writing tasks. Of course, you are advised to use your own colour-coding system for your ease of use.

This has proved to be an incredibly useful resource; every one of our year 11 students are required to bring their copy of this pack to every English lesson and intervention class to use as a point of reference. It contains two thorough ten page documents including the following: A title page with an inspiration quote (always nice). Data tracking sheets for English Language and Literature, in which students or staff can log student progress using question-level analysis. Space for students to identify their area(s) of progress and to create a progress plan. A bank of independent study tasks for students to choose from (this is useful when setting homework). * Prompting questions to help students to think carefully about their own progress and the circumstances surrounding it. A breakdown of each exam, including AOs, percentages, marks, etc. Advice for how to structure responses to every question in the Language and Literature qualification.* Planning tips for reading and writing. Four tables (one per paper), listing the relevant subject terminology for every paper and examples of how to use them in practice.* Example extracts and questions (attached separately). English Language and Literature PLCs, adapted from PiXL, as I considered these too vague.* Pages with asterisks next to them differ slightly across both packs, as one is tailored towards students in high sets, and the other for students in low sets. I have provided word documents as these are lengthy, so you may find it useful to condense the documents for lower sets and use the document attached for students in middle sets.

This SOL includes 24 lessons in total (including a mid-assessment and an end of unit assessment). Each lesson is detailed and fully differentiated using a 3 tier (challenge, stretch and super stretch) system for starter activities and main tasks. All accompanying resources, including relevant extracts from the play, are included in this SOL; they are all ready for printing. It explores the Shakespeare text 'Much Ado About Nothing' using the skills required to succeed in Section A of Reading Paper 2 (AQA English Language). These skills are explored through the source text and through thematic non-fiction texts. It teaches context, summary skills, comparison skills and the all-important AO2 language skills. This was made with the purpose of supporting our department (of mainly new staff and trainee teachers) by having lessons that we only needed to tweak for the needs of our students, instead of spending hours struggling to invent the same wheel individually. This SOL can be used for higher ability students in years 9-11.
