A whole lesson on figurative language techniques- metaphor, simile, adjectives, personification, pathetic fallacy, onomatopoeia and sensory description.
This resource includes a clear and colourful 30 slide Powerpoint, ready to print worksheets, a quiz and a class game.
After a brief introduction, students are encouraged to identify the techniques used in a short extract and comment on the effect.
There is also a worksheet with an examples/definitions matching activity and students write their own examples using the devices studied in the lesson.
Finally there is an interactive class game, where students work in a pair or a team. After looking at an image prompt, students then take it in turns to craft a description using one of the techniques for a certain amount of points.
Suitable for KS3 creative writing lessons or as an introduction to AQA Paper 1 Q5 descriptive writing for KS4.

This comprehensive PowerPoint, when printed (or emailed) as a booklet, can be used as an English Language intervention and also makes an ideal revision aid. It is modelled on the AQA 9-1 GCSE English Language new specification and includes eight sessions covering both paper one and paper two helping pupils to feel more prepared for their exams.
With over 140 slides, this booklet has a series of easy to follow activities, exam questions and model answers for each of the ten questions of the GCSE. Each session is designed for students to be able to work through independently, or in small groups.
Personally, I have given it as revision to my students, where they work through the booklet in their own time and use what they have learned on the homework tasks - which I then mark and give feedback on and my pupils have enjoyed the challenges and gained confidence in their exam technique. It could be used for isolation and exclusion tasks, extra revision, class work, homework, for intervention groups, or for GCSE re-sit students.
The tasks are aimed at enabling pupils to obtain a grade 5 or above.
Skills from all six AQA Assessment Objectives of the English Language course are included, along with extracts from the mark scheme and starter tasks centered around improving the AO6 and grammar skills of the students.
There are four GCSE practice papers included:
Paper One - Dracula
Paper One - The Red Room
Paper Two - Bank Robberies
Paper Two - Prisons
Please check out my other resources.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Five lessons on developing speeches and presenting them for the GCSE English Language Spoken Language assessment. Includes student-friendly mark schemes, writing frames, model examples, differentiated activities, example speeches and more.

An attractive powerpoint with a link to 12 different songs sung in different languages across the world from Spanish to Japanese. Ideal for European Day of languages or fun lessons/clubs in MFL.
Here are my model answers to questions 1 to 5 of the AQA Language Paper 1 exam where the exam was based on an extract from Life of Pi. They may be useful for students who want to know how they could have improved on their mock.
The extract and questions are available on the AQA website.
Each answer has been written to try and aim for the top band of the mark scheme.
For Q5, I chose to do the story rather than the description.
