<p>This is a bundle of character and theme essay plans for the WJEC A Level English Language and Literature exam on ‘King Lear’. The notes are very detailed and could be applied to other exam boards studying this text. There are 12 essay plans on the main themes and characters in the play. I created these essay plans to prepare for my exam and achieved an A*. They are an excellent resource for teachers or for students doing independent revision. Please note that at the time of taking the exam, critical interpretation was not part of the WJEC syllabus so is not reflected in the essays.</p>

<p>This lesson guides pupils through the GCSE synthesis question with a starter activity looking at how the synthesis question is worded. Pupils then look at an example of a synthesis response that would be awarded full marks (not linked to any text they have looked at) to work out how to set out answer. Pupils will then complete a synthesis question and peer assess their answers. There is also a lesson plan attached with the resources and the standard of the lesson was considered ‘excellent’ when observed.</p> <p>You will need the summer 2018 Unit 3 resource material. The link will take you to that paper:</p> <p><a href="http://pastpapers.download.wjec.co.uk/s18-3700u30-1a.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://pastpapers.download.wjec.co.uk/s18-3700u30-1a.pdf</a></p>
