This new series replaces the traditional KS3 assessment criteria (APP or AF's) with NEW GCSE Assessment Objectives (AOs) However, that does not mean that the creativity and imagination need to be a thing of the past! In this new series of units, Key Stage Three pupils are introduced to NEW GCSE English Language Skills in creative and imaginative ways to build foundations and continuity for pupils as they progress through the key stages. The series is designed for teaching to pupils in years 7 or 8 but could also be used as an introductory GSCE foundation unit for Year 9 & 10 groups depending on ability.
The FIRST UNIT in the series(AO1,) uses engaging Roald Dahl texts, films and illustrations to fully introduce, explore and assess the first assessment objective with pupils.
The SECOND UNIT in the series (AO2 LANGUAGE) uses engaging extracts from Roald Dahl's fiction and non fiction texts, including 'The Witches,' 'Going Solo' and 'Boy', to fully introduce, explore and assess this crucial assessment objective with pupils.
The THIRD UNIT in the series (AO2 STRUCTURE) uses engaging extracts from Roald Dahl's fiction and non fiction texts, including 'James and the Giant Peach,' and 'Boy', to fully introduce, explore and assess this crucial assessment objective with pupils.
The FOURTH UNIT in the series (AO3 COMPARE) uses engaging extracts from Roald Dahl's non fiction texts, including 'Going Solo' and 'Boy', illustrations associated with Roald Dahl's writing and engaging videos (included in the power point) to fully introduce, explore and assess this crucial GCSE skill and assessment objective with pupils.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tailored to AQA spec, however, easily adaptable to new OCR, Edexcel & WJEC specifications. AO1 - 6 and the skills are universal across all exam boards. Simply adapt the exam question tags in each unit to match the placement of each AO and skill across each exam paper/question depending on the required exam board (5 minutes editing time).
The units are built around the official AQA Key Stage Three PILOT ASSESSMENT Material, copies of which are included in the download.

Excellent coverage and ideas for introducing the new GCSE specs at key stage 3. This still feels like a key stage 3 resource yet it addresses each GCSE skill thoroughly. Impressive!
