GCSE English Language - Paper 2 Question 4 - comparison practice workbook

The resource begins with a 5-to-start which are 5 questions used as a quick recall of english techniques and terms.

This then follows 2 extracts with tables to fill in for each with the column titles “what is the writer thinking or feeling”, “evidence” and “explanation”. This allows students to practice their critical thinking and analysis skills and the teacher can go through this together as a class.

As a small side-activity, there is also a page with questions such as find quotes in both extracts that show for example - “personification”. This provides students the opportunity to practice their language and literary techniques.

Following this, there is a “fill in the gap” for a model comparison paragraph between both extracts. This is to allow students to gain insight of what is expected of them in their writing for the question.

Last but not least, students have the opportunity to put their skills into practice and write a comparison paragraph of their own.

This excellent resource will allow students to gain deeper confidence in approaching the question.
