GCSE English Structure

This teaching resource includes a PowerPoint presentation and a booklet designed to help students analyze and understand the structure and atmosphere of a text. The resource is broken down into five clear activities:

Vocabulary Match-Up: Students will match terms related to structural features, helping them familiarize themselves with key terminology.
Reading Comprehension: Students will read a provided text and answer questions based on a “Question 1 and 2” format, focusing on understanding and interpreting the text.
Textual Analysis: After reading the full text, students will identify five structural features that apply to the text, enhancing their ability to recognize and analyze how a text is constructed.
Atmosphere and Structure Reflection: A set of thought-provoking questions will guide students to reflect on how the structure of the text contributes to its atmosphere.
Storyboard Creation: Students will visually map out the text’s events through a storyboard, helping them visualize key elements of the narrative.
The PowerPoint provides both the tasks and answers, while the accompanying booklet includes example student responses from a past exam (November 2019 Paper), allowing students to step into the role of an examiner. In the final activity, students will use the T-rex insert from the paper to craft their own answers, applying everything they’ve learned in the process.

This resource offers a comprehensive and interactive way for students to practice and improve their analytical writing skills in relation to structural features and atmosphere, while also giving them insight into marking and assessment.
