This resource includes a mini unit on AQA’s English Language paper 1, question 4 - notoriously the most challenging question on the paper. It was originally written for and used with a high ability year 9 group, but is equally suitable for years 10 or 11 classes.
There are approximately 3 lessons worth of learning included, with a PPT and all required resources. This includes:
- A 16 slide PPT
- a focus on a simple, short extract to begin with (from Harry Potter) to build skills, before moving on to something more challenging (The Book Thief)
- A possible planning approach to the question through characterisation, setting, perspective and atmosphere
- Guided questions for reading to enable pupils to think more carefully about and develop their opinions
- An exam style question for ‘The Book Thief’ extract, worked through with pupils in the PPT
- Sample ‘points’ that pupils could use to formulate a successful response to the question and used in a group writing activity
- selected quotes to analyse to help hone pupils’ language analysis skills
- guidance on extending their ideas to a full response
- 2 extracts from ‘The Book Thief’ to enable a further extension activity, if desired
