A Level English Language Representation Theory Grid
Clear, blank grid for the new A Level English Language Section B.
This grid has been created in response to the AQA 2017 exam, in which students were asked to consider how gender is represented through language.
Great to use whilst studying gender and preparing for Section B or as a revision aid in the lead up to the exam.
The grid allows students to visually display the following information:
Theorist and Date (This column is flood filled with theorists that I have selected, but can be adapted and changed as necessary)
Features of the theory and definitions of any key terms
Studies used to support the theory
Criticisms of the theory
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Macbeth: Plot Card Sort Revision Activity: AQA English Literature
A card sort activity which allows pupils to revise the plot of Macbeth in detail.
The cards are designed to be placed beneath each of the headers for the five acts on page 1 of the document. (Each header specifies how many cards should be placed beneath it)
There are 23 cards included in the revision resource that provide a detailed summary of each Act, with some including key quotations.
The cards are currently colour coded and in chronological order (numbered in brackets) for teacher’s reference, but this can easily be adapted when printing for students.
This would work well as an independent, paired or whole class task for all abilities.
As an extension, pupils could link the cards with key themes and contextual information.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: Context and Themes Revision 'Clock' Organiser: AQA English Literature
This excellent revision resource allows pupils to revise the key themes and contextual features of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
The ‘clock’ is split in half, with one half focused on context and the other on key themes.
All key themes and contextual headings are listed, with clear chapter numbers given for pupils’ reference. Copies of the text will be required if pupils are using the template to find ‘killer’ quotations.
This activity encourages independent revision, but also ensures that the revision is focused. Further independent reading can also be used to develop their notes.
Once the activity is complete, I would encourage pupils to anticipate how these key themes may be phrased as a question and how they could apply their contextual understanding to this.
