2025 Predicted English Lit Paper 2 exams: Blood Brothers, Power & Conflict, Unseen Poetry (AQA)
AQA style GCSE English Literature 2 exam papers on Blood Brothers, Power & Conflict and Unseen Poetry, based on what I anticipate might come up this year.
The unseen poems are obviously unpredictable, but this pack includes six pairs of poems that have not been included in AQA exams in the past: each has a part (i) task on the first unseen poem, which is then thematically linked to the part (ii) poem for the 8-mark comparison task.
I have no inside knowledge in terms of what will be on the exams - this is done by considering aspects such as typical extract length, question styles etc. that AQA use and eliminating anything that has already appeared on their published SAMS and past papers.
Extremely useful if you want full sets of English Literature exam papers that don’t cover past content that clearly won’t come up again!

This SoW is ready to go. Decorated and video clips included complete with challenge activities.
This covers the play 'Romeo and Juliet'. The SoW is based on watching the Baz Luhrmann version of the play and then extracts of key scenes to analyse and base creative writing on.
It focuses on conflict, male aggression, character development and how these things link to contextual information.
There are a couple of writing tasks including describing the scene at the Capulet's masquerade, challenging Romeo to a duel as Tybalt, and a persuasive speech as to who is to blame for Mercutio's death.
A Christmas Carol GCSE Revision Board Game
The board will need to be printed on A3 and could be laminated for reuse. This is a really good way of getting students to revisit their learning and knowledge of the characters, themes, context and events of the novella in a fun and independent way.
I have used this before and the students really enjoy it. All you will need it some dice to play.
You could get students to think of their own questions and tasks too as an extension/challenge.
