Then then have to annotate each sentence to analyse what the essay writer is doing in each section of the response.
There is also a building better answers sheet included.

There are a huge amount of resources here. To help make it easier, I recommend opening the following two files first.
In the file named ‘Romeo and Juliet 2025’ I have collated all the resources onto one document with easy to follow file names to make it easier to find the resources you want.
In the file named Romeo and Juliet revision guide 2023 I have collated an 106 page revision booklet to help start make the resources more ready to go.
Useful when teaching sentences within a wider Romeo and Juliet SOW.
The worksheet looks at how to use embedded clauses, subordinate clauses, semi colons and colons.
Comprehension questions to complete on a first reading of Stone Cold by Robert Swindells.
Includes at least one question on every chapter.
Useful for developing scanning skills to retrieve information from the text.
The page numbers are the same in the various versions of the book I have taught from over the years.
Use this test if you want to find out if your students have read the whole of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ instead of just watching the movie. All the questions test students on incidents that occur in the book but not in the film.
