A Christmas Carol: Revising 25 key extracts for A01, A02 and A03 (Revision Booklet)
In this six page A3 revision booklet, students read 25 carefully selected key extracts covering all Staves. It usually takes around 2/3 lessons for students to complete the booklet or you can set it as an extended homework task.
After reading each extract, students must complete the following process:
WHAT: Identify what ideas are being communicated in each extract and pick 2 quotations. (A01)
HOW: Analyse how the use of methods and language in the extract impacts meaning. (A02)
WHY: Consider why Dickens made the decisions he did. What was his wider message within the context of the 19th century. (A03)

Grade 9 Lord of the Flies response on Roger
A Grade 9 909 word response answering a question that I have made up myself in the same style as AQA.
How does Golding use the character of Roger to explore ideas about evil? Write about:
• what Roger says and does
• how Golding uses Roger to explore ideas about evil.
The response would achieve Band 6 in the mark scheme because it has a conceptualised approach with a careful selection of judicious references from across the novel. There is fine-grained and insightful analysis of language
supported by judicious use of subject terminology as well as convincing exploration of contextual factors and different interpretations.
Macbeth: how to structure an exam response
4 detailed essay plans on Macbeth to convert into 4 essays.
The resource is differentiated with an easier and harder version.
There is a also a list of 100 quotations and explanations to support students.
A detailed success criteria is provided for each paragraph.
Great as a revision lesson or as a homework task.
Also contains help with thesis-style introductions.
‘A thesis-style introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can be a really helpful way of starting your answer. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you know what you think. It can provide a strong foundation for the rest of the essay. Keep referring back to the introduction to create a coherent response.’ AQA examiner’s report 2022
Creating a thesis-style introduction is a challenge for many students but is essential in helping students to reach levels 4-6 in the mark scheme. I have produced a simple 3 point structure to help students quickly generate a thesis statement in timed exam conditions. There is an example of the 3 point structure being used and then students attempt to imitate the structure for 4 other exam-style questions.
Lord of the Flies Chapter 1
A full lesson analysing Chapter 1.
Includes a context recap page, starter, comprehension questions and notes for students to annotate over 30 key quotations from the chapter.
