Language Paper 2 Question 4 Tyson Fury

Language Paper 2 Question 4 Tyson Fury

(1)
A lesson aimed at low ability boys which uses the topic of Tyson Fury to teach the skills required for Language Paper 2 Question 4. Rather than use a 19th century text, I chose to use two 21st century texts to provoke the comparison to help build the comparative skills required for this question… Students read two articles about Fury. One was written in 2020 and one in 2015 when Fury was a more controversial figure. They then find quotations and follow a writing frame to compare the writers’ viewpoints about Fury in the two texts. There is also an example grade 6 paragraph to help guide students. I have also added a similar task looking at two contrasting articles about Peppa Pig. This works well with introducing KS3 students to the style of question they will encounter at KS4.

Squealer Animal Farm

Squealer Animal Farm

(0)
Lesson introducing the character of Squealer. It starts by looking at adjectives to describe Squealer and his function of the play. Then students make inferences about 11 Squealer quotations and then compare their explanations to my teacher explanations. The lesson is aimed at a mid ability class. However, there are some concepts aimed more at higher ability students such as obfuscation and gas-lighting and contextual links to Molotov and Pravda that can be explored in greater depth with higher-ability classes.

Language Paper 1 Q5. Using a mix simple, compound, complex sentences in writing to describe

(0)
Worksheets aimed at helping students consciously use a range of simple, compound and complex sentences to describe an image. Task 1: Students combine the sentences already provided to describe the image. Task 2: Students must come up with their own examples of simple, compound and complex sentences and then produce their description. This task is very repeatable - just change the image each time. It is worth repeating until students find it easy to come up with simple, compound and complex sentence examples.

Grade 9 Bayonet Charge and Remains (2017 question)
HMBenglishresources1984HMBenglishresources1984

Grade 9 Bayonet Charge and Remains (2017 question)

(0)
A grade 9 response to the AQA May 2017 power and conflict question in which Bayonet Charge was the named poem. This response was completed in 45 minutes so replicates the amount of writing expected within the time frame of the examination. In other grade 9 power and conflict responses on Tes I wrote comparative-style paragraphs. For this essay I used a different method. In the first half of the essay I focused solely on the named poem Bayonet Charge and then referred back to Bayonet Charge in the second half of the response when analysing Remains. Both methods are effective. This resource can also be purchased as part of the bundle of multiple grade 9 power and conflict comparative responses: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-grade-9-model-essays-12213236 Or as part of a bigger bundle covering revision materials for all 15 poems: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-bundle-2018-11881499

HMBenglishresources1984HMBenglishresources1984

Grade 9 response about Romeo and Juliet's relationship.

(0)
A grade 9 critical and exploratory response to an exam-style generic question about how Romeo and Juliet’s relationship develops during the play. Also contains a response adapted for a question on Romeo’s feelings for Juliet. I have included the extract and a brief examiner commentary to help explain why the response would achieve grade 9. The response is 662 words along which is about the average length of a grade 9 essay in 45 minutes of exam conditions. Also available as part of a group of model responses: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/romeo-and-juliet-grade-9-grade-8-and-grade-7-model-responses-to-aqa-gcse-questions-11580421
