Now we are several years into the new syllabus, I predict they might go for a more obscure extracts.
I have been through the text and come up with 6 predictions about extracts that might come up in 2024.
Students read each extract and complete the planning grid for each. Ideal to use in a final revision lesson.
Also includes a planning resource which offers 3 levels of differentiation to help guide students on how to structure a full length response on the following 4 themes/topics: children, materialism, ghosts, Christmas.
Tier 1 difficulty (I do): Big idea, topic sentences and quotations are provided. Students add the analysis of the quotations.
Tier 2 difficulty (We do): Students must choose 2 quotations to support each topic sentence and analyse the quotations.
Tier 3 difficulty (You do): Students have to generate the big idea, the topic sentences, 2 quotations a paragraph and the quotation analysis.
6 revision cards covering 6 quotations linked to the theme of supernatural in A Christmas Carol. The detailed explanation of the quotations are linked to the 3 A0s and authorial methods are underlined.
Also contains a revision sheet with 30 quotations linking to the supernatural.
Also contains critical perspectives about the witches.
