Ann exemplar response to the 2017 AQA Romeo and Juliet question on male aggression.
The extract is placed next to the exemplar.
I have pitched it at a grade 7/8 level so students can spend time examining how to improve it further to help meet the grade 9 criteria by exploring the impact of how methods shape meanings for A02 in more depth while also being more assured when considering context and wider ideas for (A03).
3 intervention catch-up sessions aimed at Paper 2 Question 3.
Each session looks at a short extract and includes annotations, a model paragraph and a writing frame for students who require it.
Students then use the model to attempt their own paragraph in the same style on a different quotation.
A complete resource to introduce and teach a full analysis of the Eduqas AoS1 set work for first examination 2022 ‘Bach’s Badinerie’.
There are two lessons which introduce the set work ‘Bach’s Badinerie’ by giving an understanding of Baroque music, the composer, instrumentation and the larger suite Badinerie is taken from.
This leads into a full analysis of section A (and a summary) and section B (and a summary).
All resources have graded success criteria for each task and are therefore fully differentiated. The worksheets ensure students annotate their scores with all necessary information and are differentiated according to target grade.
Homework ideas are provided as well as criteria for any performing of the piece you may wish to do.
Where answers are required they are on the PPs.
A timeline revision activity where students track and explain Romeo key quotations across the play to help understand how his character develops across the play.
Includes an answer sheet. I give this out at the end of the lesson for students to compare their answers to.
Ideal revision activity in the run up to the May exam.
Analytical verbs and phrases to help sharpen critical analysis in both English language and English literature.

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.
