A grade 9 response to the question about how Dickens presents ideas about joy and happiness in A Christmas Carol. In yellow, I have the moments in the essay that do most to push the response into band 6 at the top of the mark scheme through the sensitive exploration word connotations and wider interpretations. Also included is the essay converted into 6 revision cards to make revision easier. Also contains a 24 slide lesson guiding students on how to create an exam response with perceptive inferences aimed at meeting A02 and A03. Also contains two high grade responses side by side so students can judge which should go into level 5 and which should go into level 6. This always leads to fruitful discussions.

20 Revision flash cards for 20 key quotations in Macbeth that encourage students to explore the impact of the quotations in a thorough and perceptive way. The cards are colour coded to link to assessment objectives A01, A02 and A03 and the methods are underlined. In each I try and ensure the analysis of the method leads directly on to a discussion of Shakespeare’s intentions and big ideas - informed by the Jacobean context. I recommend giving students the blank version first to find out what they can already say about each quotation before sharing the cards so they can identify the gaps in their knowledge.

6 poems thematically linked to mother’s day to develop unseen poetry skills. The 3 sets of poems are linked in thematically and in terms of difficulty. For each poem students must identify the big idea/message about motherhood and then identify 3 poetic methods to comment on. Neatly adapted onto one A3 sheet for ease of printing which makes it ideal for either a carousel style lesson or a cover lesson. As a follow up lesson, students can write up their answers to the 24 mark single poem analysis and the 8 mark comparison.

A lesson focusing on AQA Paper 1 Question 4 an extract from Lord of the Flies as the stimulus. Includes detailed advice on how to approach the question, annotations of the extract and a model exemplar.

I have collated what I consider to be the most important 80+ quotations onto one document. There are lots of ways students and teachers can use this resource. One is to pick a certain number to really focus on and build on developing inferences for them in the same way as the two examples I have provided. Students may also want to find different ways of grouping the quotations together such as by different themes to help prepare for any question that might come up in the exam. I have also included a version with key words missing so students can add the key word. This works well as a starter. Also contains a random generator powerpoint that works well as a bell activity.
