Another set of activities, in a booklet, to help students get to grips with one of the more challenging texts in the Anthology - 'Water, Water Everywhere - But You Can't Have Any' from The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World’s Most Glorious and Perplexing City – David Lebovitz (p. 148 of the Anthology). It has a combination of language analysis activities, work to help students focus in on author intention, dictionary work, summarising, highlighting tasks and a longer task on how Paris is represented in the extract. It could be a class activity or a homework extension.

This is a bundle of resources and a SOW for tackling Arthur Miller’s ‘All My Sons’ for the Dramatic Encounters element of the AQA A Level English Language & Literature qualification (new spec). The SOW spans 14 weeks, although this is based on my centre, which has 90 minute sessions (there was one lesson per week on the play). It provides directed reading activities, starters, extract analyses and presentations on aspects of the play. Some sample essay questions are provided. Quizzes to test understanding, sometimes mentioned in the SOW, can be found on Moodle: search for username ‘KeriLO’. There is also a revision booklet. (Where I refer to PETE paragraphs, this means Point, Evidence, Technical Term, Elaboration - it’s something we use here to encourage students to write in enough detail.)

This revision pack is intended for the new AQA LangLit specification. It's for the Dramatic Encounters: Exploring Conflict element of the second paper for those centres doing Arthur Miller's 'All My Sons'. It contains: - Clear information about the format of the exam - An easy-to-understand explanation of the Assessment Objectives covered - Elements which could be written about for AO1 - A list of some of the possible areas of 'conflict' which could appear in the exam question - Detailed information on AO3 (context) - Some of the broader considerations of the play, such as moral responsibility - Some of my own 'made up' exam questions, which are in line with the sample material currently available.

A series of PowerPoint presentations with embedded discussion and written activities, plus a number of stretch and challenge extension tasks, aimed at students studying John Donne for the new AQA AS English Language & Literature specification. Useful for all learner abilities and may be a useful support for revision. Contents: John Donne and the Theme of Love The Flea Air and Angels The Apparition The Anniversary Elegy V A Valediction Against Mourning

This resource includes a complete SOW for teaching this novel for the new AS English Language & Literature specification (AQA). Because there’s a great deal to fit into the AS year, the scheme runs over twelve weeks (our sessions run for ninety minutes.) Included are: - A 24 page Scheme of Work with activities, links, how work can be assessed, differentiation and space to self-evaluate how the sessions have gone - A range of PowerPoint presentations, clearly linked to the appropriate week. Presentations embed written skills, a range of activities and are linked to AQA specifications - Worksheets and writing frames for student support, again all clearly numbered and linked to the SOW - A reading record for students.

Harvest by Jim Crace. Paper 2 of the AQA English LIterature B syllabus - Political and Social Protest Writing. This range of resources covers every chapter of the book by turn. It uses comprehension, recap, discussion and mind-mapping to build written skills. We taught this text for Section C (alongside Blake) but if your text combinations are different or you teach this text for Section B, there is still plenty of relevant material throughout. There is also a reading log, and two sets of revision session resources to revisit at the end of the term/year. Please note that where the resources mention an exemplar, this refers to the exemplar material available via AQA itself. References to the text refer to the Picador paperback edition (2013).

This is a selection of activities based on a selection of spoken language and transcript texts from the AQA English Language and Literature Paris Anthology. Please note that these resources also appear in a complete bundle of activities based on the whole anthology. This is a range of activities based on: Lonely Planet - Fine French Food Lonely Planet - Visiting Paris Memories of Places in Paris - Isabelle and Sophia Eating in Paris - Mike, Isabelle and Sophia Visiting Paris - Mike and Sophia Personal narratives - Zara and Anna Stories are Waiting in Paris There is a range of teacher-led and student-led activities with scope for independent learning and/or homework.

This is a bundle of resources which I've used in the past for teaching A Level English Language - Language Change Over Time, which could still be useful on the new specification. These are a range of activities and presentations which aim to get across main areas of context for key centuries, as well as offering specific examples of texts which students could use to analyse, discuss etc. In keeping with the new specification I have also offered pairs of texts from different time periods on the same theme.

This set of resources contains a number of presentations, tasks and a guide booklet tailored towards a bite-sized approach to the new specification coursework. It assumes that you will be taking students through the different elements in class, with scope for them to then go away and work independently. I make mention of 'the textbook' on some of the slides - I'm referring to the Cambridge textbook. I've left this on (the book has been useful!) but feel free to remove if you're not using it. I go through: - Getting started on the NEA - Different kinds of investigations - The importance of data and research - The introduction and methodology sections (with examples) - The analysis section - Concluding and evaluating (with examples) - An introduction to the original writing component - An introduction to style models, with a short sample text - Writing the commentary (with an embedded mark scheme). This has worked well for my students this year. I hope it's useful to some of you!

This is a range of activities intended to support: **AQA English Language and Literature - Paris Anthology ** There is a range of different activities on each of the texts, taking a number of different approaches. There are specific language focuses throughout, to encourage students to get to grips with the ‘language levels’ AQA encourages. The activities range from planning grids, to sample assessment questions, to presentations (many of which are interactive and could be used for independent study) and structured booklets. I have also included some introductory grammar resources, which will help students to work with the texts. I make mention of two acronyms during the resources - PETE paragraphs (point, evidence, technical term, explain/elaborate) and GAPS - discussing a text’s genre, audience, purpose and structure. These could easily be modified to fit in with your centre’s usual methods. There is an abundance of material here which I hope you will find helpful.
