I used this to prepare my students for a mock exam. I got students to plan and write their talk, then some to model their ideas on the IWB and as a class we gave feedback on structure and language.

Created for use with KS4 exam preparation. A useful activity, allowing students to identify ways of improving an example of a report, it helps to focus their understand of what is required from this type of task. Could also be adapted for KS3. Please leave feedback if you find it useful.

I can't claim credit for some of the work here! I begged and borrowed worksheets from other TES users to put the whole lesson together. There&'s a lot to get through in an hour, I required two in the end. Could be adapted for KS3 also. Please leave feedback if you find it useful.

A set of approximately 12 lessons for use with the reading of 'Storm Catchers' by Tim Bowler. Include language analysis of extracts, chapters and characters and has some opportunities for drama freeze framing. There is some preparation for an assessment (impressions question) towards the end. Hope it's useful - my classes love this book!

As we all know, learning quotations is vital for success in the new GCSEs. I created this PPT of revision starter activities and used it with my class last academic year. They could also be used for plenaries or mini homeworks. Here’s how I used this resource: students were given ten minutes at the start of a lesson to complete the task either individually or collaboratively, but with no teach input. These activities stimulated some excellent discussion, especially the Venn diagram tasks. There are three different types of task: Name the poem & poet from the quote. This type of slide also contains two challenge tasks (stating other poems to compare with, linking with context, explaining the quotes). Venn diagrams asking students to compare or contrast specified poems. Asking students to link poems by theme, recall three quotes from each and explain them.

This is tailored to the WJEC/Eduqas mark scheme, assessment objectives could easily be replaced to suit your exam board.
