This is a completely original, never seen before resource, as it has been created by myself. I have used the GCSE criteria from both AQA and Edexcel to create a 1-9 style APP grid to help pupils to see what they need to do at each grade band in order to meet the criteria for each assessment objective for the new style GCSE paper 1, pre 1914 task. The bandings are based on where the skills would fall on old A*-C but ramped up for vigour, using the new terminology. You'll see when you look at the sheet. The question is styled on an AQA style question and is original - not the current AQA SAMs that are out there - so this gives you something new to work with. Not only that, the lesson then teaches students HOW to write an answer to a question that focusses on language and structure, naming the techniques. If you're struggling to teach the new GCSEs, the format of this lesson and the resources with it, will really help you! The whole resource is the assessment, marking sheet, full lesson and all of the lesson resources. The next lesson will be to give pupils their books back and get them to attempt to continue marking - after you have marked their work! Watch them make progress!
