This PowerPoint contains four one-hour lessons that focus on GCSE English Language Paper 2, Questions 1-4. All tasks are designed for the 9-1 AQA English Language: Paper Two (8700). All four lessons center on two sources (provided in Word format). Whilst AO1, 2 & 3 are covered, a particular focus is placed on ‘Sophisticated Subject Terminology’ needed for a Level 4 in AO2. Whilst neither of the sources are Victorian, they do give the students a chance to practise the skills of the qualification. Some slides were used and adapted from resources available on TES from CarlaBrennan and fusbal (and others). This resource is part of a 24 lesson scheme of work on Paper 2 - Section A that can be found here: https://goo.gl/43gTZy My Paper Two, Question Five scheme of work can be found here: https://goo.gl/UdQTg2 All of my English Language Resources - the entire qualification - can also be found in this bundle: https://goo.gl/aHVUca Please check out my other resources.

This well-presented pack focuses on AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1, Questions 1-5 (8700). There are four one-hour lessons covering each area of the exam paper, helping students feel more prepared for the exam. The lessons were planned to teach the exam skills thoroughly, though they could be used for revision lessons. Each lesson requires minimal preparation and is designed with pupil engagement in mind. With over sixty slides, this PowerPoint has a series of easy to follow activities with clear instructions and a variety of tasks. It focuses on assessment objectives and timings, aiming to give pupils a clear understanding of the exam and what is expected of them. The aim is to provide students with the skills and confidence needed to sit and conquer this exam paper on their own. Included are: independent, pair & group work tasks, opportunities for self and peer assessment, extension tasks, writing frames, homework tasks and, in the event of emergencies, a cover lesson work sheet (though, hopefully it won’t be needed). There is also a model answer for each question to help students engage with the mark scheme. Personally, I have found that, when using this series of papers and PowerPoints, students have grown in both confidence and ability on their way to achieving their target grades, commenting on the challenge that the lessons provide them with. This particular pack focuses on an extract from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘A Study In Scarlet’ and is provided in the style of the AQA English Language Paper One exam. Additionally, this pack includes a copy of Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart Of Darkness’ with exam questions as a homework task. All resources are fully editable so that you can tailor to suit the needs of your class. Lesson One – Questions 1 & 2 Lesson Two – Question 3 Lesson Three – Question 4 Lesson Four – Question 5 with a focus detailed descriptions To see the YouTube video walk through, click here.

This is a differentiated copy of the ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ by R. L. Stevenson in Microsoft Word format. Many of my students disengage with the novel due to the complex vocabulary. When reading through it with them, I highlighted every word that they stumbled on or were unfamiliar with. I then found easier synonyms for these words and added them to the text in brackets. My students can now engage with the text a lot easier as a result. The whole differentiated novel is 51 pages in total and each chapter begins on a new page for ease of printing. This is part of my 24 lesson scheme of work on the novel, which can be found here.

This PowerPoint contains ten activities in total (listed below). These are designed to be given out during a cover lesson, homework, revision activity or as a starter activity in class.

Students have to use this information to complete the quote and fill in the crossword.
