AQA English Language GCSE, Paper 1 Section A: Question 3 Structure Lesson (1984)

(9)
My students have struggled to get to grips with the structure question (question 3) on the new Paper 1, Section A exam for AQA. I recently attended an AQA support meeting and planned this lesson to incorporate some of the exam board's messages with regards to teaching the structure question. My students produced mucher better responses to question 3 after I went through this lesson with them. The lesson is focused on the opening of '1984' and includes 15 slides plus a copy of the extract to use with students. Includes: Sample 8 mark answer Planning grid for students Clear and explicit links to the AQA markscheme Key terminology and suggested phrases Hope it helps!
