A handout for KS3 & KS4 pupils.
Designed to help with language analysis and zooming in on key words and phrases.
Includes connectives for argument.
This is a handout for KS3/KS4 Students & Teachers.
I made this because my Year 11s were begging me for a handout that clearly shows them multiple ways of explaining the effects of language. They struggle with variety in their answers and many found this helpful!
The handout also clearly explains how to properly analyse ‘imagery’ (often poorly understood) and ‘connotations.’
A KS3 handout explaining the different sentence types: declarative, exclamatory, interrogative and Imperative.
Students must correctly identify the sentence type and punctuate accordingly.
7 PowerPoint slides with reading facts!
DEAR activities (drop everything and read).
Health & Wellbeing Facts about reading.
Attainment facts about reading.
Real-world statistics about reading.
This contains:
A beautiful handout on how to correctly paragraph :)
A paragraphing activity/worksheet on page 2.
A poster on paragraphing, using the acronym TiP ToP
This is a clear, simplified handout on AQA’s English AOs for KS3 and KS4. The handout explains each of the AOs (with helpful definitions and tips). Students can stick these in the front of their books and even print them off as revision posters!
If you mark noting AOs, students can refer back to these in their books! This endeavours to help famililarise pupils with the GCSE mark scheme.
VERY USEFUL FOR KS4 STUDENTS!
