Included: 100 Question Quiz Answers & 100 Question Quiz Sheet
A 100 Question quiz on ‘An Inspector Calls’. Questions start with context and then progress through the play. Made for KS4. Can be used as a revision tool near exams or used during reading to consolidate knowledge. The questions are in order of the plot to avoid spoilers if used in this way! I use this quiz every lesson, particularly for my lower ability students. It has a positive effect on recall and familiarity with the play, context and quotes. I make it into a weekly challenge to get as many as possible right, with bonus points for any quotations used. Top three students are placed on the leaderboard in the classroom, which acts as a great motivator!
Great for EAL students to understand the plot without having to translate the whole text. My Spanish student wrote on the top of her quiz: “Thank-you Miss, I find these [sic] resource so helpful”.
A resource useful for helping students memorise quotes from the 'Power and Conflict' cluster of the AQA Poetry Anthology. The quiz is a cloze procedure with two quotes from each poem. The final two pages are the answers.
This is useful for Y10/11 students who need more scaffolding in choosing quotes to memorise.
Over a series of ten lessons, enable students to create their speeches for the Speaking and Listening segment of their AQA English Language exam. This booklet is built so students have a feel of independence in their learning. It guides them to create two speeches: one about a prescribed topic, and one of their own choosing. It is fantastic choice for meaningful cover work, as every task is in the booklet ready for students to complete.
It includes a refresher on rhetorical devices, a speech to annotate, spaces to plan and write their own speeches, spaces to create cue cards and a simplified mark scheme to help guide their work.

On the reverse side, it explores the key themes of MRS ABC: Morality, Responsibility, Socialism vs communism, Age, Blame and Class. It further explores the context, considering Britain at the time, Priestley, and a theory to explain that controversial ending.

This poetry booklet is for AQA Literature Paper 2: Power and Conflict. This booklet is intended for the first time you teach this series of poetry, as there will be highly detailed information at the student’s fingertips. The Knowledge Organisers (included) are an excellent revision tool. Instead of one massive organiser for all the poems, this booklet has one for each poem, ensuring you can teach poem by poem, and master each individually.
This booklet contains:
Eight of the poems (Exposure, Bayonet Charge, Remains, Poppies, COTLB, War Photographer, The Emigree and Kamikaze) with space to annotate
A Knowledge Organiser after every poem: each one is an A4 page with information on context, vocabulary, language analysis, structural analysis, key quotations, and apt comparison choices
A ‘quote explosion’ after each KO which can be filled by the student to structure independent language analysis
A handy mnemonic for key themes
Overall key vocabulary

Do you students drop a quotation in their answer and not explore it to its full capacity?
Do your students forget to analyse?
Is AO3 nowhere to be found? Or plonked on the end of an essay with no integration to the answer?
Then this worksheet is for your classes!
This sheet guides students through analysis of a quotation step-by-step, covering AO1, AO2 and AO3 for English Literature. It can be used with any text - all you have to do is add what quotation you want your students to focus on. It then can be used as a scaffold for students to write their own PETAL answers.

This is a full Scheme of Work for Animal Farm: it includes 27 full lessons (all in one file for convenience) including resources, the text in PDF form, a lesson-by-lesson plan and an assessment. The lessons include 10 reading lessons complete with comprehension questions, an in-depth exploration of communist Russia, creative writing lessons (including diaries, scripts and speeches) and analysis of the text complete with PETAL style written questions.
This SoW was made for a strong Year 8/9 class who have studied rhetoric previously; alternatively it could be easily edited to suit a class who haven’t studied this previously.
The SoW has an assessment question built in, which is “Is using rhetoric to advance an agenda more morally justifiable than using violence?” This however could be changed with minimal complications.
