Analysing language through 4 opening excerpts

(0)
Analysing language; word choice, sentence structure, punctuation, tone and mood in 4excerpts; The Monkeys Paw, The Red Room, The Necklace and The Third Wish. I have completed the lesson for Monkeys Paw and have narrated a short video for students to listen to. The other excerpts which are included just need to replicated for the lesson. I have included a student guide for reference, tone and mood word banks, a worksheet in chart form where students are to complete it for homework and bring back in the classroom for further discussions and peer to peer feedback for improvement.

Two consecutive lessons on ppt, please use in the animated slide show for eliciting; The first is a variety of tasks and activities using skimming and scanning techniques. Skimming for the gist, retrieving specific information from 4 different texts ie pronoun phrases, adjectives, adverbs, listing in a prepared chart and words that students do not understand. The second lesson analyses how the writer achieves an effect on the reader through these words and phrases and considers how they affect the author's tone in the story. Students in their groups prepare a short presentation.

AQA GCSE English Language Exam 8700 Paper 2 Reading: Student Toolkit.

(0)
This is the 3rd toolkit I have compiled and adapted for students to use both in and out of the classroom. Total pages are 30 similar content as I have used in Paper 1 Reading and Writing. Including relevant definitions, tips, examples relevant words and phrase banks, all information is included in context to the second reading paper. In order for students to develop their use of vocabulary for appropriate situations and always have one place to look back to either use as a reference, guide and for revision. The more students look back to the same place they will increase their recall skills through what you might call subliminal repetition... Further relevant content has been added. Now in word format.

I have compiled and adapted 2 separate and complete toolkits for GCSE students to be used both in and out of the classroom. One toolkit is for the reading paper; AO2; Ques 2,3 and AO4, consists of 36 pages. The second toolkit is specifically for Writing AO5 and AO6, consists of 39 pages. Both contain all the background information needed for all the questions in Paper 1 except for AO1, in extreme detail; structure, language - what that entails , the AQA criteria, examples, tasks, definitions, how to answer the questions appropriately as well as 7 exerpts from texts or short stories, command words, literary definitions, word banks; descriptive and action words, as well as 7 picture prompts. This paper is extremely useful for students to constantly use to look back onto during lessons as well as revision, as a reference and for practice. Great for increasing student recal. The paper is also useful for teachers who will have all the necessary information and examples all in one place. Excellent for student resits. Can be uploaded to your favourite platforms. Please look out for further toolkits for AQA 8700 Paper 2. Toolkits are in word format and contents page needs slight readjustment as more information has been added.
