Topic - tattoos Non-fiction articles (contemporary and 19th C) and slides to walk students through Section A of the paper. Opportunities to practise with sentence stems, model paragraphs and clear instructions how to answer each question. 2 - 3 hours worth of teaching/work. I was observed teaching this and the obs went very well - high student engagement despite it being a dry paper and clear instructions.

Same format as Lang Paper 2 Workbook. All questions explained with examiners tips, a worked example, sentence stems and a question or students to complete on their own. There is also a feedback cover sheet for a marking a mock paper - with DIRT tasks to circle for quick and impactful marking. Word or PDF

Slides to walk your class through each question on the Tiredness of Rosabel (AQA Lang Paper 1 2017) paper. Lots of tips, how tos, sentence stems, with details about how the marks are awarded and examples with activities to do along the way. Takes about 2 - 3 lessons to get through. I usually do this at the end of a short story unit and then give them an in class Section A to try on their own.

Slides to take students through reading Stave 1. Including some ‘intro to Dickens’ and ‘strategies for reading 19th C’ and charity advert analysis. Lots of differentiated tasks and opportunities for think, pair, share student talk and role play. There is a non-fiction reading worksheet with comprehension questions that can be used as a homework. I have made these to support a non specialist cover teacher and for students at home isolating so have made them as clear, accessible and easy to use as possible. You could load these up and walk through it without much understanding of ACC and still have a decent lesson! There is a cloze worksheet to summarise the Stave after working through the slides.

A new GCSE AQA Language Paper 1 mock paper with an extract from Kate Grenville’s The Secret River. Made to look as much like the real AQA paper as possible, with one version in 12pt and a second in 14pt. We gave this as our ‘end of Year 10 exam’ and the results were as expected/similar to other Y10 attainment suggesting that it’s a ‘like for like’ paper. Students said they liked it. We will continue to use this paper in my dept.
