This resource is for the NEW GCSE in English Language and should be used to introduce students to the skill of using subject terminology. It is aimed at helping students identify verbs, (as well as other parts of speech but the focus is on verbs) Paper 1, question 2 (words and phrases) .

This knowledge organizer can be used to help the students understand the context to the different 19th Century texts they will study for English Language Paper 2. It includes brief information on the following: Victorian London the Great Exhibition of 1851 Who was governing Britain? Well-known writers and social commentators Life for poor people in London Communist ideas The extent of the British Empire A map of the British Empire Education including ‘ragged schools’. The Industrial Revolution: slavery, the colonies and workers

These knowledge organisers have been created to support individual studnts who have been allocated ‘extra time’ for their GCSE examination. They follow the AQA English Language exam structure. One of them is for those students who have been allocated 25% extra time and the other is for 50% extra time. Included is advice on the steps they should follow in the actual exam, active reading strategies and how they should respond to each question. There are sentence starters included for each question, reminders about technical accuracy and the AQA recommended 5-part plan for the writing task.

This has been created as an aid to KS4 pupils to help them remember key quotes in the play related to the character Macbeth. It has been created with the new GCSE in mind. Pupils are given quotes with a word missing and they are directed to specific scene and line. They complete the quote and make some additional notes on what it reveals about Macbeth.

A wide selection of resources which enable students to explore the key characters, Kathy and Tommy as well as some of the most important themes in the novel. These include: isolation, friendship, fear, sex and relationships. There are also activities in which the key symbols (woods, balloons, boat) are examined as well as questions such as to what extent Hailsham is a world of nightmares. Many of the resources are aimed at guiding pupils to specific areas of the text to select quotes, which they can then comment on/ analyse. This scaffolding then supports their analytical writing.

This resource consists of a selection of the most important extracts from the play with a suggested examination (AQA) question at the end of each extract. I have advised my students to annotate each extract as part of their revision. They can use the lists of subject terminology on the last page of the booklet to help them, which require that they look for aspects of language, structure, form and themes in each extract.

Can be used when preparing for CA on the theme of love
