These GCSE questions have been taken from EDUQAS and AQA exam boards. I have differentiated the delivery of the questions into ‘Key Words with Prompts’ and ‘Exam Structuring Questions’.
Key Words with Prompts: This should be used for pupils who know how to construct extended response answers, but need to include more subject specific terminology in their response.
Exam Structuring Questions: This should be used for students who are familiar with subject terminology but struggle to construct an extended response. Questions and answers are broken down before being constructed into an extended response answer.
Model answers have also been provided to help students to check their work.
