This resource was created and used for a targeted revision session on English Language Paper 1 Question 4 using June 2019 (Mr Fisher Paper). This talks students through what they are being assessed on, how to approach the question, and then looks at the example answers. There is also a final model at the end which students can complete.

This is a walkthrough of GCSE AQA English Language Paper 1 (June 2019 - boats paper). It includes references to the mark scheme and a wealth of examples which are annotated in terms of where they hit the mark scheme and then each exemplar has examiner comments alongside. There are accompanying worksheets for the students with all of the exemplars on. I have created this in the hopes that students will become more confident in knowing the difference between the levels of the mark scheme e.g. what the difference is between ‘some’ and ‘clear’. By the end of the slides, students will have completed an entire language paper 2. I plan to then take this in to mark and give them feedback on how to improve. They will then have time to make these improvements in lesson. However, you can, of course, use these slides however you’d like to. I hope you find them useful.

These posters are designed to help make DIRT time more easy and effective to carry out in a reflective lesson. The idea behind them is that students can take a photograph of these on their phone or tablet, they then return to their seats and read the information about the area of literacy that they need to improve on and then complete the activity to practice this skill.
