A lesson aimed at lower-middle ability year 11 students in a revision lesson.

The answer attached is a 'pretend' example of a pupil response that pupils can criticise, mark and improve according to the AQA mark scheme.
This lesson looks at the use of language and structure throughout an extract from the book 'Wonder' by R.J Palacio.
