I’ve put this together for a low ability year 10 group. They have done an overview of ACC and whilst most teachers get students to read it over the summer, I have decided to adapt an abridged version, and then get students to complete checkpoint activities after each reduced chapter.

You are purchasing a 16 page booklet which takes students through the skills and structure of the P1Q5 task. You will recieve the .pdf and .doc files (please note because of the fonts used the word document may change from the pdf.) This was used for a 3 hour revision writing workshop.

Please note there are other quizzes available for three more weeks in my other resources.

NB: TEACHES Nettles, Praise Song, Brothers and Sister Maude This poetry overview focuses on the AQA English Literature Unit 2: Poetry Across Time. It introduces the students to the general ideas in the poems and allows the teacher to assess the pupil’s general skills in a formative way. The series focuses on the skill of comparing poems needed in the exam. The lessons teach the poems Nettles, Praise Song For My Mother, Brothers and Sister Maude and pupils begin to compare the poems

The knowledge organiser is essentially an analysis terminology sheet, offering students key structural and language terminology and analytical verbs plus words to use for effect on the reader. It's aimed at AQA Language Paper 1 but can be adapted.

The idea behind a mini mock is that students are exposed to a full section A of the exam paper quickly. They are able to quickly practice key skills and develop their responses by reading a shorter than normal extract. The whole paper is printed on one side of A4. These are perfect for intervention sessions, and for one off lessons to develop the skills needed for the exams. If you download them and find them useful, please leave a review below!
