A sheet which allows students to plan effective exam responses in the lead up to the Literature exams. Includes a modelled response of how to approach the question. This particular one is for ACC but I have also adapted it for R&J in minutes. I print this sheet on A3, with the modelled response on the reverse to scaffold how to approach the exam question. Particularly useful to getting students to think about the extract and the wider text. Prompts them to cover all AOs in their answer.

A handy brief resource to help students to revise key quotations for the Macbeth question of the English Literature exam. Covers key characters, themes and accompanying quotations. 31 quotations in total.

15 slides of 5-a-day activities to consolidate knowledge of An Inspector Calls, Poetry, A Christmas Carol and general literacy skills and accompanying answers.

This resource has been a lifesaver in preparing my GCSE group for their Literature Paper 1 - Romeo and Juliet section. The booklet is structured so that it includes: • A contents page with a reminder of 12 key themes and characters • 5 practice papers for a selection of the themes and characters • Guidance on how to approach each question in timed conditions • Colour coded headings so that students can see where they’ll be hitting each of the AOs • A structured planning sheet for each for each question (I included 5 in here to save on printing and a blank copy at the back of the booklet for students to photocopy to continue planning) • Modelled examples of how to plan • Some scaffolded examples to guide their planning on the initial pages This means our revision lessons have been student-led, students can work through the booklet at their own pace and keep track of their progress with the tick sheet. I encourage them to write up each plan into a full essay following completion.

A visual resource to help students to revise characters, their characteristics, and key quotes.
