I sat a full timed paper (I am a lead examiner) for the specimen paper for Edexcel which I attach here - it was done in timed conditions, unseen. You could use this as example answers once the students have sat a paper or cut them up for students to analyse more closely. I hope it is useful for you! If you would like any more like this creating for any paper of your choice please don’t hesitate to pop a request in the comments. Can do lit, lang or combined up to A Level. :-)

I have created two lessons or one full WTM if you just use the second half of the presentation. The theme is on the danger of the sea and fits the pre-release info foe 2022. I have used this with a mixed and high ability group and both found it useful. I would recommend wither writing your own examples for the slides following the questions (just a starter para) as we all have our own style or using a web cam (mine is like the one in the images) to show different students’ work after each writing bit to live model marking.

Written in real time - the question is useful for AQA Specification A (Love) or B (tragedy). Spend some time planning with the template provided, then you could use this as guided writing or guided marking. The question is: “All women in “Othello” are tragic, innocent victims who evoke pity”. How far do you agree? It has been written by an experienced teacher and examiner (me) in the style of an A Level student so it is challenging but realistic.

I have made a full Paper 1 for Language in light of the new (very un-useful!) announcements for the exam board. There is also three full examplars for section A, written in ‘real time’ . I have also added in a set of data for a TALK-based CLA question as that is guaranteed to feature in some way. I hope that you find them useful and please let me know if you would like more of these made, or for any other subjects related, thanks!

I wrote this in real time - I hope it is useful to use with your students in preparing for next year’s exam. It is from the May 2019 series - the paper is available on e-AQA for download. Thanks

I hope you find this useful :-) it is a completely self-contained booklet which guides students through a range of activities for English Literature B - Independent Study My students have found it really helpful to work through for homework, but it could easily be adapted to in-lesson learning. Each section includes quotes from the critical anthology which feeds into the coursework meaning you don’t have to work through that whole section NB we only focus on NARRATIVE THEORY for NEA1 so this is all related to that. However we do it fairly early in Year 1 so it builds on a lot of GCSE creative writing skills. Please leave a review if you have enjoyed this or have any requests as to something you would like in future as it really helps my business, Lauren

Contains a wealth of resources, exam papers and lessons. Covers a full six/seven week introduction to Non-fiction and is aimed at the GCSE Reading AO's. Has been used to great success in my own classes.

Comprehensive resource for reading a range of texts as well as the skills for English Language AO1, AO2, AO4 Includes PPTs and walkthrough answers. This is a great booklet for setting cover, long term absence work or revision/mocks as each has a full set of exam questions. It is geared towards Edexcel but is adaptable for teaching comprehension and has generally accessible texts.

A really useful mini-knowledge organiser in bookmark form; students find this incredibly useful to work from. Adaptable as to what you have covered. Includes contextual information on the reverse and how to write a response to an extract on the front. Act 1 - full exam question from Act 1, scene ii Model answer (full marks) based on the extract to demonstrate how to achieve the AOs and how to write academic paragraphs in response to an extract.

An excellent and detailed lesson based on two non-fiction texts. Includes full walkthrough and tips - designed to be used with a visualiser if possible although I have included a scan of my example for Q4.
