Useful for students studying Atonement, Brighton Rock and Browning, Wilde and Crabbe. Has a further list of potential two-text questions which would be great to set as independent essays. I also include two excellent example answers: one which shows how to write on an unseen crime extract (The Mousetrap) and one which is a two-text question based on the crime poems and Atonement. It is worth noting that a play-script is likely to appear soon for the crime unseen component as it has been generally prose so far - this means it is useful for students to be aware of how to write about drama as an extract. Thanks

Full Paper 1: Section B English Language Edexel Dracula (adaptable for AQA) with exemplar - full mark exemplar scanned in for Q3 and Q4 Walkthrough learning journey of each section of the exam.

I used a guillotine to split up the SPEED chain in order to encourage students to think about crafting better paragraphs. They then used treasury tags to connect them. I based my answer on the 2019 Othello extract for Spec B - tragedy although it could be used to model any extract-based answer. I then gave out the essay split into paragraphs. You may wish to alter for the ability of your students as this is highest Band 5 level. Once they had decided on the order of the essay they stuck it onto A3 and colour coded each AO. I hope you find this lesson useful.

2x full mock exam papers (Paper 1) for A2 Exam Full mark exemplar (scanned) for Section A and C - Paris Anthology, Handmaid's Tale and Browning.

Booklet designed for use in preparation for the Edexcel GCSE new spec. Easily adaptable to AQA as the questions are almost exactly the same.

A brand new exam paper, fits with the pre-release material for AQA. Hope this is useful for people, has five exam questions, 1 x Section A, taken from Act 1 2 x Section B, Othello single text questions 2 x Section C, two-text questions Should save you some time coming up with mock exam papers. Thanks and enjoy! Please leave a review if you have found this helpful as it really helps my business.

Could be used as a model for a full-mark Pearson iGCSE coursework, or an A Level analysis coursework for another exam board. I would use this as a live walkthrough of of how to structure the essay, or take one paragraph and really closely break it down as to how it has been composed. I hope this helps anyone who is in need of a stretch and challenge exemplar; it could easily be adapted for a different group/ability. This is marked out of AO1, AO2 and AO4 with 10 marks for each component.

Based on 'Alive' and 'Touching the Void'. Used with my mixed ability Y11s. Comes with a full 1 hour powerpoint and a printable/adaptable learning journey.

For AQA Spec B, Route A - all six past questions for Part C (the two text question) together as well as 21 new questions which are excellent for rapid planning, homeworks etc. You could set one a fortnight for the entire year!

Introduces students to the opening scene and encourages students to think about thematic ideas such as revenge/Heaven and Hell/death. You will need a copy of scene 1 (or the students’ texts) for this lesson and three versions of the play (you can choose - I used the Olivier, Branagh and Tennant).

A blank (unnanoted) example answer to the question ** “Desdemona suffers a tragic end because she is a woman.” To what extent do you agree with this view? (25) ** I have also included a mark scheme at the bottom, which you can use with students. Would be useful for AQA Spec A and B. You could cut up and encourage students to order or highlight for the AO’s (shown at the bottom). Written at an accessible level by expert examiner.

Attached is an example answer for your students to show how to respond to a real question for the “A Christmas Carol” extract question and then a full mark answer to analyse with the students. I videoed my process of annotating and then turning these into an answer - the process was: summary of whole extract, words and word groups, literary devices, sentence types and punctuation, summary of whole extract. (This task only requires AO2- language and structure). If you would like an example writing for Section B I would also be happy to add one or make a new resource.

Very useful for A Level or undergraduate literature. I hope you enjoy using this. You could potentially use it as a short project, assign a different literary genre and students make their own (good transition from A Level to HE)

A self-contained task for students who have studied the Miller Keats combination of Tragedy. I have set this for this week’s distance learning in advance of an attempt of their own. Covers the skills and mark scheme of Paper 1; Section C Thank you

A really useful revision lesson with all questions as well as a model Q4 scanned in for analysis. Works well for a middle ability group but could very easily be adapted up or down. There are sections in the lesson throughout for you to use a visualiser to broadcast either your own, or a student’s answer.

This would form a useful mini-mock exam with lots of feedback and peer or self assessment. It is pertinent to look at more advanced child writing with a group as this can sometimes feature in an exam, rather than emergent writing from a younger child. I also include a knowledge organiser which I made to be used as a tablemat whilst completing essays of this nature which really helps with differentiation. If you have an observed lesson or need to set remote learning then this could be a good task for students moving into Year 2. I include a question, data sets © AQA and a full response with space for student assessment, as well as the mark scheme. You could then set up a following task which is similar on another example of child writing from this age group (10-11).

Self-explanatory, can be adapted for use in mainstream GCSE exam (for example AQA/Pearson Paper 2) with a slight tweaking of the questions. This is based on “A Passage to Africa” which has not yet featured in the main exams, only being used one in the reserve paper for Jan 2019. I hope this helps, over the next few days I plan to write the model answers (hopefully I have time!), the current price reflects the question paper alone.

I made this for a mixed ability Y11 group who were shortly to sit their exams. The key point of this lesson is that it is largely student led and you mainly just circulate, discuss and monitor. Theme: AMBITION but very easily adaptable for any other theme/focus.

A self contained lesson (PPT/short video) and worksheet on “The Woman in Black” for 20th century prose. Would be good to use with younger year groups who are reading the novel (to transition to GCSE skills) or is suitable for KS4 classes too.

These are straightforward to mark with any past Paper 1 or 2 mark scheme for AQA, however if you would like me to write you a bespoke mark scheme (perhaps if teaching for first time) or even some model answers at specific grades please feel free to email me at lsirr1986@gmail.com I am also happy to make resources and model answers on request on any A Level Language, Literature or Lit/Lang combined module as I teach all three and examine also. I would like to be able to support other teachers to deliver high quality materials at this challenging time.
