This document contains three different sample PEE answers for students to level and grade. Excellent for use as a revision tool or for use in class as students write their own answers. The three different questions are:
Compare how the power of memory is presented in Kamikaze and in one other poem from ‘Power and Conflict.’
Compare how Bayonet Charge and The Charge of the Light Brigade present the experience of soldiers in battle.
How does the poet present the power of nature in Storm on the Island and in one other poem from Power and Conflict?
A lesson that enables students to be able to effectively compare two of the poems from the Conflict and Power Cluster. This lesson focusses on the question: Compare how poets present attitudes to power and identity in Checking Out Me History and in one other poem from ‘Power and Conflict.’
It features a pictionary (or blockbusters) based starter activity (which the students love!) to help them remember the quotations and also includes a planning grid, example answer and links to the mark scheme.
This could stretch to a couple of lessons and is excellent for revision.

PLEASE NOTE: The source material for this is based on the AQA Key Stage 3 Test Pack (Year 7 Pack 1 Paper 2 - Amber and the Watercress girl). This is easily available on the E-AQA website, hence why it's not included here. This is very well suited to middle - lower ability GCSE students.
A resource designed to help students understand some key contextual factors that influence Romeo & Juliet. All of the punctuation has been removed so students must check and correct the passage of text first before answering five comprehension questions.

A mock exam assessment based on the new AQA 1-9 style. The question used is:
Starting with this conversation, explain how Shakespeare presents Lord Capulet as a father figure.
Write about:

• How this links to the context of Elizabethan England
It's based on the 'Hang thee' scene. This task is perfect for use in class, as a homework or as a full blown mock exam.
