A series of questions based on existing mocks for the old set texts, adapted for ‘I Love You Mum - I Promise I Won’t Die’ (& Live Theatre). Originally used a classroom based mock. DISCLAIMER - This resource has no affiliation with Eduqas or WJEC, who have not produced any sample assessments for the new texts. This has just been created by a GCSE teacher and Examiner, and shared in the hope others may find it useful.

The following resource has been created using the terminology from the Eduqas specification, but the skills and knowledge are applicable to all syllabi for GCSE (and A-Level). It contains roughly 3 lessons of prep time (depending on how quickly your pupils grasp and make notes on Key Terminology), and 2 lessons of show analysis (again, group dependent). The unit also contains 2 work sheets - One to support students with note taking during the show, and one to support them with their individual notes for their folders.

Most lessons also contain an element of practical work, to ensure they are still utilising their acting skills. Includes detailed instructions for 4 lessons, along with ideas for how you could extend this Scheme, should you want to (the last slide of the PowerPoint). If you would like me to create a PowerPoint for any of the ideas in the last slide, comment on this post, and I will try and get one made for you ASAP.

I have created a mock paper for the new set texts based on the old style of paper. This has been designed to replicate an official paper, giving the students the experience of a real exam in the absence of mock papers provided by the exam board. I have included page numbers for the majority of extracts (where I had access to the exam copy of the text), but please check the page numbers are entered for your chosen set text (if you want to message me the page numbers for any that aren’t included I will update the resource as I go). DISCLAIMER: This resource is not directly affiliated with Eduqas or WJEC, but has been made by a GCSE teacher and examiner to support teachers who don’t currently have a Mock paper with the new set texts.
