This lesson is based on the sample AQA English Language Key Stage 3 paper which avaliable on their site, I cannot put this as an attachment due to copyright laws BUT this is very easy to find on the AQA site.
The lesson walks the pupils, step by step, through question 1,2,4, and 5 by using model examples and top tips to answer each questions - there is also time for the pupils to have a go at this question too.

In this lesson pupils will use dominoes based on CC to consider links between key ideas in the novella. They need to debate and argue how their links work. There are 4 clean dominoes for pupils to put extra ideas in too, as a challenge.
Then they use this as a stimulus to write a critical commentary on the novella, using new ideas they may not have thought about before.
Pupils really enjoyed this!
Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions!

A really great powerpoint that my GCSE English groups loved and found really helpful!
The lesson is in regards to how to approach various Christmas Carol exam questions for the AQA English Literature exam.
During the lesson pupils recognise the key components of the extract question, how to decode the question, practice finding quotes from the extract, consider quotes from the wider text and analyse a key quote. Pupils then create a practice PETAL analysis paragraph that they could use in the exam as exam preparation.
There are 9 various questions.
With a little amendment this PPT can be used for ANY lit exam text.

These two worksheets go hand in hand and can be used in any year group depending on ability.

Attached is a worksheet which is great for many year groups depending on ability. In the recipe there are many plural mistakes, pupils need to spot the mistakes and either select the correct one or re-write it so it is gramatically correct.
This is written for AQA GCSE English Language (9-1) but can be easily adapted. This lesson focuses on how to persuade and uses the issue of teacher's excessive workload (trying to get sympathy here!). The pupils will define the key devices, recognise their use and finally write a response to the letter they have analysed. There are two letters attached, one is more differentiated than the other.
Many thanks :)
