I'm currently the head of English and raising standards leader at a secondary school in Birmingham. I'm passionate about my subject and passionate about ensuring that the young people we serve leave education with a high competency in English. Prior to teaching I worked in the radio industry as a presenter for 7 years and so when I became a teacher I enjoyed the opportunity to teach Media studies. You'll find hundreds of English and Media studies resources.

Romeo and Juliet 9-1 Sample assessment 6- specimen exam question for new specification English lit

(0)
With very few sample assessment materials provided by the exam boards I have created my own. They have been made to look exactly like the assessments that students will sit n the real 9-1 examinations and are phrased in the same ways too. This paper uses an extract from act 2 scene 2 The student responses can then be marked using the relevant mark scheme for Shakespeare. Assessment requires extract analysis and then question b is based on the play as a whole.
