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 1 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.

A medium term plan (scheme of work) for Of Mice and Men to be taught at KS3. This medium term plan signposts opportunities to embed skills for the new specification GCSE 9-1 skills. The scheme lasts 7 weeks and within each week is an assessment. Each week's assessment is either a literature or language paper based assessment.

A selection of structure strips that have been incredibly useful and rewarding. They have been used to help students to form better quality analytical paragraphs as well as improved transactional/non fiction writing. All of the strips can be edited and use the 'what, how, why' method as opposed to PEE which can be too restrictive Included in this bundle are structure strips for: - Romeo and Juliet - act 2 scene 2, act 1 scene 5, imagery - poetry comparison - non fiction writing - Animal Farm - theme of exploitation - AQA language paper 2 question 2 - AQA language paper 2 question 4 - AQA language paper 1 question 2 and paper 2 question 3 (language questions) - Of Mice and Men

After hearing how useful chanting quotations was, from a colleague, for students in remembering key quotes, I led a session for year 11 that guided them through ways of remembering quotes for their literature exams. By the end of this session students will know 3 quotations relating to the inspector by heart. This is achieved through linking the quote to an image and possibly an action and then by repeatedly chanting the quotes. The resource also walks through the mark scheme with students and highlights how crucial quotations are in achieving marks. Students will also explore writer's methods used within the quotes Students are also exposed to an example question paper so they can see the lack of support they will receive and refers to the other literature questions. The final activity requires students to use the quotations they have learned to plan a response to an exam question about the inspector.

A well planned lesson that results in students writing a formal argument for a broadsheet newspaper. Students will consider a range of statements and determine whether they are for or against and will justify their opinions. Students will have an example argument modelled to them and will unpick the success criteria within the example. Students will then use this as a basis for their own argument.

3 pages of quiz cards for Jekyll and Hyde to use as part of revision with answers. Each question has a quotation and requires students to: 1. identify who said it 2. identify a technique used by Stevenson 3. Answer a deeper question relating to the effect of the technique When printed off and photocopied back to back each card will have the answer on the reverse. I use these in folders (as shown in the image attached) and students spend the first 5-10 mins of certain lessons revising silently. Every correctly answered question moves a step back in the folder. Any question answered incorrectly moves back to the front. This is known as the Leitner method for retaining knowledge as part of regular testing. The Leitner method dictates which sections of the folder should be revised. The rota for his is also attached.
