All of the resources in this shop have been tried and tested by myself and my department - I don't believe in selling things that I wouldn't use myself!

This comprehensive PowerPoint, when printed (or emailed) as a booklet, can be used as an English Language intervention and also makes an ideal revision aid. It is modelled on the AQA 9-1 GCSE English Language new specification and includes eight sessions covering both paper one and paper two helping pupils to feel more prepared for their exams.
With over 140 slides, this booklet has a series of easy to follow activities, exam questions and model answers for each of the ten questions of the GCSE. Each session is designed for students to be able to work through independently, or in small groups.
Personally, I have given it as revision to my students, where they work through the booklet in their own time and use what they have learned on the homework tasks - which I then mark and give feedback on and my pupils have enjoyed the challenges and gained confidence in their exam technique. It could be used for isolation and exclusion tasks, extra revision, class work, homework, for intervention groups, or for GCSE re-sit students.
The tasks are aimed at enabling pupils to obtain a grade 5 or above.
Skills from all six AQA Assessment Objectives of the English Language course are included, along with extracts from the mark scheme and starter tasks centered around improving the AO6 and grammar skills of the students.
There are four GCSE practice papers included:
Paper One - Dracula
Paper One - The Red Room
Paper Two - Bank Robberies
Paper Two - Prisons
Please check out my other resources.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
This PowerPoint contains twenty four one-hour well-structured lessons (over 300 slides) that focus on AQA GCSE English Language Paper Two: Section A - Questions 1-4 (reading non-fiction; writers’ viewpoints and perspectives). All tasks are written according to the 9-1 GCSE numerical grades and are designed for AQA English Language Paper 2 qualification (8700).
There are a wide range of tasks that focus on building the skills needed for AO1, AO2 and AO3 - including practice questions, original model responses, extension tasks and text extracts. The PowerPoint includes a baseline assessment and end of unit assessment questions that are modelled on the AQA exam; additionally, there are weekly 30 minute homework tasks for students to complete. There are also four extra exam-based questions that could be used as cover work or as extra questions for revision.
Each lesson follows a set structure including starter activities, lesson outcomes and objectives, model answers, self and peer assessment activities and plenaries.
I made the papers about topics that I know my students are interested in. Many of the topics lend themselves to key PSHE issues that make for interesting debates in the classroom should you want to improve their oracy skills or base the ‘Spoken Language’ endorsement around these topics. All extracts are from the 19th, 20th and 21st century.
Paper 1: Bank Robberies
Paper 2: Fires of London
Paper 3: Mad Scientists
Paper 4: Emmett Till and Racism
Paper 5: Sexting

KS3 Non-Fiction Writing Scheme of Work
This PowerPoint contains twenty one-hour lessons (233 slides) that focus on nonfiction writing skills, and is aimed at Key Stage Three.
There are a wide range of tasks (lessons listed below) that focus on building the key skills of nonfiction writing: planning, language and structure methods, accurate punctuation, vocabulary and proofreading. There are practice questions, original non-fiction model responses, extension tasks, punctuation activities, and a whole bunch more! I have also included a second PowerPoint that can be printed as a resource booklet for students. This will save you time in printing and slicing (and will also save you a fortune on glue sticks!).
Additionally, there are weekly homework tasks. And three printable sheets that can be used as KS3 nonfiction cover work if you are in a pinch.
The premise is that students would gather information about a particular non- fiction topic by watching a documentary. They would then learn about the form of the text and plan their responses thoroughly. They would then learn a new skill and use this to complete some extended writing, before proofreading and editing their work. As a result, for some texts, they will be planning and writing over multiple lessons to really give them the chance to develop and hone their non-fiction writing skills.
Please Note: The longer documentaries are available on Netflix; however, I have also provided alternatives on YouTube for teachers that do not have access to a Netflix account.
Areas covered:
Lesson 1: Baseline assessment on tackling climate change
Lesson 2: Editing letters on education
Lesson 3: Exciting introductions on filters
Lesson 4: Writing leaflets on homelessness
Lesson 5: Watching the world water crisis documentary
Lesson 6: Planning, introductions and speech features
Lesson 7: Writing a speech on the world water crisis
Lesson 8: Headlines and newspaper features

Lesson 10: Discourse markers and planning articles
Lesson 11: Writing an article on fast food
Lesson 12: Midterm assessment on fast fashion
Lesson 13: Watching the gender pay gap documentary

2 - Language Terminology
3 - Literature Terminology
4 - An Inspector Calls
5 - Jekyll & Hyde
The crosswords feature a key quotation from the text with a word missing as the clue. Students have to use this information to complete the quote and fill in the crossword. This works well as a method to get students using and memorising key quotations to help them in the closed book exams.
