The first is a reading lesson based on a Christmas extract from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone; this is followed by a series of reading questions in the style of the new Edexcel Language paper 1 questions. The second is a creative writing lesson based on a clip from Home Alone, which encourages students to write in the third person using a range of sentence structures.
