A comprehensive set of lessons that focus on AQA English Language Paper 2 ’ Writer’s Viewpoints and Perspectives ’ . Created by an AQA Examiner and tailored specifically to the marking criteria of the exam.
This scheme of work is an introductory scheme that covers both the ‘Reading’ and ‘Writing’ sections of the exam.
The extracts used in this scheme focus on Farming & Famine.
This resource comprises of fully planned lessons that have:
Objectives
Starter tasks
Subject knowledge slides to explain the criteria for each of the exam questions
Activities and application tasks
Review (plenary) tasks
Each slide is clearly labelled to indicate which stage of the lesson it is in order to help students see their progression.
Differentiation is offered throughout the tasks using a colour coded traffic light system to cater to various levels of ability.
Red = most accessible tasks
Orange = tasks to help develop understanding and responses
Green = challenging tasks to push higher ability students.
The texts are included and the power point offers various help sheets that can be printed and given to students as additional forms of differentiation.
All questions use timings that coincide with the AQA GCSE mark scheme.
This power point serves as a tool to help students revise for their English Language Paper 2 exam (AQA) .
I have used my knowledge and experience as an experienced AQA marker to create a resource for my own students in the run up to their exam.
It gives a clear over view of the paper, breaking it down into colour coded individual questions and skills. It includes:
A revision sheet that outlines each question, the skills assessed, the best way to approach it, timings etc.
Examples of each question with tips to help the students tackle it and ensure they are using the correct skills/ methods.
A practise task/skill builder task for each question.
Mark schemes
Model answers that do not quite achieve full marks but have been annotated to show how they could be improved.
Exemplar answers that achieve full marks/ the highest mark band - annotated to show why they are being awarded such marks.
