2 AQA style exam questions for Romeo and Juliet with extracts.

This lesson focuses on exploring the Biblical parallels in Lord of the Flies. This encourages a more thoughtful response to the text and a way in to accessing AO3 by integrating contextual information into a written exploration of the text. I used this with HPA students and they got a lot out of it and their AO3 was much more integrated thereafter.

These two handouts help students to peer review one another’s written work. There is one for reading and one for writing. There is room for 3 students’ responses in a gallery feedback type activity. There are sentence starters included to help.

This lesson focuses on accessing chapter 4 of Lord of the Flies at a high level. Students will explore this chapter in lots of depth for students to apply key ideas and themes that emerge/develop in this chapter to almost any exam response.

This PowerPoint contains a variety of revision activities for AQA poetry. There is an important retention quiz on the contextual information for each of the names poems in the Power and Conflict section too.

Here are all my resources for guiding LPA/MPA through Romeo and Juliet. Focus is on AO2 (both language and structure) and integrating relevant AO3 comments on context into essays.

Here are a number of lessons that we use once per week with Y9 to familiarise students with how to approach poetry with AQA. The named poems can all be found online. All resources can be adapted for other year groups/other poems.

Here is one PowerPoint of condensed activities for The Merchant of Venice. Originally produced for HPA students.

I used this PowerPoint to guide teaching of Romeo and Juliet to LPA/MPA students. This covers the whole play and addresses the AOs on the AQA exam.
