AQA 8700 GCSE English Language - AO6 Fantasy Fiction SPaG Workbook & ppt

(0)
Extracts from famous fiction included with modifications for Punctuation Practice! There’s also some spelling and grammar! Included, also, is a 26-slide ppt presentation with animated answers throughout. Look at: The Red Wedding in George R. R. Martin’s A Storm Of Swords. An extract from Bilbo’s party - J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring And one, also, from Lev Grossman’s The Magicians. Good for use with my SPaG session for GCSE AO6 - halloween theme. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-8700-1-ao6-technical-accuracy-in-depth-overview-halloween-spag-12181966 With a full contents page, students can navigate themselves through the session or take this home for homework. Covering all major punctuation marks, some tenses tasks, plural practice as well as homophones and homographs. I have a free version of this in my shop - which is aimed at lower-level students and is quite close to the original from which it is derived.

This set of Structural Analysis sessions spans a number of lessons and goes into some depth for the latter part of AO2. There are some basics about structure and some stretch & challenge terms and examples of every kind of embedded media there is. The intertextuality lesson is one of the most enjoyable ones I’ve used as it demonstrates how it is a feature that is all around us. Imagine what your students could have said for this with the 2019 Summer paper 1 - Protagonist ‘Alice’ and all the sophisticated links to the metaphorical rabbit hole she ventures down… There is also a lesson for Halloween on AO2 but both language and structure to help with the difference. Also, check out the totally free Global Warning lesson I’ve added to my shop which would complement this pack. Grab Yourself a Bargain NOW!
