A short session based on the text extract from Summer 2022. This is a simple session encouraging the synthesis of connotations and is designed to be paperless. It’s fully animated and has a short summary video at the start. Key word analysis is a feature and there’s a demo answer + 2 extra questions. There are a number of book covers, set as small images in the centre of white pages. I printed these laminated and passed them round/got the students into groups with drywipe pens. They can be used in a few ways.

I’ve been an examiner for a few years but these can be subjective. It might be useful as a set of good responses to Paper 1. Please leave any feedback - hope it’s helpful! oin the discussion!

This is well-animated and is sectioned off by LO slides which tick each off as they are covered. The main formative task is also put together with step-by-step highlighted quotations which follows a set of statements which are set up to imitate the exam page. After revisiting the terms ‘explicit’ & ‘implicit’ - it provides an overview of P2Q1. There are two activities at the end - one to practice independently and feedback and then a summative one to end the session. Hope you find it useful and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. =-)

This has been created on Microsoft Whiteboard, which is an awesome online teaching tool. TES doesn’t support high-quality SVG images, so there is a link to download from Google - for which you need your own personal Google account. Zoom into the mid-section and the arrown guide to a sample answer, extra tasks/questions and contextual information.

I usually use this as either revision or after my nonfiction language feature double session. Download to see how this works! This is a fully animated ppt, with step-by-step/click-by-click animation, animated annotations and example 1/2 answer for paper 2, question 2. Activities and notes prompts, throughout, this AO1-3 session lasts upto 3hrs and covers question 1, 2 and 4 of paper 2. It ends with a prompt for Q4 and leads perfectly into a more detailed comparison session. Explore Victorian ‘Hulk’ ‘floating prisons in 1846 and compare how different the prisons and writers’ perspectives are. A 2011 article is included which is great to compare. Click the Alcatraz image and open a 1934 video of real prison footage. Alcatraz was actually open in the 1800s and the video provides some interesting content.

Train students to make rational predictions based on fictional expositions, in practice for Paper 1 - Question 3. Begin with a fictional exposition. Then note down all the symbolic ideas within. Following this, make a reasonable prediction about what might be foreshadowed by the writer. FInally, make as many comments as you can about the significance this has to the entire plot and how it will affect the reader via creating interest/intrigue. Foreshadowed clues to future events are in a great many novels…these, like Steinbeck’s famous novella, are often teleological. Writing about them can get some big marks for your students! =-) Take a look at my brief session on this - with another one of these sheets included: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-8700-english-language-paper-1-question-3-structure-foreshadowing-12124686

My students hate the fact that I make a movie an educational experience but, here it is! A universal movie analysis worksheet for Structure. Whilst watching Christmas films or clips, even, students can fill in the sheet with copious notes and then discuss/write afterwards… Hope you find it useful! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =-) Image taken from www.pixabay.com - where all top quality images are free to use, even for commercial purposes.

THis is a ppt display which can also be printed. Use as an extension task to any session really but Paper 1 - Q5, more so. Great for drop-in sessions and making displays. Display the images on the big screen and use annotations or on-screen typing to work with a group and fill out an example. Print them in any size as they are great quality images… All images are taken from www.pixabay.com, where top quality images are free to use, even for commercial purposes… =-)

This session goes through Paper 1 - Question 5, descriptive and narrative writing, as a practice session. It starts off comparing the mark scheme to an example with a task, following a set of animated annotations which are to be discussed as a group. Then move onto approaching an image for description and this includes an example, too. There is a list of figurative features which can be amended, as well as a task on making epic connections in creative writing. Following this, there is a small focus on titles and sentence starters. Finally, there is a writing challenge which uses a starting sentence and Christmas icons to stimulate and focus writing. As an added bonus: there is also a Christmas Full Paper 1 mock paper included. I wrote the example text myself and all top quality images are from www.pixabay.com - where all images are free for use, even for commercial purposes.

In an effort to promote triangulated answers and improve strategies like ‘pee’ - I thought I’d give this away for free. Guide even your struggling students towards writing better quality and more detailed responses via this engaging and interesting set. It stresses the important of triangulated evidence and inferences. The booklet is designed to be used in a classroom, at home and for 1:1 tuition . It is also good to give to parents and have them work with their children in their own time - to solidify their ideas of what good use of evidence is and how they can gain more detail from finding patterns in evidence. The powerpoint presentation is made from it - so it can be taught but it can also be student-led as there are brief instructions and it begins from a general level, working towards more complex ideas. This is also a small part of a 100 page complete workbook I’ve created for each of the academic objectives from AQA (8700) - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-8700-english-language-revision-workbook-12212036 This link has the book and a 131-slide powerpoint - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-8700-english-language-complete-revision-workbook-and-131-slide-ppt-display-12111223 There is also a very complexly planned and animated pair of sessions to purchase which works alongside this booklet - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-8700-english-language-ao2-analysis-introduction-finding-patterns-12131920 Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I hope you find it useful.

It features many famous cosplay images which will hopefully inspire students to create interesting narrative openings for Paper 1 - Question 5. It covers a grade 5 mark scheme for content and organisation, activities for creating features, the Action genre is focused on and both language and structure. It has tips for creating, extending and advancing similes and much more! I plan to take some comics in with me when I use it…if not there are plenty you can preview via the web. Turned out to be a great set and worked really well, with all my groups.

I have a smashing set of these for sale in my shop - covering both papers. This set is just Paper 1 - Section A and can only be printed single-sided. Also a card matching exercise once laminated and cut up. Brilliant Christmas starter. Essentially 8 reading micro-mocks using famous Christmas songs. Mince pie week makes me cringe so I try to do workshops as a lot don’t turn up! Enjoy!

A wide collection of written responses for AQA 8700 exams. I’ve used these as examples and have written them with ideas from marking real exams. I asked others to write some so they appear more authentic. I’ve had students who, for whatever reason, find it hard to grasp an example answer if it’s typed. So I thought this would help. They have seemed to work better once they’ve decided the scruffiest must be mine! No work has been replicated, here. But they are very good examples, particularly the Jigs and Reels responses. The structure ones were based on what I was hoping to see but never actually did. Students over complicate it most of the time and map out the text gaining 2-3 marks. These examples show how differently the question can be approached. Students can mark them, with some support and you yourselves can have a practice if you’re new or haven’t marked for AQA. DISCLAIMER - All marks are close approximations. Having marked for a few years, I have noticed that sometimes standards can minutely shift from year to year.

44 slide - 5 session set! With a mini extract summary starter using a text which is one of the very first descriptions of fireworks in history, this session ticks all the boxes - literally. It’s very detailed and revisits every question in 8700/2. Revisit language features, develop strategies for writing sophisticated responses and gain confidence with a vast number of tasks. It covers every AO for Paper 2 - with two uniquely researched nonfictional sources and an exam-style paper as part of the handout. Instead of focusing on Guy Fawkes, this one focuses on fireworks themselves and is fully animated with step-by-step-click-by-click animations and annotations. So you can also use it after New Year. Just remove Guy. Example higher level answers for each question are included and mark schemes for level 3 - grades 4-5. Special Offer!
