4 (double) lessons to develop skills for English Language Paper 2 Section A- Writer’s viewpoints and perspectives. One text is taken from AQA Paper 2 resource booklet (available on AQA website) and is on the theme of hostile environments: Let’s talk about the climb up Everest, one step at a time interview with Sir Edmund Hilary An extract from the second text is included: On Sledge and Horseback to Outcast Siberian Lepers by Kate Marsden The lessons develop the skills and AO’s required for each question and provide students with a clear structure to answer each question. There are also model answers for students to mark and match against the mark scheme. Activities aim to build a routine with students that they can apply to their exam. Approaching different texts by following the same steps is important. Activities are aimed to be kept to close timings where indicated to help students build their time management skills for the exam. Additional lesson information is available in the notes sections of some slides. As I am using this with my year 11 students I have interleaved Literature skills by using the poems from the Conflict cluster as starter tasks. The aim of this is to aid students’ revision of the poems but also refresh language analysis skills. The poems link to the themes of the non-fiction texts selected. The aim is for students to spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each lesson revising the poetry skills which can then be applied to the rest of the lesson. These could also be used as ‘unseen’ poetry revision for those that have studied the ‘Romantic’ cluster.

A full scheme of work aimed at KS3 middle ability students. The lessons focus on chapters from the novel as well as including a summative assessment. The scheme also includes articles that link to the context of the novel. Each lesson has clear learning objectives using the must, should, could process. The aim of the module is to build reading and analytical skills required for GCSE study.

These lessons are aimed at year 10 students who are studying for AQA Paper 1. They can also be used/adapted to suit other year groups to develop creative writing skills. This is a full module of lessons that lead up to the students completing a mock AQA paper. The lessons explore and develop the skills students learned in Section A and begin to apply these techniques in their own descriptive/narrative writing piece. The lessons are based on the skills required as detailed in the AQA mark scheme. The lessons have a mixture of individual, paired and group work tasks. Model answers are included in multiple lessons so that students can clearly see what they are expected to be able to write by the end of the module. Differentiated extracts are also used so you can adapt the activities to suit your group’s ability. Most lessons are planned for a double session (2 hours) so can be split to create separate lessons if required. Lesson 1: Introduction to the module and a focus on developing ambitious vocabulary. Lesson 2: Setting- Crafting figurative language devices to zoom in on detail. Lesson 3: Sentence Structure- Reviewing the different types of sentences and applying them artfully to create effects. Lesson 4: Structure- Exploring how to create a narrative journey in a text. Lesson 5: Creating Tone/Atmosphere- Exploration of how subtly changing vocabulary choices can create specific tone/atmosphere in descriptive writing. Lesson 6: Narrative Structure- Explore the structure of a narrative looking at ‘story mountain’ and how it can be applied to writing. Lesson 7: Opening- Identify techniques in a range of extracts and consider what makes an effective opening to a narrative and how to hook the reader. Lesson 8: Tense- Group work tasks where students look at model answers and then experiment with changing tenses in their own work. Most lessons were planned as double lessons (2 hours) so can easily be split to form two 1 hour lessons. Additional information for some tasks and challenge questions are written in the notes section of the PPTs. Please note that some images and extracts have been removed due to copyright. Where possible I have tried to list what these items were either on the slide or in the notes section to enable you to try and locate if desired.
