AQA Step Up to English: Component 1 STYLE Unit

AQA Step Up to English: Component 1 STYLE Unit
Welcome to the world of fast and fair fashion! This half-termly unit is built around the Step Up topic of Style and is designed to prepare students for their AQA Step Up to English Component 1 Literacy topics assessment. It is aimed mainly at Gold award candidates however it is also applicable to those doing the Silver award if, like me, you have candidates doing both awards in the same class. It is designed to ensure students develop the skills necessary to complete the assessment tasks which include two speaking and listening tasks as well as responses to reading and a longer piece of writing. It includes a nicely presented 50 slide teaching PPT (in editable PPT and PDF formats) with lots of engaging activities and extracts from a range of texts including a fashion blog, a feature article and an instructional piece.
All 12 student resources are included in pdf and word formats as well as a detailed set of teacher’s notes explaining how I have used them with my own Step Up classes.

Please check current list of NEAs with AQA and note that information, guidance, support and resources are available from AQA.
