Romeo and Juliet: Grade 9, Grade 8 and Grade 7 model responses

This popular resource includes 3 grade 9 Romeo and Juliet responses, 1 grade 8 response and 1 grade 7 model response to 5 AQA style GCSE examination questions on Romeo and Juliet. The exam questions and extracts are included beside the model responses.

I have tried to produce responses at the level reasonably expected of a high-level GCSE-aged student within 45 minutes of examination time.
Sometimes when teachers write exemplar responses, they produce such a high level of analysis that students find them overwhelming. I tried to avoid that.

• Includes a grade 9 model response to a question on adults and children.
• Includes a grade 8 model response to a question about male hostility and asks students how they could turn it into a grade 9 response through deeper language analysis (A02).

This resource is ideal to use to show students how to write successful answers that meet the criteria for A01, A02 and A03.

I have also included a sixth examination question so that students can have a go at an exam question themselves using my 9 step method.
