AQA Language Papers 1 and 2
Melanie-AnnMelanie-Ann

AQA Language Papers 1 and 2

(0)
AQA style paper 1 and paper 2 question papers with inserts from Great Expectations and an article examining the changing attitudes to marriage. I have used this as a revision tool, taking the extract from Paper 1 and using it as Source A in Paper 2 (despite it being fiction) to cut down on reading time and to focus on developing the skills in the responses of candidates. This set is ideal for bite-size revision sessions, where students need to develop examination techniques and familiarity with the paper as a whole. These papers do not include question 1 on either paper. Papers are printable, with space for candidates to write their answers underneath the questions, to give them a sense of assessment conditions; it should also make whole-class employment for this resource easier.
Media lessons analysis and creating a short film project.

Media lessons analysis and creating a short film project.

(0)
Three lessons for introducing media studies. Analysis of a short film and consideration of media tools. The final lesson requires students to story board thier own short film, using the script provided. This set of lessons was wonderful to teach and I have differentiated it for year 6, up to KS4, although this incarnation was for a low ability year 7 class. These lessons act as a great introduction to considering the use of speech, consideration of props and setting but showcases perspective and camera angles very well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
