I am a second in department currently responsible for Key Stage 3. As a result of this I have been creating in depth booklets which provide detailed units of work for my teachers. These booklets provide all the extracts/worksheets a teacher needs for a unit of work. I offer these at £3 a booklet and then have created bundles at 30% off with 3 booklets costing only £6.30. I also have a lot of GCSE AQA revision materials, most of which are offered freely.

I’ve put this together for a low ability year 10 group. They have done an overview of ACC and whilst most teachers get students to read it over the summer, I have decided to adapt an abridged version, and then get students to complete checkpoint activities after each reduced chapter.

AQA English Language Mini Mocks - Paper 1 - Set 2

The idea behind a mini mock is that students are exposed to a full section A of the exam paper quickly. They are able to quickly practice key skills and develop their responses by reading a shorter than normal extract. The whole paper is printed on one side of A4. These are perfect for intervention sessions, and for one off lessons to develop the skills needed for the exams. If you download them and find them useful, please leave a review below! Please note I have made lots of other mini mocks which are also free, linked below: 7 Paper 1 Mini Mocks 5 Paper 2 Mini Mocks 3 Paper 2 Mini Mocks (Q2-5) 5 Paper 2 Mini Mocks
