This PowerPoint contains 39 quiz slides (one for each week of the academic year). I have tried it out with my form in our weekly quiz round, and they have found some quiz questions quite challenging, but had fun completing the quiz each Friday. This could also be used as one giant end of year/term quiz too. The majority of slides consist of ten questions on a particular subject (mainly general knowledge) with the answers in the slide notes for teachers to read out in their weekly form quiz. There are a range of topics, as each week focuses on something different. Topics include: Maths Flags Rivers People Disney Grammar Film Posters Capital Cities Halloween General Sport History TV Shows The British Christmas Technology Religion Myths & Legends Food & Drink Brand Logos Mountains Royal Family Books Music World Records Science Movies Anagrams Animals Harry Potter Lakes Celebrity Zoom Airport Codes Directors Football Politics Art Languages Homophones Human Body Please check out my other resources.

This well-presented pack focuses on AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1, Questions 1-5 (8700). There are four one-hour lessons covering each area of the exam paper, helping students feel more prepared for the exam. The lessons were planned to teach the exam skills thoroughly, though they could be used for revision lessons. Each lesson requires minimal preparation and is designed with pupil engagement in mind. With over sixty slides, this PowerPoint has a series of easy to follow activities with clear instructions and a variety of tasks. It focuses on assessment objectives and timings, aiming to give pupils a clear understanding of the exam and what is expected of them. The aim is to provide students with the skills and confidence needed to sit and conquer this exam paper on their own. Included are: independent, pair & group work tasks, opportunities for self and peer assessment, extension tasks, writing frames, homework tasks and, in the event of emergencies, a cover lesson work sheet (though, hopefully it won’t be needed). There is also a model answer for each question to help students engage with the mark scheme. Personally, I have found that, when using this series of papers and PowerPoints, students have grown in both confidence and ability on their way to achieving their target grades, commenting on the challenge that the lessons provide them with. This particular pack focuses on an extract from Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ and is provided in the style of the AQA English Language Paper One exam. Additionally, this pack includes a copy of L. Frank Baum’s ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ with exam questions as a homework task. All resources are fully editable so that you can tailor to suit the needs of your class.
