Welcome to the relaxing world of the staycation! This half-termly unit is built around the Step Up topic of Holidays 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 40 slide teaching PPT with lots of engaging activities and extracts from a range of texts including a web review page, a holiday advert and a travel book by Bill Bryson.
All 10 texts and student resources are included as well as a detailed set of teacher’s notes explaining how I have used them. Thanks for looking and don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of any help.
I have included all resources in PPT, Word and PDF formats.
Please check current list of NEAs with AQA and note that information, guidance, support and resources are available from AQA.
