This Powerpoint was originally created to accompany a Travel writing unit in Year 8, although it could be used for any year group. There are 34 high quality images from a variety of locations across the globe. For the majority of the images the location is included in the notes on the Powerpoint.

This is the second set of mini mocks for paper 2. 5 paper 2 and 7 paper 1 are already available free in my shop. There are 5 mini exam papers in the style of AQA paper 2 in this download. The themes are: Tower Bridge Winter in America Riots Packed Lunches Children in Poverty Each paper has two short extracts followed by all four questions the GCSE would have. Each paper is reduced to one sheet of A4. Both .pdf and word files available as fancy fonts are used. Please leave a review if you use/download.

This booklet and powerpoint were created for a revision session for my Y13 class. There is a 16 page booklet (word document and PDF) and a 12 slide PPT (editable PPT and PDF). Note there are a range of fonts used so the editable ones may come up funny. The plan for the session is pasted below so you get an idea of what is included: The crime genre – a timeline (two articles and then students map timeline) Detectives and criminals (students watch three short clips to discuss archetypes of these characters) Criminal settings (students discuss settings, read an article, analyse some mini setting descriptions) Example extract – plan! Example paragraph - mark! Applying key phrases Extracts for discussion This booklet also contains three new unseen crime extracts.

Short chunked extracts which enable students to work their way through the questions all on one page - to save photocopying! Themes given are housing charities, children’s bedrooms and sleeping rough/homlessness. Questions 2-5 are provided, but no true or false for Q1 to save on space.

Included are suggested paragraph planning structures for Q5 on both papers. Paper 1: drop, shift, zoom in, zoom out Paper 2: anecdote, research, counter-argument, rhetorical challenge Each one has three tips to include and example sentences. These are accompanied with an example exam with an example plan in the display - not included as I hand wrote this. I printed them A3 as this is ideal display size. These were made to accompany a display already uploaded, an section A breakdown for 1-4: On Tes Here Editable word document included, but relevant fonts will be needed. Pdf better for easy printing.

A 15-20 minute activity getting students to plan an answer to section A and B of both Literature papers. For paper 1, students are given a guide of where the extract is from and a quotation they could use. For the poetry section, students are given a question and 5 suggested linking poems. They must include quotations and points to create a plan for each answer. Three exams given here as a Word document which can be edited. The texts given are Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, Never Let Me Go and Power and Conflict poetry. Test 1: Macbeth powerful / Scrooge responsibility / Tommy or Creativity / Charge of the Light Brigade. Test 2: Lady Macbeth manipulative / Theme: morality / Guardians or Love / Checking Out Me History Test 3: Theme: death / Theme: Isolation and loneliness / Ruth or Science / War Photographer EDIT: I've now also added the sheet I will use to get students to record their totals each week.

UPDATED FOR EASTER 2019 - I have added booklets for literature which include A Christmas Carol, Jekyll and Hyde, and Romeo and Juliet. Word documents also there to suit your text combination. There is also an unseen poetry questions/comparison in the new booklets. For Language a 20 page booklet. This takes them through each question in the exam with lots of mini practice questions and spaces to plan their response. It also expects them to recall key details first, such as the mark scheme, marks available, time you should spend on the question. For Literature, a 20 page booklet for the following texts: Macbeth An Inspector Calls Poetry (Power and Conflict) There are 3 sample questions for each with space for students to mindmap the ideas, plan an answer and write a paragraph.

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

There are a range of key quotations from each text typed up in various fonts, then backed with an analytical paragraph where terminology is in red. For A Chrismtas Carol there are 8 quotations in the shape of baubles. For Macbeth there are 3 dagger quotations, 3 light quotations, and 6 blood quotations, so 12 Macbeth quotations. For ‘An Inspector Calls’ there are 7 quotations, one for each character. Please note only the .pdf version has been uploaded. An example picture of each display is included. The character images in each display are also available in another upload.

NB: TEACHES Nettles, Praise Song, Brothers and Sister Maude This poetry overview focuses on the AQA English Literature Unit 2: Poetry Across Time. It introduces the students to the general ideas in the poems and allows the teacher to assess the pupil’s general skills in a formative way. The series focuses on the skill of comparing poems needed in the exam. The lessons teach the poems Nettles, Praise Song For My Mother, Brothers and Sister Maude and pupils begin to compare the poems

Encourages pupils to take a step-by-step approach to analysing leaflets (rather than a game of spot the device!). Also reminds them to explore how effective each of the elements of the leaflet are. A publisher file.

A word cloud for each poem in the cluster in a shape which links to the poem in some way. A good revision tool, display opportunity, diction discusser - a versatile resource. Enjoy!

Visual sentence starters for peer assessment, presented in lanterns to create bunting. Includes 7 positive starters 'This part was really effective because...' and improvement based 'Your target could be...'

The title and images for a stuck station based around superheroes. For a display in any subject, or a literacy display using the specific headings.

NB: The Publisher file will NOT show the fonts, so if you don't want to adapt download the pdf. A colourful way of displaying the AFs assessed in some schools at Key Stage 3 - bunting with bright colours and fonts. PDF format as publisher when opened will not show the correct fonts.

As it says in the title - a shaped wordcloud for all of the poems in the relationships cluster. Can be resized - to print for display they work better on A3.

For the third week of quizzes I have written questions where all of the answers begin with the same letter, predominantly quotation based, linking across all aspects of the exams. There are 2 lots of 4 quizzes with different text combinations (Macbeth, Jekyll and Hyde, An Inspector Calls, Conflict Poetry AND Romeo and Juliet, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Conflict Poetry) and the answers on the following slide. All questions are interleaved and each quiz is worth 10 marks - I use them simply as quick starters in the run up to the exams, which are immediately peer-assessed so students know where the gaps are in their knowledge. Please note there are four other quizzes available for week one in my other resources.

A blank menu to be filled/ altered for a fun student-directed homework task (or set of tasks). Also attached my own version for Y11 revision (AQA English Lit)
