Hello, I have been teaching for over 20 years in secondary schools. I was a Head of English for 8 years and an examiner at GCSE, A Level and IB for a total of 10 years. My website has lots of free stuff on it, so please explore. It also has details of my new novel, "Larkfall" which I have just published and am very excited about. I hope that you find my resources useful. My review ratings are pretty high and I hope that I have helped people. All the best, Tallybarnett

Teaching GCSE English AQA Language Paper 1 - READING SECTION

(1)
This detailed resource looks at how to answer ALL SIX Language Papers from AQA since 2017, focussing on the READING Section. The Powerpoint runs to 186 slides and goes through Questions 1 – 4 on: The Silent Land – November 2019 The Mill – May 2019 A Sound of Thunder – November 2018 Jigs and Reels – May 2018 Labyrinth – November 2017 The Tiredness of Rosabel – May 2017 I have put forward model answers for questions 1-4. I have been teaching for 20 years and I have been an examiner for 10 years, including some of these papers, so I have a lot of experience in terms of how to approach them. You might be using these as mocks, so might find this useful to feed back AFTER the students have attempted the exams. I have not included the inserts or exam papers due to copyright, but they are freely available on the AQA site. The Presentation is purely my ideas on how to answer these questions and general tips on how to deal with language, structure, and evaluation.
