NEW 2015 SPEC AQA SOL: Much Ado about Nothing with Reading Paper 2 Section A skills

This SOL includes 24 lessons in total (including a mid-assessment and an end of unit assessment). Each lesson is detailed and fully differentiated using a 3 tier (challenge, stretch and super stretch) system for starter activities and main tasks. All accompanying resources, including relevant extracts from the play, are included in this SOL; they are all ready for printing.

It explores the Shakespeare text 'Much Ado About Nothing' using the skills required to succeed in Section A of Reading Paper 2 (AQA English Language). These skills are explored through the source text and through thematic non-fiction texts. It teaches context, summary skills, comparison skills and the all-important AO2 language skills.

This was made with the purpose of supporting our department (of mainly new staff and trainee teachers) by having lessons that we only needed to tweak for the needs of our students, instead of spending hours struggling to invent the same wheel individually.

This SOL can be used for higher ability students in years 9-11.
