AQA: P1, Q2: The Tell-Tale Heart: Mini-mock (Includes preparation resources!)

(0)
A stimulating and relevant ‘mini-mock’ style resource. It is particularly pertinent to AQA Paper 1, Q2/Q5: This resource also includes an array of ‘walkthrough’ tasks that aid pupil understand of the skills needed to answer this question. If you use it this way, I tend to follow this structure: #1 - Read the extract. Find out the meanings of any unfamiliar vocabulary and add these to the accompanying ‘word bank’ (10 minutes - 20 minutes) #2 - Complete the discussion tasks (S&L opportunity) and read the accompanying material (15 - 20 minutes) #3 - Annotate the extract for gothic conventions and language devices (10-15 minutes) #4 - Discuss the reading question and consider the tension graph (10 minutes) #5 - Pupils will plan their own response - Use this as an opportunity to meaningfully gauge pupil understanding (15 -20 minutes) The second ‘one sheet’ operates as a self-contained mock; it builds on the previous walkthrough material. This is a brief outline - Use these however you see fit! Please leave a review! :-) I’ll email you a free resource of your choice!
