A 30-slide PowerPoint that aims to teach the concept of structure in fiction and how to respond to Paper 1, Question 3 (AQA 8700).

The PowerPoint covers:

  1. An entry task based on a quotation from Stephen King
  2. The meaning of structure in fiction texts
  3. The difference between language and structure
  4. Key structural devices including: dialogue, repetition, first sentence/last sentence/narrative standpoint, sequence of events, focus, foreshadowing, foregrounding, analepsis, prolepsis, motif, zoom in, zoom out, cyclical structure, cohesion, symbolism and internal/external contrast. Students cut up a grid of terms and match the terms to their explanations. Some of these are self-explanatory. This activity should be done in pairs, although students should have their own copies for revision purposes.
  5. A sample response in relation to a Question 3 focusing on an extract from ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’. Success criteria included.
  6. Freytag’s Pyramid of Dramatic Structure. Students add detail to a relevant diagram.
  7. Application of Freytag’s Pyramind in relation to the story of Little Red Riding Hood
  8. Application of Freytag’s Pyramid in relation to Paper 1, Question 3
  9. Sample questions for students to complete. Two extracts provided are from ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.
  10. Sample responses to the Jekyll/Carol questions. Student read and judge against the success critera.
  11. An opportunity for peer assessment of their own responses
  12. Self-reflection.

Given the emphasis on clear explanation of structural features, students should be working at or towards level 3 on the relevantAQA mark scheme.
