Sometimes, the specimen papers are just a little bland...

This is a practice English Language Paper 1, both sections A and B. The theme of the questions come from the horror genre, where Section A uses an extract from Stephen King's novel, Salem's Lot; section B uses a thriller picture prompt to creatively write a narrative or description.

Available in my shop are creative writing resource units that build the skills necessary to be successful in Section B of this paper, such as the "Worlds Unlike Our Own" unit. If you give any of these resources a try, leave a reply!

This is quite an effective passage but it would be better to use an extract that doesn't have artificial breaks as this affects the structure and students' understanding of writer's methods / intentions. I've also amended the wording of Q2 and Q3 so they follow the AQA format.

This is fantastic as a last minute practise for year 11 who are beginning to go off the boil, especially with the new film coming out! Thanks you so much for sharing your free resource.
