This collection of worksheets contains skills six different focuses: Reading Fiction, Reading Non-Fiction, Writing Fiction, Writing Non-Fiction, SPaG, and Speaking and Listening assessment. Each workbook is skill-specific, rather than task specific, meaning they can be used for any exam board’s English Language GCSE. These worksheets can be used as homework, AFL tasks, improvement tasks after assessments, or just used as a part of regular lessons. Additionally, copying and pasting these into individual documents can create separate online tasks which students can access remotely/digitally if necessary.

This is a short scheme of work for working on AQA’s English Language Paper 1, including a brief focus on each question’s success criteria and quick tips for students to focus their work.

These lessons are made for Year 11s reviewing the Power and Conflict Poetry within the AQA Literature Poetry Anthology. The focus of these lessons is on finding thematic links between the poems, not necessarily on teaching the content within each poem. These poems were made for a top set group who were asked to have revised / annotated each of the poems themselves and have a strong grasp of each poem before coming to lesson. Lessons focus on a) building strong ideas about the ideas poets convey and b) discussing and comparing how poets’ methods convey thematically similar/different ideas through methods. There is also a strong focus on AO3 and the context of each poem which helps students form strong AO1 ideas. Fruits are used throughout the lessons’ tasks to designate different groupings. Context Sheets mentioned in lessons are not included, as I originally borrowed these resources. Any reference to context sheets will need to be found by teachers.

This resource was made for my year 11 classes to practice planning and answering Power & Conflict poetry questions while I am away on holiday :) This workbook would be a great extended homework for year 11s, including differentiated prompts to help students get started planning their questions and sample answers/planning as guidance.
