A graphic organiser that helps students to generate ideas in order to plan the writing of a climax for a narrative. This has been designed for the new AQA GCSE English Language paper 1 section B exam.
This is a series of worksheets and information sheets that I have created for the boys I work with in the Young Offenders Institute.

This list is not exhaustive, I will be creating worksheets regularly and will update the list as and when.
I have numbered the tasks to eventually collate them into a full booklet. I will be uploading the tasks and info in subjects (see above). Once I have created and uploaded them all I will create a bundle as well. I will also be creating a checklist so that as each sheet is completed, they can be ticked off.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
I will be continually adding similar resources as I produce them.
**I have uploaded these as PDFs due to the large file sizes and to avoid any of the elements moving on the designs. If you require an editable copy, please email me nataliesheldon86@outlook.com **
