This super bundle includes offers an engaging route through this new GCSE text by H G Wells. In this bundle you will find an array of engaging activities on all chapters combined with informative slides and tasks that promote independent learning. The powerpoints include assessments and whole text revision activities and resources providing students with a solid knowledge base on which to respond to essays based on themes, characters, language and/or structure. This is everything you need in a clear format to teach this text.
This bundle contains the lessons of Unit 1 (Identity & Relationships with others) of Theme 1 (People and Lifestyle) from the NEW AQA spec.
Each lesson contains sentence builders, tasks that target key skills needed in the GCSE exam and fun activities students can enjoy whilst also learning.
They’ve all been meticulously created to aid students in their success at the GCSE exam. These lessons DON’t contain the activities from the new AQA book. They are different from what you will find in the book but I did follow a similar structure in terms of content.
The activities in the book are also well-planned and if you have access to them, I recommend using them in your lessons along with the activities created by me.
Please bear in mind that any listening activity found in the lessons is meant to be done by the teacher by reading out loud sentences/texts. NO AUDIO is provided.
Each lesson can also be purchased individually if you wish to do so. I have also started working on Theme 2. Units 2 and 3 (Theme 1) are already available in the shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SenoritaDi
