The lessons here are part of an introductory unit to the new Eduqas GCSE English Language course. Most of the lessons are based on material found within the WJEC Eduqas GCSE Book 1 English Language. They are meant to compliment the text and guidance given by Eduqas.

Used for Year 7 classes, these lessons focus on different parts of speech (verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions) and aim to have students paying closer attention to word choices when writing creatively and descriptively. Ideal for London teachers, but could be used or adapted by any. A homework booklet is included. See Part 2 of this unit also... http://goo.gl/2oFOz
