This is a seven lesson workbook (31 pages) that takes students step by step through the skills of reading and writing, using a scary theme to keep it fun but spooky. It’s designed so pupils can complete it independently at home or in class, with clear instructions and examples on each page.

This activity combines Language Paper 1, question 2 and Language Paper 2, question 3. Students are asked to analyse a range of lyrics from a multitude of Christmas songs. Sentence starters included but can be removed if desired. Students are also given a statement around whether Christmas should be every day in conjunction with Language Paper 2, question 5.

This acitivity includes two writing activities based on both Language papers. Some short examples of each are included to help students understand the difference in content followed by a Christmas SPAG check to remind students of some of the AO6 elements they need to use.

I have created an AQA GCSE Language inspired Paper 2 based around the topic of ghosts, in preparation for Halloween. Some sentence starters included with question 1-4.

Trialled and tested with a challenging class of boys in an Alternative Provision. Two articles based on violent video games accompanied by reading questions 1-4 and a writing question 5. All linked to the AQA 8700 exmainations. The first article is highlighted to allow students to label examples of DAFORREST as a starter activity. Students can do the same for the second article independently creating a key of their own.

I have included short chunks of texts with questions underneath, directly indicating what question in Language Paper 1 it refers to, Includes Q1-5.

I work in an Alternative Provision and have created a revision guide to help students understand the concepts for AQA GCSE Language Paper 1. This booklet contains exemplar answers for each question. I hope you find it useful! Stay tuned for Language Paper 2…

I have created 2 documents for students that I work with in an Alternative Provision. They absolutely adore dogs and we are working on the the writing component of Functional Skills. The Functional Skills writing tasks are appropriate for Entry Level 3/Level 1 and includes: email writing and a letter of complaint. The higher ability writing document included asks students to: pick an image and write a description and respond to a statement about dogs as pets. This higher level document also includes an example lively article around vaping so that students can see what a good one looks like. It has been extremely successful with my students so hopefully will interest other learners out there!

I have used the extracts from the AQA June 2021 series (Language Paper 1) and AQA June 2017 series (Language Paper 2) in order to put together my revision guides. I work in an Alternative Provision so created something that was informative and easy to follow as a lot of guides online are too wordy for my students. I hope this is useful! Language Paper 2 guide is also available.
