This pack of picture questions is designed for AQA GCSE English Language 9-1. They simulate Paper 1 Question 5 where students are given a picture and are presented with two options (it’s hard, almost to call them questions!). The tasks can be for a descriptive or a narrative response. This pack of questions covers narrative responses. There are 20 options (which look great laminated!) and each picture has at least two story suggestions on it.

The pack gives teachers the opportunity to have a selection of ready-made questions for Paper 1 Question 5. These can be used to ensure that there are always writing tasks at hand. They might be used to stimulate class or small group discussion or can be used as interchangeable exercises to be done during a session. I hope that there is a sufficient variety of images in this pack to pique the interest of even the most reluctant of writers. By giving your learners a choice of task (while the assessment objectives - A05 and A06 remain the same) these sample questions might help to ensure both differentiation and an element of choice.

Each is formatted to include the question on a single A4 sheet. The originals are also included on their own if you would like to use them without the question stimulus.

They would probably also be very useful if you are covering a class - the skills that students develop with these questions are vital for success in GCSE English as this question alone represents 25% of the entire exam.

There is a tie in with the (FREE) As Told By Teachers anthology here, in as much as some of the story suggestions have the same title as some in the anthology. As such, you can use the ones in the anthology as exemplars, if you should so wish. They are:

  • Lost (slide 2)
  • Story on a winter’s evening (slide 7)
  • Breakfast had been well and truly interrupted (slide 8)
  • The girl who came back (slide 16)

All of the wonderful pictures have been ethically sourced and are available under a Creative Commons license which means you do not have to worry about copyright with them at all. Each originator is credited by use of a link to the original.
