AQA English Language Paper 1 lesson that has been recently revamped to focus on genre conventions and how a writer can move away from conventions to play with people’s expectations and thus build up tension even more. A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that helps students to analyse a text for building a sense of tension and terror. The lesson, ideal for both KS3 and KS4 students preparing for AQA English Language Paper 1 Section A, focuses on an extract and explores genre, tension and combining the two for effect.
