AQA Paper 1 & 2 Walking-Talking Mock Bundle

Bundle includes: AQA Paper 1 Walking-Talking Mock and AQA Paper 2 Walking-Talking Mock

Prepare your students for both AQA GCSE English Language papers (8700) with two complete, ready-to-teach walking-talking mocks built around the current paper format for 2026/27. The teacher leads the class through each paper, one question at a time, with timings. Students learn how to use the 1 hour 45 minutes on each paper well before they sit silent mocks.

Paper 1: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing

19-page booklet (Word + PDF): a teacher guide with a timing plan, the full student paper, teacher marking guidance and a student self-review page.
Original 21st-century fiction source, “The Marsh Light”, with 43 numbered lines.
All five questions in the current format:
Q1: four multiple-choice questions
Q2: language analysis
Q3: structure with one named effect
Q4: evaluate a statement
Q5: description or story opening
Two 22-slide PowerPoints: one fully editable, one fixed-layout.

Paper 2: Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives

21-page booklet (Word + PDF): a teacher guide with a timing plan, the full student paper, teacher marking guidance and a student self-review page.
Two paired sources: an original 21st-century article about the crowds on Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), and Isabella Bird’s 1879 account of climbing Long’s Peak (public domain).
All five questions in the current format:
Q1: choose four true statements
Q2: infer the differences
Q3: language analysis
Q4: compare the writers’ perspectives
Q5: a newspaper article giving your viewpoint
Two 21-slide PowerPoints: one fully editable, one fixed-layout.

In both mocks

A scripted walk-through for every question: what to say, how long to talk and how long students write.
The teacher script in the PowerPoint speaker notes, plus full-screen timing slides.
Models built on invented examples, so nothing from the sources is given away.
Indicative content and mark guidance for every question, written in our own words, including the rules that limit marks.

Why teachers use it

Students practise both papers with the same routine, building exam timing and stamina before the real thing.
It works for Year 10 or Year 11, whole class or intervention.
You can print it and teach it with no preparation.
It costs less than buying the two mocks separately.
