GCSE Writing for success French Edexcel

I’m more than happy to share resources. If you’re happy with them, feel free pressing the coffee link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MrBCurrier if my resources have helped you.

Tiering
A booklet has been created for both Foundation and Higher tier as there are some elements not assessed in both exams.

Foundation booklet
In the Foundation booklet, I have reminded the pupils of the ‘I can’ statements for their four parts to their writing exam; photo card, 40-50 words, 80-90 words and five sentence translation. For each part of these, pupils have their assessment grids with WAGOLL examples and space for them to prepare their own responses. Also, I have chosen different topics for pupils to plan writing questions on.

Higher booklet
In the Higher booklet, again, I have provided the pupils with their ‘I can’ statements for their three parts; 80-90 words, 130-150 words and paragraph translation. Similarly to the Foundation booklet, pupil have their assessment grids with WAGOLL examples and space for them to prepare their own responses.

Writing planning
The acronyms P.P.OF and J.O.E are key to our writing planning and they are explained below.

P.P.O.F
Past Present Opinion and Future is one acronym all our pupils in Languages are used to as we encourage all written and spoken communication to contain the four parts. These are also the fundamental four parts that are included in the 80-90 and 130-150 words writing tasks. For each part of P.P.O.F I have provided the most essential parts to them and also given pupils a blank version for them to jot anything down to help them remember and add in their own individuality.

J.O.E
Remember to Justify your Opinion with an Example. There is always a need for pupils to elaborate their opinions and we encourage them to use J.O.E. This is very important for the 130-150 words writing task as pupils need to justify their ideas and opinions.
