Jekyll & Hyde, Do It Now, Paper 2, Qu1 Practice

I love Do It Now activities for the starts of lessons! It provides immediate focus for my students and a routine they know well.

I use a range of different Do It Now activities, but these are one of my favourites - they are a bit like sneaking veg into a meal with kids; the task gives multiple wins. They pick up some context or knowledge to support reading the text, practice close reading, build reading stamina for weaker readers and they practice question 2 from AQA Paper Two.

You will recieve:
2 PowerPoints. One with one ticket per page for projection and one with four tickets per page for printing.

AIMS:

*These ‘tickets’ are hardworking activities as they offer multiple gains for your students!

• The content of each ticket provides rich context for the novella or nuggets of general knowledge that will enhance the deeper understanding of the text.
• The style of the activity mirrors AQA English Language Paper 2, Qu 1, so students are getting regular practice.
• Although short, they provide regular reading. They could also be used for fluency practice if students were to read them aloud.**

IDEAS:

How you could use this resource:

• There is a PowerPoint with one ticket per slide for projection in the classroom – students could answer on mini-whiteboards. Perhaps selected students could read the extract aloud. Use as a DO IT NOW or as a plenary after the content has been read in the novella.
• There is a PowerPoint with four ticket per page for printing. Students can then stick in a book and complete as a DO IT NOW or hand in as an EXIT TICKET as they leave the room.
• You can cut the ticket in half and give the text to read as homework and give the true/false to do as a starter next lesson. Or students read the text as a starter and hand in true/false as EXIT TICKET as they leave.
