This resource includes a 42 slide PPT (updated Jan 2022) and 2 text extracts (one by Dickens) focused on the ENTIRE reading section of the AQA English language non-fiction paper 2. This sequence of lessons uses 2 texts about traffic collisions (included) and guides pupils through each question with a variety of in lesson activities and strategies to tackle this challenging paper. It covers questions 1 to 4.
This resource was written originally for a high ability year 9 group, but is suitable for years 10 and 11. ‘The Crossing’ extract in particular is quite a challenging and lengthy read so is not as suited to lower ability pupils without some differentiation. The second extract is an account from Dickens about a train wreck he was involved in and is suitable for all abilities.
The 42 slide PPT guides pupils through the following:
- inference and retrieval skills Q1
- summary and synthesis Q2
- An example of a summary for Q2 based on the Dickens text
- Comparing the 2 texts in terms of feelings Q2
- Use of the acronym PEI (comparative point, evidence, inference)
- Mark schemes
- How to approach language analysis Q3
- How to structure a Q3 response, using the acronym PEEZL (point, evidence, explain effect, zoom, link)
- Examples of a band 4 vs a band 2 response for Q3
- How to compare writers’ POVs Q4
- An examplar Q4 response
A really great way to prepare pupils for the non-fiction English Language AQA GCSE paper 2.
