2024 Predicted English Lit exams: Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict, Unseen Poetry (AQA)
AQA style GCSE English Literature exam papers on Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power & Conflict and Unseen Poetry, based on what I anticipate might come up this year - all past extracts/poems are excluded.
I have no inside knowledge in terms of what will be on the exams - this is done by considering aspects such as typical extract length, question styles etc. that AQA use and eliminating anything that has already appeared on their published SAMS and past papers.
Extremely useful if you want full sets of English Literature exam papers that don’t cover past content that clearly won’t come up again!
Heroes Revision Board Game
This covers all of the text including events, characters, themes, context. I used to use this for my GCSE groups and they loved it. All you will need is some dice.
Jekyll and Hyde GCSE Revision Board Game
The board will need to be printed on A3 and could be laminated for reuse. This is a really good way of getting students to revisit their learning and knowledge of the characters, themes, context and events of the novella in a fun and independent way.
I have used this before and the students really enjoy it. All you will need it some dice to play.
You could get students to think of their own questions and tasks too as an extension/challenge.
'A Christmas Carol' exam tasks (AQA GCSE English Literature 8702, Paper 1, Section B)
A comprehensive collection of 23 sample exam tasks on 'A Christmas Carol' by Dickens, in the style of the new specification (8702) AQA English Lit Paper 1 GCSE exam. As with the official sample materials, each task includes brief details about where the extract is from, the extract itself with line numbers, and a question, followed by prompts to refer to the presentation of character/theme/idea/setting in the extract and the novel as a whole.
The tasks are ordered in the same sequence as the extracts appear in the novel, so this would also be useful for recapping the story through key extracts.
