Language Paper 1 Section A Questions 1 - 4 on Alice in Wonderland
Three lessons on an extract from Alice in Wonderland which have been differentiated in the following ways:
differentiated learning objectives,
example answers,
sentence starters,
challenge tasks,
extension tasks.
The lessons feature the mark scheme as it appears on the AQA website.
There is also a revision booklet featuring example answers from AQA, practice questions on two papers and the mark scheme. I used this to set homework to allow students to use modelled answers to improve their work.
