This resource is for use when preparing students for the English Literature Component 1, Section A (extract question) section of the exam. I have used this with my Y10 set 4 (of 6) and it covered 2 lessons. This may vary depending on your class. The section for analysis is from Act 3, Scene 5 (lines 141-159) and explores some of the argument between Capulet and Juliet. The resource covers how to approach an extract question, putting it into context, annotations (whole class and paired) then completing a table of analysis, before writing their answer up in 20 minutes. I've included model examples in the table and another as a paragraph of analysis. I've have included a breakdown of the assessment objectives (AO1 and AO2) and a brief markscheme with 'Band 5' and 'Band 3' criteria, that links to each AO. There is a slide with exam reminders at the end. You will need to source the extract. Hope it's useful! I'll be adding more of this type of resource as I've used them. Please leave feedback if you choose to purchase, thanks!
