An in-depth and very detailed powerpoint with stu worksheets - activities and sample reponses for each level. This ppt with activities can be used as seven different lessons or shortened and used as a walk-through. I have shown the criteria/ marking descriptors for each of the questions -what stu need to understand. They have multiple activities for each ques; exploding quotes, labeling 3-4 levels of the alternate responses for each ques I have made according to the particular levels, peer mark their partners responses and improve their work from the knowledge and understanding they’ve gained. Ques 5/6 again has clear marking descriptors and activities. Once they’ve written their own responses, again peer marked approp level with an example response based on level 3, finally improve their work.

The is a detailed lesson for the AQA November 2019 resit exam, Paper 1. I have created 3 different leveled responses for each of the questions ie Levels 2,3,4. The reason is to allow students to understand the differences in each level and to improve their own work. Many tasks are included. One of tasks is for students to label each response and mark their peer’s work. This lesson can be used as a walk through or can be used in at least several different lessons, all resources can be adapted. I have used some transitions in the ppt therefore if you would rather not have them then simply click on transitions in the ribbon and click none for each. The power point should be viewed in a slideshow.

I have compiled and adapted 2 separate and complete toolkits for GCSE students to be used both in and out of the classroom. One toolkit is for the reading paper; AO2; Ques 2,3 and AO4, consists of 36 pages. The second toolkit is specifically for Writing AO5 and AO6, consists of 39 pages. Both contain all the background information needed for all the questions in Paper 1 except for AO1, in extreme detail; structure, language - what that entails , the AQA criteria, examples, tasks, definitions, how to answer the questions appropriately as well as 7 exerpts from texts or short stories, command words, literary definitions, word banks; descriptive and action words, as well as 7 picture prompts. This paper is extremely useful for students to constantly use to look back onto during lessons as well as revision, as a reference and for practice. Great for increasing student recal. The paper is also useful for teachers who will have all the necessary information and examples all in one place. Excellent for student resits. Can be uploaded to your favourite platforms. Please look out for further toolkits for AQA 8700 Paper 2. Toolkits are in word format and contents page needs slight readjustment as more information has been added.

This is the 3rd toolkit I have compiled and adapted for students to use both in and out of the classroom. Total pages are 30 similar content as I have used in Paper 1 Reading and Writing. Including relevant definitions, tips, examples relevant words and phrase banks, all information is included in context to the second reading paper. In order for students to develop their use of vocabulary for appropriate situations and always have one place to look back to either use as a reference, guide and for revision. The more students look back to the same place they will increase their recall skills through what you might call subliminal repetition... Further relevant content has been added. Now in word format.
