Eduqas English Language Component Revision Mat

This is for students to revise expectations for Component 1. It reviews the marks awarded, the timings and the gritty specifics to Comp 1. This resource is only suitable for use with teacher guidance and is only accurate to GCSE after the Summer GCSE 2018. It is quite prescriptive with timings, and working smart with the question marks and Section B. It is an A3 format. Hope it helps.

Checking out me history worksheet revision GCSE

(0)
This is a quick half lesson worksheet for AQA power and conflict Agard’s poem The worksheet reminds students to focus on key quotes - refresh analysis and to re-consider context. It is not a first wave introduction to the poem! The worksheet refers to a short youtube clip about ingrained racism ( Taikai Waititi’s parody 2 minutes long) to help students to connect to higher order ideas about humour being used to deflect serious issues

How to obtain a grade 4 GCSE English language pre exam push

How to obtain a grade 4 GCSE English language pre exam push

(0)
This is where maths meets English - this resouce tackles the maths in the marking and the bare bones focus on Section B AQA - ultimately students need a grade 4 and Sections B is worth half the marks The resources does not contain endless revision practise but explains each action, or inaction they take will have consequences on how marks, awarded positively can, or can not be achieved. It firmly suggests that the two papers section Bs worth 80/160 marks must be a priority, and if you are not teaching with that in mind, this won’t help you :) The PPt goes over the basics, examples some sentence startes for creative writing, and concludes with some quaisi provocative news articles to generate students having a point of view: it includes the news story about ‘john’ the primary teacher living out of his car [ jan 2024] I have always found this back to basics - this is how marks are scored - centres the weaker students on the 4 - this is not suitable for the students aiming for 6 and above - it is very suitable for EAL

London by Blake Summer 2022 exams

(0)
This is a revision lesson, not an introduction lesson, which focuses on what if LONDON is the main poem for Power and Conflict in 2022? Or if you want to use LONDON for the conrast/compare poem! The PPT takes through ideas for students who have heard of pathos and logos for example, it has four practise questions, it condenses quotes to the main quotes, and easiest high level techniques. It has a comparogram slide for the students to self select what would work with LONDON ( and you can adapt that for any of the 15 poems!) Working through the PPT excluding the exam question practise would suit 60 to 90 minute lesson It also has a no jargon breakdown of the AOs

AQA Multicultural London English A Level

(0)
This is a one off lesson - about 60 to 90 minutes - and has links for students to do further reading which is why it could take 90 minutes. It has some excerpts from the controversial Ed West article in the Telegraph from 2011 which no longer seems to be online Primarily this is guided lesson, wherein the student task is to summarised what they have learned and do some independant learning Either class room or online There once was a teachit resource for the two newsaper articles [ back in 2017] but you would need to source that yourself!

The Victorian era - context for literature

The Victorian era - context for literature

(0)
This is an information PPT - not especially interactive, I used for a very low level Year 10 - who were struggling with Sherlock Holmes and the context (Sign of F|our) - - I had them self select two important pieces of self selected information from the slides and then research from the last slide - no surprise what they gravitated to with screams of horror! [ spoiler alert contraception in the 19th century] and nearly as popular of course, Jack the Ripper and media students explored the media aspects of the influence of newspapers for cross curricula

Knowledge Organiser [5] The Taming of the Shrew Shakespeare

(0)
This is a series of 5 knowledge organisers which build sequentially from each other introducing the form of the play, acts, context and moving onto the complicated ideas about how/if this is a comedy. The 5th organiser focuses on Kates Act 5 speech and 3 of the organisers have prompt essay questions. I have also attached a teacher viewing sheet of online video verision which had working links checked in August 2022 - obviously these can change I also attach a copy of the 2012 Guardian review which is a helpful tool for classroom discussions.

Macbeth revision GCSE

(0)
This is a collection of resources compiled over the past 15 years! They are a combination of teacher led, homework, group work, suiting lower to higher level groups. Some is very much stand alone lessons, and they are resources I dip in and out of yearly, updating and changing as cohorts bring new challenges or ideas. Macbeth has been my old friend since my A Level days, in another century - I hope you find something in here useful!

Hamlet revision act 2

(0)
This is a stand alone lesson - it would take 2-3 hours to complete - it could be set for online, or if a student feels they need more than they have been taught - this is what revision should look like and could be done collaboratively online It is is best teacher led and requires a teacher to have a sound knowledge of the play Contains essay task - suitable for OCR but this will work with any A level board

Hamlet Revision Act 1

(0)
Whilst this targets A Level OCR it can be used for any board for revision: the PPT takes students through the basics of ACT 1, what really is the absolute minimum of expectation of knowledge [ teaching!] It could be used as an online self paced module - it does have writing tasks and esssay question - a student could use this if they are concerned they need more than they have been taught, in progresive linear format

AQA Crime poems KS5 Wilde Crabbe Browning

(0)
The poems are for AQA Crime They are for teachers who know how to teach poetry at KS5 and they are sectioned to work through in an order building knowledge Browning then Wilde than Crabbe These PPTS do NOT focus on low level line by line analysis but link to higher order thought - deep links to the AO’s : if students do not write to the AOs they get lower marks. Teachers are advised to review these - this is not self paced work, not suitable to post as work from home - more suitable for students who want and work towards A* A B or a higher C

Kia Ora, Exam prep PPT added 2024 UK series updarted Janu 2024! too with three new PPTS including one which gives a short but important factual details about NZ/ being Maori and Jewish which is Waititi’s background! One linking gender and humour in the film there is also and update from June 2023 - added a sentence starter PPT for exam revision post the Summer 2023 UK exam series this resource has been re-written for the new eduqas film studies GCSE set texts global - and I am excited! I lobbied for this film to be considered so YAY! The workbook has been updated [ april 2022] and has a detachable back page if you want to avoid the spoiler of Rosa. It’s 22 pages and will form an teaching and revision guide The workbook takes the students through the who what and why - and with the PPTS should get them ready to answer some questions as well as provide a solid introduction to the satire of the film, the context and filming. There are three PPTs ** see uodates now 5+ - the longest is aimed at film, but can work with an English subject eg the NZ curriculm and will fit into an extended media study of film The two worksheets are to support film viewing for any of the subjects as the teacher can select the emphasis The longer PPT has a research task, an end of module essay. Youtube markers are current as at 27/09/2020 I anticipate adding to this so please check in for updates after the UK summer 2024 exams - although this film will not be examined until 2024 by eduqas. I will be uploading more questions in August 2024
