Edexcel have not done a great job of providing SAMs for the new IGCSE, and there are few past papers yet. I have created lots of them. They closely follow the format of the SAMs and past papers. Many of the unseen resources are from old spec IGCSE lang papers. This one uses Danger of a Single Story from the Anthology. It also has a full marks scheme.

This 26 page resource is perfect for A Level Film Studies students studying ‘Captain Fantastic’. It breaks the film into all of its scenes and sections. Each page has boxes for notes on Spectatorship, Ideology and the Elements of Film, making it very useful for answering exam questions later. You can share it with your students electronically so they can fill in the boxes on computers, or just print it off and given them hard copies. It makes revision really manageable.

There is also a full mark scheme.

The sheet explains how syndetic lists differ from lists using commas. It then requires the students to write their own syndetic lists using common nouns and proper nouns and abstract nouns and verbs and adjectives and adverbs. (See what I did there?)

I have copied the text from the Edexcel Anthology and interspersed it with boxes for students to write notes in. The boxes have questions, headings or quotations in them to help guide the learners.

This one is a Paper 1 Reading section which closely follows the foramt of the SAMs. The unseen text is one from the old spec, and the Anthology Text is The Explorer’s Daughter.

This resource contains 11 key extracts from Book 1 of the novel. They have been selected because: they are, in themselves, interesting and revealing moments which shine lights on the settlings and characters of the novel; they are often good examples of Braddon’s style and techniques; and they match very well with extracts from The Cutting Season, which is the novel I pair this one with. Each extract is followed by two boxes: one which allows the students to make notes on any relevant social, historical or biographical contexts which shed light on this extract; the other which encourages the students to make explicit links between this novel and The Cutting Season. If you are pairing Lady A with a different novel, you can easily change the wording in these boxes so they match your choice.

This resource is intended for A Level Lit students, but could work with able GCSE students studying ‘Hamlet’. It works best if the pupils already know the whole plot (from, say, watching a production) and who are now embarking on the nitty-gritty of studying each scene. It is presented here as a Word document whose boxes expand as they are typed in. I find this helps the students’ revision because the questions are near the answers, and can easily be added to as their knowledge grows. I encourage the students to include as much quotation as they can and to do so in a different colour text, again to aid revision later.

This sheet is for use with Eduqas A Level Film students who have chosen to make a short film for their coursework. Once they have made an early rough-cut, you can use this sheet to give them some guidnace on where their work sits so far, and how they could improve it. I have boiled down the mark scheme to the key descriptors, and used the Excellent/Good/Satisfactory etc language from the Bands.
