Because Edexcel have not been too great about creating SAMs for the new IGCSE Language spec I decided to have a go myself. This one is a Paper 1 which closely follows the foramt of the SAMs. The unseen text is one from the old spec, and the Anthology Text is Danger of a Single Story There are two writing questions, too, and the whole thing looks just like a real paper. There is also a full mark scheme.

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.

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 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.

For Edexcel IGCSE Literature, pupils need to include lots of relevant context in their exam essays on the novel. I have designed this booklet as a handy way for students to collect lots of context stuff in a way that makes it easy to refer to and revise from. There’s a page for exploring how the title, taken from Burns’ To a Mouse links to each chapter in the novel. Next, there are pages dedicated to each chapter, with plenty of room for recording textual examples and quotations as well as context. The final pages are organised by character, so the students can quickly revise the relevant context connected to each of them. Please note: I haven’t included the contextual information in the booklet. This is merely a handy way of organising what they find out.

This is the full extract for the Edexcel IGCSE Language specification with boxes at various points for the students to write in. The boxes contain questions, prompts and ideas to help focus their notes on language and structure. I find them very useful in the classromm, espcially with lower ability pupils. They would also work really well for pupils forced to learn at home because of Covid outbreaks, for example.

This novel by Attica Locke is new on the Edexcel A Level Lit course in the Prose Unit. There’s very little out there yet to support students’ learning as they read, so I have developed an analysis sheet to accompany each chapter. Depending on the importance of each chapter, each sheet has all or some of the following: A space for the students to write a brief synopsis of the events of the chapter; 1 - 8 short answer questions to develop their understanding of the plot and characters; A space to record anything interesting or important they found about the language, form and structure; A space to record any relevant contextual information which aids understanding of the chapter. Some of the sheets also contain a Deep Dive question, which requires them to write a 500 word response to a character or theme based question. Each sheet has fields for the students can type directly into.
