Hi This workbook contains 13 activities that are tailored to Edexcel and AQA, but mainly Edexcel. The transactional writing activities can be used for most specs. Inside is: SPaG activities Spider Diagram/Story planner Non Fiction Fiction MOCKS Comparison 7a and 7b Speeches Articles Text Book Letters Please review/share :)

An easy quiz with 10 questions that tests skills relating to the GCSE English Edexcel spec, but can be used generically for language and structure features.

An adaptable article writing activity to help students with the layout of an article.

Two non-fiction articles that can be used for any spec requiring compare and contrast questions.

This is a 2 sided A3 resource I designed to help students write a monologue. The piece of descriptive writing on the back is a short story I made up. The monologue the switches the focal point of the writing from descriptive to an internal narrative. This is for the Edexcel GCSE English language spec and relates to the creative writing element of the exam. There are also 3 different types of monologues on the back to help students understand the different styles in which monologues can written. Intended to be printed on A3.

I found a Hiroshima extract from Edexcel's website, however, I added an article I found about the war in Syria and made it into a comparison question activity. Feel free to adapt.

I took an excerpt from Hard Times and made this A3 activity to help with summarising and analysing skills. Each activity is times and hopefully it can help with behaviour management or timings for the exam. Enjoy :)

A quiz testing evaluation skills for the Edexcel GCSE English language spec.

Hi all I have tried to create a visually pleasing resource that is broken up in such a way that will help students analyse a text. This can be used for any exam board for GCSE - I use it to analyse how the writer uses language and structure/evaluation. Please leave a review if you like it.

Hi Please find an adaptable A3 activity that will help students with their creative writing. Blue box at the top = the creative writing question Errors I will avoid = errors you keep seeing in people’s work and will help students Spider diagram = come up with as many things that you could write about Blue box = pick one thing from the spider diagram and plan it out nice and simple Enjoy :) Jack

Please find several different creative writing stories that have a plan for each story and a link to where the idea came from. The first two stories have been done with annotations are the side explaining what makes them a good story! (In my humbled opinion) The stories follow the traditional method of planning a story, most use a flashback technique and the last one is an experimental technique that could be used for students who are looking to really challenge themselves. I hope this helps your students with creative writing, especially if they struggle to come up with ideas! Remember, great artists steal and bad artists borrow. Also, creativity is not synonymous with originality. BOOM! Many thanks Jack

This A3 can be adapted and edited via publisher. You can also print off and cut out the quotes and the mini whiteboards for a more hands-on approach. Please review :)

Help students with their analysis by using this slogan activity. Students analyse the words, and consider the connotations of certain words. This will help them for language and structure for most specs!

Hi This can be printed for students or displayed in a classroom. It will help students analyse language and structure for any spec by giving them a simple step by step process. Useful for learners who struggle to analyse any text.

Please find an article I found online that was produced by a robot! I have edited the original document. After the article are a series of questions that relate to language and structure techniques in the text. These mini questions are scaffolded to assist in answering the last questions. You will also find teachers’ notes. Enjoy!

This is a checklist I designed on publisher and can be edited by yourself. It can be used either A4 or A3 and used in class. I plan to use this with my students so they all have a checklist that they can use when completing their work. You can either type the key words or sentences you want them to use or you can fill it out as class. The last box asks students to tell you exactly where in their work they have used the key word/s or sentences and if they haven't you can use this to aid in their development for the next class. It is aesthetically pleasing and it is better than just writing down a checklist in class that students probably won't use again whereas this can be used many times. Enjoy!

Use these as a display or for sticking in the front of books! Specifically for Edexcel GCSE English Lanuage, but the process may apply to other specs. They include: A 5 step process on how to evaluate simply. 3 separate answers to a sample evaluation questions. Helps students break down the evaluate process and see what kind of answers are required to access top marks.
