CCEA GCSE English Literature: Poetry: Identity Anthology - teaching notes

show students Fred and George YouTube clip (interrupting OWL examinations) then ask students to write letter of complaint as the Head Master

CCEA GCSE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: Unit 1 - Paper 1 Section B - Book Cover. This is a sample question created for the new gcse specification. I usually introduce the things they should look out for in book covers: GENRE, AUDIENCE, PURPOSE (G.A.P.) sell the book cover/ persuade the reader to purchase create enigma or intrigue hints at the narrative structure / plot endears the reader to the main protagonist setting narrative P.O.V. (Is it first person to create a confiding tone?) and tense (present for a sense of immediacy?) sentence structuring and punctuation for various effects language devices tone Then I use the assessment matrix to mark it. I’ll take a good essay, scan it in, share it with the class and give them a matrix, letting the students ‘be the examiner’ and annotate the sample essay explaining why it is good and what they could do to improve. Hope this helps.
