What do teachers say about this resource? (7146)
An excellent resource with interesting and engaging texts... I liked the step-by-step development of skills where students can practise analysing words and literary techniques in order to gain confidence to answer full questions... The extracts with pre-reading hints and tables to link and identify points, will help students to feel more confident... 15-mark questions can be daunting, but giving students clues about what to look for improves answers... All the terminology is included but in a manageable way so that students can pick out grammar in texts and highlight the writer`s intention. Peer assessment will enable students to learn from each other by trial and error and build up to complete papers.
A very good resource... Excellent preparation for the exam... Matches the new spec perfectly and provides additional papers which are very useful in these early days of the new syllabus... Good differentiation plus good initial questions including vocab-building and discussion-based activities to engage pupils... Useful for anyone teaching Edexcel English Language GCSE.
I particularly like the progression of tasks and how they link closely to the AOs. I also like the detailed answer sheets for students to self- and peer mark, which is particularly useful for developing independent learning skills.
Excellent – great extracts and ideas for pupils to break down each question. The extracts were ambitious but not inaccessible... Supports accessing the exam style questions... Contains numerous extracts, relatable tasks, mark schemes... nothing to not like.
