Year 9Block2SoL Title: 20th and 21st Century Texts (English Language Paper 1, Section A)Aim (Provide a summary of skills to be developed): Develop students’ abilities in KCs 1,2,3,4,5,8. Identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas and select and synthesise evidence from different texts; Explain, comment on and analyse how writers use language and structure to achieve effects and influence readers, using relevant subject terminology to support their views ; Evaluate texts critically and support this with appropriate textual references.Assessment objectives for this block (See LTP): AO1, AO2, AO4 (KCs 1,2,3,4,5,8)Assessment TaskAssessed on:NotesThe assessment for this block focuses on AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 Section A. The assessment will involve all four Section A questions. Note: The actual assessment task will not be available to staff until planning week. AO1, AO2, AO4The assessment will take place in Week 5 of Term 2. There will be one planning lesson and the extract/questions will be released to staff one day before the assessment planning day.
