AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 Question 3 template
This helpful resource enables students who are studying for the AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 specification to develop confidence and skills appropriate to answering question 3 effectively.
The generic template can be used as a simple and easy pathway to approach structural analysis for GCSE English Language Paper 1. It is particularly supportive for middle to lower attaining students, but can be equally as useful for any student as they begin to think about how to craft question 3 responses.
Structural questions are used as prompts to help students zoom in on key points to analyse. This foundation then enables them to zoom out and consider the effects of structure in the specific text as a whole. This process empowers students to deepen their understanding of how writers manipulate structural aspects for effect.
A sample extract from the resource:
1. Where has the writer dropped us at the beginning of the source? Why? Think about the effects.
2. Are there any flashes moving the time, action, character, story or pace forwards or backwards? What are the effects?
