0500 First Language English IGCSE: Whole Course 30+ PowerPoints, Worksheets, Online Quizzes and more

This is my whole year’s worth of lessons that I used to teach CIE 0500 First Language English IGCSE to Chinese EAL students. I organised the files by topic, so it’s not chronological, as you can dip in to whichever section your class most needs. I also included my Forms quizzes, starter booklet with short answer practices and revision materials, including a link to my one hour video lesson for question 3. All the folders, files, worksheets etc, in the preview video are included. I put each folder into a zip file so that everything would stay organised.

Included:

• Question 1 - Summaries: lessons going over paraphrasing techniques with a model answer and tips
• Question 2 - Language analysis: many lessons on this, including one on the song Blowin’ in the Wind and many from past exams. I also made a PowerPoint in which I go over common effects that I found when going over past papers (in the revision folder).
• Question 3 - Extended response: lessons for the major text types, speeches, newspaper, magazine, interview, diary and letter. Exam tips for approaching this question. Includes engaging material such as Harvey Milk and JFK speeches.
• Narrative writing - tips and tricks, going over plot structure and climax, looking at engaging openings.
• Descriptive writing - tips and tricks, exemplar, lesson on extended metaphors and developing a range of imagery.
• Evaluative response - PPT and resources to give a rebuttal to an article about school uniforms with a plan included.
• Six Forms quizzes (mostly self marking) which offer short answer question practice
• Starter booklet for short answer questions
• My video lesson for Q3 is included as a link in the revision folder
• Student friendly overview of the course

**Please note that I planned this for the coursework element, but both coursework and Paper 2 need the same text types being taught with near-identical mark schemes: narrative writing, descriptive writing and the response to text. **Therefore I think that this resources is equally as valuable to everyone doing both assessed and coursework routes - but with exam route, of course you’d also want to give students some exam practices after teaching the skills in my lessons.
