AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 question 2 Paper 2 question 3 "The Island of Dr Moreau" lrevision

This is a short and (hopefully) straightforward powerpoint using a very short extract from “The Island of Dr Moreau” by H.G.Wells. The lesson uses questioning to provide the ideas for a modelled first paragraph of a response after which students are asked to work more independently to complete the response. For less confident students, the evidence is already selected. You may wish to add challenge by asking students to select their own evidence. The last two slides are the printables.

At the end of the lesson, students are asked to identify two of Wells’ effective methods and use them in their own descriptive writing. This task could be used to extend the lesson or set for homework.
