A practice exam paper for the new AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2A: Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives, linked by the theme of 'Elephants', using an extract from an autobiographical essay written by George Orwell in 1936 and a 21st C tabloid online newspaper article regarding the exposure of animal cruelty suffered by England's last circus elephant.
The texts and the format of the exam Qs follow that published by AQA in the approved specimen materials.
Please note: As these resources were originally designed for use by pupils at Key Stage 3, introducing the format and the skills tested by the new GCSE, Orwell's work was published in 1936 but, for the purposes of introducing contrasting viewpoints and attitudes at KS3, it is suitably challenging.
I hope it is of some use to you.

Do you have the mark scheme
Do you realise how close you are here to AQA's November 2019 exam? I know that the Orwell text appeared in an OCR paper back in 2011 but AQA have chosen to use it again. They should have checked TES as your resource has been up for years - and should have avoided the Orwell text completely.
Practice paper was a great resource for a student who was not prepared for exam.
