A exam skills ppt I have created to help students understand how to access exam style question in A-level biology In ppt the following is covered; Thinking time Key word association Decoding questions Comprehension questions Answering ‘suggest’ questions What to do if you don’t know the answer to a question Example questions and mark scheme

I am a A Level Biology Teacher who has taught the AQA specification for over 11 years. These are SIMPLE but COMPLETE lessons, lasting roughly 50 minutes to 1 hour. They follow the standard form of lessons complete with the following; Starters Activities Answers AfL - with answers Exam Skills and Practice Plenaries They are not formatted with any particular design so that you can copy and paste them into your school’s powerpoint layouts. This is a part of a series of lessons I am making, based on the idea that when you download resources from TES you often have to reformat to your school’s own powerpoint layouts. This can be very time consuming as often the layout significantly changes. These are made on the basic layout of ppts so that there is minimal disruption to the layout. They are not designed to present straight to students but a much cheaper alternative - they are for you to make your own.

This resource has 4 lessons, each one with teacher notes, assessment for learning points, plenaries, videos, practical instructions, print outs and differentiated work for high and low ability. Created by me but I have but have used other resources such as pictures and youtube video links.

NB: You need to download the FREE instructions for this resources too!! NEVER spend ages writing the same comments in books over and over again! This form will literally generate comments you can stick into students books in minutes. I created and have used this for the past 2 years (out of 6 teaching) and I will always use it. My hand writing is very messy and this helps all my students especially students with dyslexia. Simply type in your comments then select what comment you want to use for each student and it will automatically generate a grade/level and comment with a task how to improve. With this you can print and stick in less than 30mins!

This revision session has several knowledge and application tasks for an approx. 1 hour lesson. Students can complete each task together or on their own, mark their own work and make improvements.
