You need to login or register to continue, description.

This is a ten lesson scheme of work on creative writing that we use to formally introduce year 10 students to Language Paper 1 Question 5 (AQA). It starts with a lesson on building creative confidence through surrealist writing exercises and then the unit progresses from the minutiae of writing (word, sentence and punctuation level) up to inventive narrative structures.

GCSE English Language Paper 1 question 5 planning sheet

This useful planning resource enables students to actively explore an image used as stimulus in preparation for AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 question 5 responses. 

The resource can also be used to support students preparing for any creative writing piece inspired by an image as it enables them to focus on key skills and refine their manipulation of language and its effects.

Students are guided through an analysis of the chosen image and are then supported with relevant activities that zoom in on transferable creative writing skills to boost their writing confidence. 

A sample extract from the resource:

• How does your character move in the setting?
• Write three sentences to describe what they do, where they go and what they see or hear.
• Think of phrases to increase the tension, panic or raise an alarm. What makes your character panic?
