Designed to explicitly model the thought process behind every question, this resource supports students in understanding both what the examiner is looking for and how to achieve the highest marks.

TEXT USED: The Night Circus.

The resource includes:

• An exam-style fiction extract written specifically for the new AQA Language Paper 1 specification.
• A complete set of exam-style questions suitable for use as a Walking Talking Mock.
• A fully editable PowerPoint that guides teachers through every question using a clear I Do – We Do – You Do structure.
• Model paragraphs demonstrating responses at Level 4, Level 3 and Level 2 for each question, allowing students to compare the features of different standards.
• Explicit references to the AQA mark schemes and indicative content throughout, helping students understand exactly how marks are awarded.
• Step-by-step teaching points that break down the skills required for every question.
• Dedicated guidance for Question 5, covering both narrative and descriptive writing approaches, with practical strategies students can apply in the exam.

Perfect for whole-class teaching, revision lessons or intervention sessions, this resource removes the guesswork from exam preparation by modelling expert thinking at every stage. Students are supported from understanding the question, to constructing high-quality responses independently, making it an ideal resource for building confidence before the exam.
