Resources

Currently, I share my resources on two main websites: tes and LitDrive. Generally, my free and more recent resources have been placed on LitDrive, with my paid resources being placed on Tes. I continue to look for better alternatives to hosting my resources, so watch this space, as I will start to add free resources below.

Whilst all of the resources below are free to download, I have had people ask me how they can offer a contribution for the resources I freely share. There is no expectation, but you will see a button below to ‘Buy me a coffee’ – if you so wish. A vanilla flat white goes a long way for a thank-you – but you are welcome to download and ignore!

NEW- Language Paper 2 Booklet 2026

NEW- Language Paper 1 Booklet 2026

This booklet is edited so that all papers match the new spec changes, including the altering of bullet points and Q5 adaptations. There are 8 papers included from the AQA back catalogue, with a focus on the newer papers available.

Language Paper 2 Resources

Lots of resources for the run up to the language paper 2 exam, made in 2025, similar structure to the ones uploaded a year ago, which you can see below.

Whole paper overview

A booster for a 1 hour session which goes through every Q with space to write snippets of each answer.
Theme: Communication

Speed mock

A speed mock made for the morning of the exam, with short extracts and a recap of all five questions.
Theme: Coffee Shops

Unseen comparison exams x4

A3 poetry revision pages

A poetry revision mat (I would suggest A3) for every poem in the cluster. The same pattern of tasks so that the focus is on revision of the poem itself and applying skills. Quick and easy – and ideal for independent revision.

Repurposed KS3 Language Paper Packs

I have used the KS3 Y9 packs provided by AQA to make some independent papers for Y11 to complete. They contain the inserts, papers and then the mark scheme.

Daily Revision Pack – 64 page booklet

The idea with this resource is that Monday-Thursday of each week students complete a plan in the order of the texts (Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power and Conflict Poetry). The space for planning is given in the booklets. For Friday-Sunday there are additional language/ unseen poetry resources provided. Note that this resource is made for my school and so half terms are not included, along with our mock exam weeks. The document is also available below for download so that it can be edited for other texts. Enjoy!

Paper 2 resources for the final run

Some super speedy resources. The booster is a run through of the whole paper with short extracts, and space for students to respond to each Q, with an overview. Speed mock is for a maybe 30ish minute session where students are just coming up with ideas for each Q. The others are focused on Q4 and Q5, as they’re worth 60/80 marks in the paper, and offer space for students to plan and write parts of their responses. All available in editable formats.

Suggested papers – 2024

‘Macbeth’ Quotation Praise Cards

Language revision booklet

I’ve put the mini mini mocks from number 7 below (they focus on 1-2 questions) into a booklet, and added five extracts for paper 1 Q4/Q5. I’ve then added space for students to write. I’ll be using these in intervention style tutor periods, so it’s all in one place without a need for an exercise book. May be useful for tutoring/intervention

Easter Revision Resources

4x 4 page documents which offer 4 revision questions for Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls and Power & Conflict poetry. A question, space to plan, then space to write a section of the response. Ideal for revision sessions or revision homework!

Unseen Poetry Booklet: 30 Exam Questions

All past papers, 2017-2022, followed by a range of unseen poems from the previous spec, then a load of poems which I think are of the correct level. I’ve included the word document so that you can make your own in the correct format too. 30 practice questions in total – WITH page numbers – enjoy!

Language Paper 1 Question 5: Exam booklet

With massive thanks to the wonderful Grace Johnston (Twitter here, excellent blog here, Dropbox for these resources here) for kindly allowing me to use/share her resources for P1Q5.

Language Paper 1 and 2: Exam booklets

A 56 page booklet featuring the extracts followed by questions for 7 AQA papers. Page numbers of each paper are redacted and then page numbers are added for ease of use. No order to the papers – other than the order I like to do them in!

A 64 page booklet featuring the extracts followed by questions for 7 AQA papers. Page numbers of each paper are redacted and then page numbers are added for ease of use. No order to the papers – other than the order I like to do them in!
