English Language Paper 1 tomorrow? EVERYTHING you need
Here's your step by step strategy for GCSE English Language Paper 1, based on how to answer five questions from one fiction film extract. This video walks you through a checklist approach called MELT, plus pre learning the effects of techniques for Question 2 (8 marks) and structural techniques for Question 3 (8 marks), while using cautious tentative and evaluative language for Question 4 (20 marks). For Question 5 (40 marks), it recommends choosing story or description, using show, do not tell, and focusing on atmosphere and sensory detail for description or one main action for story. You'll also find a timing plan starting with Question 5 for 5 to 10 minutes planning and 35 to 40 minutes writing, then reading the extract for 10 minutes, and suggests checking Question 5 at the end for spelling and punctuation.
