Structure, and comparing texts
GCSE English Language knowledge mat
One Sentence, Both Texts
You have written a page about each text. Why might that score nothing for comparison? Structure as order, not paragraphs; finding the turn; comparison held in one sentence; two extracts written for the sheet, same subject and opposite perspectives, annotated; a comparison sentence built in three moves; four questions that produce a structural point every time. Seven terms to define, a model answer comparing two attitudes, and the misconceptions that cost marks.

Everything else this site has for English Language: English Language teaching resources
One landscape A4 page on one skill, built on the DfE’s own assessment objectives rather than a board’s paraphrase. It carries structure as order, the turn, comparison in one sentence, two annotated extracts and a comparison sentence built in three moves, then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style answer and the misconceptions that cost marks.
The extracts are written for the sheet, or out of copyright and verified against the text. Nothing is quoted from an anthology, a set text or a past paper, so the sheet can be photocopied for a class and stay compliant. Every claim is sourced, and the assessment objectives are quoted verbatim from the DfE document.
Sold by subject: all four English Language sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.
