One Sentence,
Both Texts

Structure and comparison knowledge mat for secondary schools

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.

    Cover of One Sentence, Both Texts

    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 — so nothing is quoted from an anthology, a set text or a past paper, and 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.

    Written to
    The DfE GCSE English language subject content (DFE-00232-2013), its assessment objectives quoted verbatim. Extracts are written for the sheet, or out of copyright and verified against the text
    Intended for
    English Language teachers — on the desk during the lesson, not a student revision guide
