1. Lesson Objective: By the end of this lesson we will have: - Reminded ourselves of the requirements for each question on the Language Paper (Q1, 2 and 3) 13 th March 2012

2. Starter: Refresh: What do you have to do for each of the Questions on the FLE (First Language English) Examination Paper? MATCH UP the question with the correct description Text Transformation - Changing the extract you’re given into another form (interview, diary, report etc.) (Passage A and Passage B) Highlighting and explaining effective phrases (Passage A) Comparing/Summarising the information from two extracts (Passage A and Passage B) Q1 Q2 Q3

3. Read through this article. As you read through, give each paragraph a title.

5. Question 1: (Text Transformation) You are the writer of this article. You are giving a “Careers Talk” to a group of Year 10 students. Write the script for your speech. In your speech, you should include: i) the benefits of being a travel writer, and ii) some of the drawbacks. Marks = 20 /15 (one mark for each “bit” of information you include) / 5 (for communication)

6. Question 2: (Identifying effective phrases) Identify effective quotes (words or phrases) that the writer uses to add description to their writing. Explain the effect of each of these quotes. Eg.: “Hellish family vacation” – this quote effectively uses “hellish” to tell the reader that the vacation wasn’t enjoyable. This is a paradox, as vacations are usually thought of as being positive things, whereas hell is a very negative image. Marks = 10 10 marks for each quote AND explanation that you use.

7. Question 3: (Compare and Summarise) Look at this extract from “An Idiot Abroad”. The writer of Passage A and “Karl” are both paid travel writers/presenters. Summarise the positives of being a travel writer. Summarise the negative of being a travel writer. Marks = 20 /15 (one mark for each “bit” of information you include) / 5 (for communication)
