Language Paper 1 Fiction
This extract gives weaker students a simplified and broken down way of accessing a fiction text. The extract is taken from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. The first part poses comprehension and language activities to ensure the text is carefully read. The theme of the text is Gothic and students will be able to bring lots of contextual knowledge to discussions about this extract. The second part gives questions which follow the style of Language Paper 1 for any exam board - analysing language, writing about structure and evaluating a section of the extract.
The lesson comes with a writing activity which allows students to imaginatively develop the ideas from the extract.

This extract can easily be adapted for an able group of KS3 students beginning their GCSE work
