AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2 revision knowledge organiser: Questions 1–5 explained with marks, AOs, worked examples and writing frames. Two A3 pages.

Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives on a single spread. For each question, students see what it asks, which assessment objective it tests, how many marks it carries and how to build the answer. Because everything is on two pages, students can see how the reading questions build towards the writing task. They also learn to give each question the time its marks deserve. Most lost marks on Paper 2 come from misreading what a question wants, not from a lack of knowledge.

Reading: Questions 1–4

• Question 1 (4 marks, AO1): how to pick the four true statements, with a worked example
• Question 2 (8 marks, AO1): summarising and synthesising evidence from two sources
• Question 3 (12 marks, AO2): language analysis, subject terminology and the PESWAIL writing frame
• Question 4 (16 marks, AO3): comparing writers’ ideas and perspectives, with a word bank for feelings and experiences

Writing: Question 5 (40 marks: 24 AO5, 16 AO6)

• A five-part plan for viewpoint writing: Describe, Opinion, Relevance, Action, Stand-alone paragraph
• Persuasive techniques with examples, vocabulary upgrades and discourse markers
• AO5 and AO6 explained in plain language

Use it for: Year 10 and 11 revision, GCSE resits and post-16, intervention groups, classroom display, homework and independent study.
