Two resources working with Tier 2 vocabulary that is applicable to the main literature texts used for AQA English Literature.

First Resource - Connected Vocabulary:
25 key Tier 2 words with linked questions to the GCSE Literature Texts (An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol, Macbeth and Power and Conflict Poetry).
Includes words such as: nihilism, disillusionment, exploitation, altruism…
Then asks students how that word is linked to the texts.

Second Resource - Vocabulary ÌÇÐÄVlogt:
Using those 25 key tier 2 words, I then created a test to ensure students understood the definitions and could effectively apply the vocabulary to the texts and key quotations.

Has worked really well with my Year 11 students - improving the vocabulary of my lower ability students whilst encouraging more conceptual thinking for my higher ability students.
