I marked 500 GCSE Paper 1s this year. It was a genuine joy. Here’s what I learned from the creative writing section @Team_English1:
1.Loved the planning structures (see below for the best). It still encouraged some students to attempt writing an entire novel though….
2.Pre-writing is key. None of the top students I saw were writing their piece for the first time. I had a few students (!) insert the Lit quotes into their work. Planning beautiful quotes about the weather/ landscape/characters is a good use of class time.
