This complete PowerPoint lesson focuses on a compelling extract from Franz Kafka's The Trial, with three tasks designed to build students' confidence in approaching a text and their understanding of key devices and terms associated with structure in a text.

Students first apply their understanding of structural features through discussion as a class. They then annotate another section of the extract in pairs or small groups, before looking at a final section independently. After each task, students write a paragraph, before peer assessing their work.

Ideal for AQA English Langauge Paper 1, Question 3 exam practice, preparation and revision.
