english language gcse paper 1 section b creative writing

Overview - Section B

Paper 1, section b: creative or descriptive writing.

In Section B of Paper 1, you will be given two questions - a written scenario and a picture stimulus - to choose from. You will select one thing to write about.

Links with Section A

• The writing section (Section B) will be linked to the reading materials in Section A – try to use some information from section A, but do not just copy it!

Tips for answering Section B

• Choose ONE task – do not do both!
• Write in paragraphs.
• A narrative piece follows a story line – it has action and tells the reader about some sort of experience that happened (either real or fake).
• A descriptive piece uses more sensory detail (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to describe a place, person or feeling. There is no story line.
• We will cover these two types of pieces in more detail later.

Timings for Section B

• Spend 10 minutes planning your ideas before you start writing your answer – this plan can take whatever form you like (spider diagram, bullet points, etc) because it will not be marked.
• Spend 30 minutes writing your answer.
• Spend 5 minutes checking – focus on spelling, punctuation, and whether or not your sentences make sense.

Marks for Section B

• Section B is worth 40 marks.
• Spelling, punctuation and grammar is worth 16 marks.

Section B: Descriptive Writing

A descriptive piece uses sensory detail (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to describe a place, person or feeling. There is no story line. Here are some tips for writing a descriptive piece:

Use figurative language

• Using figurative language helps to bring descriptions to life.
• E.g. My bedroom is a freezer!

Figurative language - example

• There were lots of people in the room. It was crowded. I was feeling claustrophobic. I started to panic.
• The people in the room were bunched together like battery chickens on a tiny farm . Panic rushed over me like a wave crashing into shore . Claustrophobia swallowed me.
• The similes and personification in these sentences make the writing much more exciting.

Use vocabulary to create the right tone

• The tone of your writing is very important. The tone is the writer's feelings towards what they are describing.
• Choose words carefully - using positive adjectives will help to create a light-hearted feel. Using negative/aggressive adjectives will help to create a foreboding atmosphere.
• Use varied sentences - using short, simple sentences will help to create suspense and quicken the pace. Using long, complex sentences will slow the pace and create a relaxed feel.

Tone - examples

• The aggressive adjectives help to create a negative tone. The writer wants us to think of the storm as a negative force.
• The positive adjectives create a positive tone. The writer wants us to think of the girl as an attractive and likeable character.

• The series of simple, short sentences help to create suspense and quicken the pace - reflecting Joe's panic.
• The long, complex sentence creates a relaxed feel - reflecting this lethargic start to the day.

Use a range of language devices

• Make your writing more interesting.
• Engage the reader in your story or help them to visualise your description.
• Help you to build up the image/experience you have in your own head.
• We will recap these language devices in the 'Checklist of Techniques' section.

Good techniques

• Adjectives.
• Metaphors and similes.
• Devices that create a visual picture in the reader's mind.

Section B: Narrative Writing

A narrative piece follows a story line – it has action and tells the reader about some sort of experience that happened (either real or fake). Here are some tips for writing a narrative piece:

Identify the part of the narrative

• If the question asks you to write an opening, focus on introducing the characters and settings instead of including lots of action. You are NOT being asked to write a complete story.

Show, don't tell

• Many students make the mistake of 'telling' the reader something rather than 'showing' it to the reader. Showing, rather than telling, makes narrative writing far more impactful.

Show, don't tell - example

• Lucy was desperately searching for more wine. Her withdrawal symptoms were driving her crazy.
• The description is grammatically correct, but dull.
• Her head was rattling; mirroring her quaking limbs. Her eyes darted to and fro as the sweat trickled down her forehead. Her tongue craved a trickle of liquid salvation.
• This description creates a vivid picture in the reader's mind.

AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 – Revision Guide

Welcome to the ultimate revision guide for the AQA GCSE English Language paper 1. In this guide we’ve collected all of the best advice from our experienced English tutors. We tell you what to expect from each question, how to get top marks and how to revise. We’ve also linked to some practice papers. Follow the advice in this guide and you will have everything you need to ace the exams. 

To begin with, let’s address and popular myth. We hear many students saying things like: “you don’t need to revise for English language because you’re given the extract on the day”; or even that “you can’t revise for English language”. Believe me – nothing could be further from the truth. You absolutely need to revise for GCSE English language and following a few simple steps can make all of the difference. Overall you need to: 

• understand what each of the papers will be like;
• know what the examiner wants from you on each question; and
• do lots of practice questions – marking your own work to improve further. 

Check out our revision guide for AQA English language paper 2 as well to make sure you’re confident with both papers.

For focused help and support with your GCSE English Language revision, why not try a lesson with one of our expert online tutors? They’ll deliver personalised lessons for you to help you achieve your potential in the exams. Contact us today to book your trial lesson.

Overview of the paper

Language paper 1 is all about exploring creative reading and writing. You’ll be looking at an example of a fiction text and doing some creative writing. You will need to answer five questions, separated into two sections. In section A you are asked four questions about a fiction extract from the 20th or 21st centuries. In section B you answer one question form a choice of two, where you demonstrate your own creative writing skills.  

You will have 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the paper. There are 80 marks at stake, which contributes towards 50% of your GCSE English Language grade.

AQA English Language Paper 1 Section A

Read the text carefully – spend 15 mins here.

It’s really important to take some time at the beginning to carefully read the extract in full. You should:

• spend 15 minutes reading the text in detail;
• read it carefully, do not skim read the text; and
• annotate the text to highlight any important parts.

Question 1 – list 4 things – spend 5 mins here

Question 1 should hopefully be quite straightforward for you. You will be asked to find four specific bits of information (such as a description of something) from a specific part of the text. It’s likely there will be more than four pieces of information available, so you’ll have plenty to choose from. You can either put your answers in your own words, or quote directly from the text.

The key things to remember are:

• read the question carefully;
• only refer to the specific section of the text in the question;
• don’t spend too long on the question. Get your four points down, get the four marks in the bag and then move on.

Question 2 – language analysis – spend 10 mins here

Question 2 is worth 8 marks and is all about language analysis. There is quite a lot to do in a short space of time. You will be asked to analyse how the writer has used language to achieve something. Consider how the following things help to create the specific effect set out in the question:

• any uses of interesting words and phrases;
• language techniques; and
• sentence forms

Make sure you use well selected quotations directly from the text and explain how these quotes show your points. Aim to make four clear points across two paragraphs. Each time, make your point, provide a good quotation and explain how the techniques or use of language creates the effect set out in the question. Ensure you only refer to language in your answer (you won’t get any marks for commenting on structure here). Use plenty of the technical vocabulary you have learnt at school.

Question 3 – structural analysis – spend 10 mins here

This is a tough one as students tend to spend more time at school looking at language features than structure. Again, there’s a lot to do in this question in a short space of time. You will be asked to identify and analyse how the writer uses structural features to achieve a specific effect. 

Your analysis of structure here should focus on shifts – or continuity – in focus across a whole text. Look, for example, at what the writer focuses on at the beginning, how that focus changes during the main body of the text and then how they end the piece. Look for shifts in focus, changes in perspective or elements of continuity. Use quotations directly from the text to demonstrate the structure point and then explain how the quote proves your point.

You need to identify the structural feature and analyse how it is effective. Again, look to make four clear points across two paragraphs. Make the point on structure, prove it with a quotation and then explain how your quote proves your point.

Do not analyse language in this question – you won’t get any marks for talking about language in question 3. 

Question 4 – evaluate texts critically – spend 20 mins here

This is the big one in section A – there are 20 marks available. Everything is in scope here. They expect you to analyse both language and structure. You need to evaluate how successfully language and structural points build a particular effect. 

You’ll be given a statement from a student about the extract and asked about the extent to which you agree with it. In your answer you need to evaluate how successful the writer has been in achieving the points raised in the question. This will include your own interpretation. 

The key points to remember are:

• identify language and structural features;
• use quotations from the text to demonstrate these features;
• analyse how the quotation proves your point;
• evaluate how successfully this achieves the effect from the question;
• focus on the specifics of the question; and
• provide your own clear opinion of how far you agree with the statement in the question. 

Top tip – remember to refer to the effects on the reader. What do they think about what they’re reading. Think about what your opinion is, explain it and back it up with evidence.  

You can find even more great revision guides, advice and practice questions on our free resources page.

AQA English Language GCSE Paper 1 Section B

Question 5 – creative writing task – spend 45 mins here.

Question 5 is an extended creative writing task. There are a lot of marks available here, so you should spend around 45 minutes answering the question. You will get a choice of two questions – either writing a descriptive piece based on a picture, or writing part of a story on a given topic. 

There are 40 marks at stake. 24 marks are available for the content (so how effectively and imaginatively you write using a range of language and structural techniques). 16 marks are available for good old SPAG (spelling punctuation and grammar), so make sure you use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures with accurate spelling and punctuation.

Put simply you need to write a quality, engaging, imaginative piece of fiction. You could use an experience as inspiration, or completely make everything up. Make sure your writing is appropriate to the specific purpose and audience set out in the question. Make sure you really show the examiner what you can do. Use plenty of different language techniques and a variety of vocabulary and sentence forms.

Top tip – spend 5 minutes planning your answer. Write a simple bullet point list planning each of your paragraphs. Make a note of any interesting language technique ideas that spring to mind. This will really help make he most of your writing time. 

How to revise for your AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 exam

Once you’ve read this revision guide you should have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the paper and what the examiner wants to see from you. Now you need to practice the skills we’ve discussed in this guide. The best way to do that is by doing as many past and specimen exam questions as possible. You can find all of the available past AQA exam papers here .

Top tips for aqa english language paper 1 section b.

The creative writing section of the English Language Paper 1 is often not very well prepared for. Often it is easy to come up with an imaginative idea, however less heed is payed to effectively crafting a response worthy of a high mark. However, there are a few ways to make sure you achieve a good mark on this section, which is worth 25% of your grade.

First of all, it is important that you understand how section B will be presented. In this section, you only answer one question from a choice of two. The choices are prompts , in order to get a good mark for responding to the target audience and answering in a relevant manner it needs to be clear to the examiner which prompt you are responding to from your piece of creative writing. The prompts are most commonly: a title, an image or a short description of what they want you to write about. It is specified in each option whether you are to write a description or a narrative.

If you choose to write a narrative , this is just a story basically, then you need to make sure you include a basic structure: a beginning, middle and end. You can also include features such as dialogue, characters and a clear perspective (1st person or 3rd person usually) to write from. For a descriptive piece however you need to focus on vivid details and you should not have a plot, characters (although you can describe people visually), a narrative voice/perspective and dialogue should be avoided for the most part.

A little known point about the Section B for Language paper 1 is that it is marked using the same criteria in the mark scheme regardless of whether you choose to write a narrative or a descriptive piece. This emphasises the importance of description and interest for the reader, regardless of which question to choose to answer. You won’t always be given a choice between the two either so make sure you can proficiently write a creative piece for either prompt style! Also, whichever prompt style you respond to you need to make sure to vary sentence and paragraph length, try and use ambitious vocabulary and good spelling and make sure what you write is clear for the reader.

The best way to make sure you include all the key things to get you marks in Section B is to use an effective planning structure and include all the elements to craft an amazing response. This is the planning method I used for my answers to this section:

Idea – write a brief general idea for what you are going to write about

Language – create a list of 5-10 language techniques which you will aim to include in your answer

Structure – choose 2 or 3 structural techniques which you would like to include

Punctuation – write out a selection of punctuation that you are going to use

Interesting element – think of something which will set your answer apart and make it more enthralling to read

Here’s an example of how the plan could be used for a narrative piece with the prompt of ‘write a story with the title The Outsider’:

Idea: write a story about a boy who is bullied in the playground and feels alone, he can talk to animals but he keeps this a secret

Language: simile, personification, semantic field of predation, alliteration, onomatopoeia

Structure: nova fiction (9 sentences in length), one word paragraph, cyclical structure

Punctuation: : ; ‘’ , . ? ! () –

Interesting idea: write from the perspective of a bug but only reveal this in the final sentence

Here’s another example which could be used for a descriptive piece with the prompt of an image of a man sat by his window:

Idea: man staring out at a desolate expanse after his neighbourhood has been destroyed by a freak accident

Language: anaphora, gory imagery, metaphor, juxtaposition, hyperbole

Structure: flashbacks and flashforwards, zooming in and out to focus on details (tears and face)

Interesting idea: use the man’s face as a parallel to the landscape. Reflection in broken glass and reflection in his eyes, rugged annihilated rubble, uneven skin

These plans should help you to craft engaging pieces of creative writing and achieve a good mark. Also make sure to check out my post on Paper 1 Section A:

AQA English Language GCSE - Paper 1, Section B SOW- Explorations in Creative Writing

Subject: English

Age range: 5-7

Resource type: Other

These lessons are aimed at year 10 students who are studying for AQA Paper 1. They can also be used/adapted to suit other year groups to develop creative writing skills. This is a full module of lessons that lead up to the students completing a mock AQA paper.

The lessons explore and develop the skills students learned in Section A and begin to apply these techniques in their own descriptive/narrative writing piece.

The lessons are based on the skills required as detailed in the AQA mark scheme. The lessons have a mixture of individual, paired and group work tasks.

Model answers are included in multiple lessons so that students can clearly see what they are expected to be able to write by the end of the module. Differentiated extracts are also used so you can adapt the activities to suit your group’s ability.

Most lessons are planned for a double session (2 hours) so can be split to create separate lessons if required.

Lesson 1: Introduction to the module and a focus on developing ambitious vocabulary. Lesson 2: Setting- Crafting figurative language devices to zoom in on detail. Lesson 3: Sentence Structure- Reviewing the different types of sentences and applying them artfully to create effects. Lesson 4: Structure- Exploring how to create a narrative journey in a text. Lesson 5: Creating Tone/Atmosphere- Exploration of how subtly changing vocabulary choices can create specific tone/atmosphere in descriptive writing. Lesson 6: Narrative Structure- Explore the structure of a narrative looking at ‘story mountain’ and how it can be applied to writing. Lesson 7: Opening- Identify techniques in a range of extracts and consider what makes an effective opening to a narrative and how to hook the reader. Lesson 8: Tense- Group work tasks where students look at model answers and then experiment with changing tenses in their own work.

Most lessons were planned as double lessons (2 hours) so can easily be split to form two 1 hour lessons.

Additional information for some tasks and challenge questions are written in the notes section of the PPTs.

Please note that some images and extracts have been removed due to copyright. Where possible I have tried to list what these items were either on the slide or in the notes section to enable you to try and locate if desired.
