2018 GCSE AQA English Literature Paper 1 Exam Discussion and Predictions

I'm a year 11 student who will be doing the GCSEs this year and I was wondering whether anyone has any predictions to what will come up in the literature papers.

So:
Romeo and Juliet: Something to do with fate
A christmas carol: Something to do with supernatural of social change
An inspector calls: Maybe about Eva or Gender
Poetry: London or one of the random ones like checking out me history or the emigree

That's a great help, thanks, because I couldnt find any other people making predictions for literature 2018. I'll make sure to revise those types of questions slightly more than the others. Again thank you it's much appreciated 👍👍

Why? Just because someone predicts it? I'm sorry but that would be wasting your time.

That's why I said the word " slightly" because I understand it's just a prediction and that it's not definite.

Don't do any extra on that. It is nothing more than a random guess. Yes, there is a chance they could show up but it is not worth putting more effort, even a small amount, on a guess.

I would really recommend steering clear of predicting what topics would come up. My English teacher told our class that the following week, we would have a test on one of the extracts in Animal Farm which we would have seen before and analysed in class (made notes on, etc.) I knew it would be a big moment in the novella and not anything insignificant. We spent a lot of time on the extract in which Snowball was expelled and chased out of the farm, and I revised that more than the other moments because I was quite sure it would come up (since we had done essays on other moments and not that one). However, 'the purge' (when Napoleon has some of the self-confessed criminals killed) was the extract, and whilst I mentioned some techniques that I spotted, if I had revised each of the main moments equally, I would have done better.

Yes, I know the exact stuff that will be on the exam (teacher gave us a massive booklet on it).
It will be:
Shakespeare- Macbeth
Dr Jekyll and Hyde (all paper 1)

Paper 2 lit:
An inspector calls
Power and conflict poetry
Unseen poetry

Yes I also know that aswell but i'm trying to say if you may have any predictions on what the questions could be.

Oh okay..

1st question: I don't really know, it changes every time

2nd question: Write about an extract from the novel/play as an extract then as a whole (30 marks +4 marks SPAG)

3rd question (AO3/A04):Write about character development, realationships, themes and issues, settings, structure and context about the play or novel.
(20%)

It's basically these types of questions that you'll receive. I don't know specifically (my prediction) of what it'll ask but this is basically the base/foundation of what it'll be.

Paper 2( inspector calls/ power and conflict poetry)

IC: first question is a choice of two essay questions (30 marks)(structure or effect analysis)
FOCUS: Character development, relationships, themes and issues, settings, structure, language and context.

P&C: One question comparing one named poem to YOUR CHOICE of poem (30 marks)

Unseen poetry:
One question on the unseen poem (e.g how does the writer use language to effect the reader)
One question comparing this poem with a second unseen poem (e.g. How are they both similar/different. What main effect does it produce?)----most common questions asked.
