Year 9 Exam - Multiple activities - build your own exam
This resource includes multiple activities to choose from so that you can build your own year 9 exam (because we all want different things, right?!). Not only that, because it's editable, you can tweak anything you like (eg: reading comprehension questions, essay questions...)
The resource includes:
❤️THREE texts (fiction, non-fiction, poem) and for EACH of these you can choose what pages you want to build your exam. Select pages re:
- Text only
- Text plus language features (identify and describe effect)
- Text plus structural features (eg: find main ideas) - answers provided
- Reading comprehension (reading on, between, beyond/behind the lines) - answers provided
- Unfamiliar texts type answer - scaffolded (just slightly)
- Unfamiliar texts type answer - UNscaffolded
- Writing samples based on the text to test writing accuracy and abilities to write different sentence types (structures and beginnings)
❤️ Expository essay (incl topic, room to plan, tips about structure)
❤️ Literary essay (including essay questions, room to plan, tips about structure)
❤️ Reflection - a reflection page to give to your students afterwards. The post-mortem!
Documents:
⭐ One document that's your ORIGINAL, complete with everything to choose from. (We'll use that activity and that one and that one.)
⭐ One document that looks the same as your original but it includes answers to SOME of the activities - namely answers to the Reading Comprehension section and to the Structural Techniques section for each text. (Please note, no other answers or mark schedules are provided.)
Formats:
🖥️ Microsoft PowerPoint, resized to an A4 page. This means your resource:
- Is completely editable.
- Will easily upload to your Google Drive if you prefer the Googley suite.
- Is printable 📃

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair I think! Let's help each other out. :)
Reviews
I was disappointed in this resource as it requires too much work to make it usable. I appreciate the original texts however they are too colloquial for my requirements. I prefer to use a range of different writing registers including from Aotearoa and other countries.
Thank you. This one save me loads of time. Useful, easy to follow and adapt.
