Command Word Lessons for the AAQ

Liz Blamire

30th May 2025

Building on last week’s set of command word handouts, your next set of free resources are Command Word Lessons.

Each of these lessons is suitable for scheduling at the very start of term. They are designed to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills required to respond to the command words used in the mandatory Units 1 to 3.

No prior H&SC knowledge is required, as each lesson uses a familiar knowledge base (biscuits, fruits and fairy tales), to enable your students to focus on exactly how to state, identify, explain, describe, discuss and so on.
