Hi everyone,
Here are 2 links to revision guides for Language Change. The first one is more comprehensive and addresses how to approach each assessment objective, and provides a glossary of terminology, Language Change concepts and contextual factors.
The second is purely for AO2, and the kind of topics you could include in your essay.

Affordances and Constraints
Comparing texts:
Text A is the YouGov website - be sure to mouse over the map and explore all the affordances. There is a variety of representations to look at.
Text B is a BBC news report of the Bristol City Council election. Look at how the conventions are used e.g. the ways small paragraphs are achieved. Don't forget to look at the whole text, not just the writing in the main section.
20 mins to read and plan, 25 mins to write about text A, 25 mins on B and 20 mins for the comparison essay. Post them (finished!) to your blog by the end of the lesson so cut down the essays on A and B to 20 mins each just for this lesson.
Q1 Analyse how text A uses language to create meanings and representations.
Q2 Analyse how text B uses language to create meanings and representations.
Q3 Compare and contrast Text A and Text B , showing ways in which they are similar and different in their language use.
