11En1 - English Language Papers Webquest

Use the AQA website (link at the top of the page) to find the answers to these questions:

What is on Paper 1, Section A?
What is on Paper 1, Section B?
What is on Paper 2, Section A?
What is on Paper 2, Section B?

Bonus points for any extra information you can offer (e.g. how many questions you get to choose from, what sort of time do you have to spend on each section?)

And the tie-breaker... for which sections are you awarded marks for spelling, punctuation and grammar?

Don't forget your team name in your answer or I can't award you the points.
