AQA Unseen Prose Extract at A-level

This unit of work has been designed to prepare A-level students for their AQA Paper 2 Unseen Prose exam. The students have to incorporate context into their answers, so the unit contains 13 lessons ranging from Victorian Literature to more modern, multi-cultural texts like White Teeth. Each lesson will take you about an hour to prepare their answer and a further hour to write an essay if you wish to do so. It comes fully resourced with PowerPoint lessons, exemplar essays, guidance on how to write introductions and conclusions, extracts, and examiner advice. The lessons include extracts from:

• The Heart of Darkness
• I am Charlotte Simmonds
• Brick Lane
• Digging to America
• White Teeth
• Gone with the Wind
• Catcher in the Rye
• Revolutionary Road
• Everything I Never Told You
• Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit

I have used this unit with very high achieving A-level students who have gone on to study English Literature at Oxford and Cambridge, so it is definitely targeted towards the top end.
