Here you’ll find reading tasks, focusing on non-fiction writing and nineteenth century context.
Whilst both of the diary entries here are by Anne Lister in 1823, this resource provides a useful AQA English Language Paper 02A revision resource and an excellent opportunity into some SMSC work.
Students often presume that they are developed, civilised and cultured, whilst those of the past lived rather more narrow, small-minded lives. Anne Lister proves this wrong.
Use this as an opportunity for discussion about how wrong it is to generalise when discussing context!
Please do note that these tasks mention Anne Lister and her life as a lesbian, including a mention of “making love”. It is no more gratuitous than that but it should be pre-read by the teacher and students may need to be spoken to about the content.
Alternatively, let them read it and discuss it themselves, if they’re mature enough, and see which of them see the date!
