Analysing Unseen Prose (19th Century) GCSE

These resources have been developed to assist pupils in their study of 19th Century Unseen Prose for CCEA’s GCSE English Literature Specification.

The first document is a helpful summary that details the different aspects of the text that should be considered by students. There is also a blank version of this if pupils wish to make hand-written notes in the relevant sections.

The remaining documents include a series of questions to help students unpack and analyse the different aspects of an Unseen Prose text. They have been developed to be helpful and comprehensive, but not overbearing. There are a few versions of this:

• A sheet with the questions.
• An A4 sheet with the questions and an accompanying table in which to type/write notes.
• An A3 sheet with the questions and an accompanying table in which to type/write notes. This is to give a bit more space for students to provide more detail.

They can be also be used for work on short stories.

Each document is in Word form for editing and PDF form for easier printing.

Any comments/feedback would be appreciated.
