The Cutting Season: Part Three - Final Tours Chapter Analysis Sheets

This novel by Attica Locke is new on the Edexcel A Level Lit course in the Prose Unit. There’s very little out there yet to support students’ learning as they read, so I have developed an analysis sheet to accompany each chapter.

These sheets are for the third part of the novel.

Depending on the importance of each chapter, each sheet has all or some of the following:

1. A space for the students to write a brief synopsis of the events of the chapter;
2. 1 - 8 short answer questions to develop their understanding of the plot and characters;
3. A space to record anything interesting or important they found about the language, form and structure;
4. A space to record any relevant contextual information which aids understanding of the chapter.

Some of the sheets also contain a Deep Dive question, which requires them to write a 500 word response to a character or theme based question.

Each sheet has fields for the students can type directly into.
