This workbook is designed to guide students through independently re-reading the novella and making notes. It breaks the text down across eleven revision sessions, each of which has three parts: Direction of which pages to read. A set of comprehension questions on this part of the novella. A choice of further revision tasks, encouraging students to further reflect on the section they have explored. Many of these tasks include challenge questions to encourage higher order thinking. There is also a relevant exam question provided for each of the eleven sessions. I created this because many of my students don’t really know where to start with independent revision, and I also want to see evidence that they’ve read back through the text. It could also be used in school revision sessions. The page numbers used relate to a copy of the novel that is available online (link within the resource) but could be adapted for students’ own physical copies of the text.
