Revision sheet on the character of Roger in Lord of the Flies. Roger is the only main character who has not yet come up on an exam question for AQA. Could 2024 be Roger’s year? If so, this revision sheet will help prepare for this possibility. It contains detailed analysis of 8 key Roger quotations. The analysis is aimed at students aiming for grades 8-9. Ideas outside of the text such as references to Freud’s id and defence mechanisms along with Himmler are used to help meet the criteria for A03.

15 Conceptual Statements - one for each poem. Students must work out which poem each conceptual statement is referring to. Also contains summaries of each poem using the ‘because, but, so’ method from the writing revolution. The ‘because, but, so’ method is an excellent tool for teaching students to think analytically about each poem in the Power and Conflict anthology. This tool is powerful because it encourages students to expand their thinking with precision and detail. After studying each poem, I ask students to write a ‘because, but, so’ paragraph on it. This document collates ‘because, but, so’ paragraphs on all 15 poems as examples to assist students with revising the key ideas in each poem.
