Silas Marner- extract questions for the CIE IGCSE Literature exam taken from different points in the novel to help with revision and exam practice.

Using the GCSE 9-1 sample questions provided by Edexcel for the nineteenth century literature component of the exam, these 12 extract questions have been created in a similar style, covering characters and themes from the novel to help with students’ revision and exam practice.

14 extracts from the play, each around 20-25 lines in length, followed by 2 questions, as in the sample and past papers, to provide exam practice and focussed revision for students studying for Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Literature. The sheets cane edited if required.

Further to the extracts I made on part 1 of the novel, these 10 are based on part 2, chapters 20-39. They are closely modelled on the specimen assessment materials for GCSE 9-1 to provide relevant exam practice and revision.

Key extracts from the story have varied styles of question: vocabulary, language, information recall, author’s craft etc. This should provide useful practice for GCSE 9-1 for KS3 students.It’s a popular ghost story, but written in a typical Dickens style to introduce the language and Victorian context to pre-GCSE students.

For CIE IGCSE Literature, 18 practice papers on Dickens’s ‘Great Expectations’ Part 2. Each paper has an extract, extract question and general question on character or theme, as in the exam.

These 5 extracts are taken from different parts of this ghostly short story. They include different types of questions on vocabulary, language and straight-forward information retrieval, making them useful exercises for KS3 students preparing FOR GCSE 9-1, or to test knowledge and understanding of the text. They are similar to my free resource on the start of Hard Times.

One of the first horror stories, this famous and often copied tale is a good introduction to both the genre and the style of nineteenth century literature. Each of the 8 extracts is taken from a key moment and includes a range of questions, (vocabulary, language analysis, and information retrieval.) As such, I think they are similar to GCSE 9-1 papers and so might be useful for pre-GCSE students, or for tuition.

Taken from different parts of the story, these 5 extracts contain a mixture of information retrieval, language & vocabulary style questions. Designed to focus on key sections of the tale, these extracts should help introduce KS3 students to Conan Doyle’s writing, to the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, to the setting and to the content of this part of the 9-1 GCSE course.
