A resource used for student to work through during the summer holidays in order to prepare themselves for the course in September. This booklet has a range of 19 tasks for English Literature and English Language at A Level. In addition, there are useful web links provided for students, and a guide to different ways of doing some preparation. I have also included a recommended reading list for both Literature and Language - this can be easily amended.

I have put together a revision guide for my set 4 class on A Christmas Carol, taking into consideration what has already been examined by Eduqas. It took me a really long time to create it, but the students have really found it useful so I thought I would share it. In the revision guide, I have included: A ‘how to write an analysis’ page with prompts for each part of a high level answer Some ‘one page revision sheets’ for key characters and themes (Scrooge, Fred, Bob and the Cratchits, The Poor, Family, Responsibility, The Ghosts). This one page revision sheet includes key ideas/vocab, key quotes, a timeline, key message and key context. Pages with key questions for Redemption, Christmas and Isolation (the quotes and information on other revision sheets are to be used to fill in blank templates for these themes) A summary page for each stave + a multiple choice quiz to consolidate learning I have made sure to use dual coding to further support understanding of theme.

I have created a mock paper (2hr30) for the comparative and contextual study for OCR English Literature using dystopian texts. This paper has the critical appreciation question on Minority Report (Philip K Dick) and the comparative question that offers four choices for students to pick from. The mark schemes to help assign a grade for essay responses is available on the OCR website, but their past papers are often redacted so are not easily used.
