The booklet can be used as a basis for teacher-led lessons, as a revision pack, or as self-study materials for pupils who have missed the teaching of the Anthology due to absence or starting courses late.
The study of each anthology text is divided into the following sections:
- Background and context: Brief details about the writer and the topic of the extract
- Summary of the text: Summary of the main issues covered in the extract
- Get started: Pre-reading activity to lead pupils into the text
- Read the text: Instruction to read the whole text in the Anthology before starting the activities
- Key vocabulary: List of vocabulary to aid understanding of the text
- Analyse the language and structure of the text: Questions and activities to encourage analysis
- Consolidate your understanding: Activity to highlight key points about language or structure
- Answer a practice examination question: An exam-style question 4 with ten sentence starters
Detailed suggested answers are given for sections 1-7 plus a simplified mark scheme for pupils to self-assess their Section 8 practice essays if working independently.
A glossary of ‘Language Features: Technical Terms’ is included at the end of the booklet and words in the booklet marked * are explained in this list with examples from the Anthology extracts.
The non-fiction extracts are NOT included in this booklet. Pupils should have their own copies of the EdExcel IGCSE English Anthology which is issued by the examination board.

Absolutely fantastic! I am so glad I found this. Will save me so much time and really help my students!
Excellent resource. Alex
There is a lot of stuff that is not great on TES - but these are absolutely fantastic. Clear, consistent, well thought out... Perhaps not the resource to push for the top band but as away into each of the texts and providing a way for students to understand and begin analysis - absolutely superb. I'm new to this exam board, have been thrown in at the deep end and this £10 has saved me many hours of work. Thank you!
Worth every penny, thank you so much! It's well organised, detailed and has saved me hours of work. Thanks!
Excellent resource: well put together; comprehensive; with a variety of activities that could be used for initial study or, as I have, for revision. Worth the money.
