Ted Hughes and First Language Practice Paper 1 Qu 1

Ideal for preparing students for Ted Hughes’ poems ‘The Other’ and ‘Wind’ as well as practising Cambridge IGCSE 0500 Language Paper 1 Question 1 exam technique.

The resource gives an overview of Hughes’ relationships with Sylvia Plath and Assia Wevill, preparing them for the ambivalence of both ‘The Other’ and ‘Wind’ as well as helping them understand his collection of poetry more widely.

The resource also follows the structure of the 0500 first language paper 1 question 1 to efficiently integrate both language and literature skills. It includes a mark scheme for either teacher- or self-assessment and could be used formatively or summatively.
