<p>GCSE Unseen Poetry element.</p>
<p>This is a useful guide for students to follow when answering unseen passages; you can use this same structure for unseen A Level extracts also, but may have to modify the resource for each exam board/ its assessment objectives.</p>
<p>Context is a major component of OCR A Level English Literature, particularly in Paper 2: Comparative and Contextual study.</p>
<p>Having done my A Levels this year (2018), I found this resource very useful to make and revise from for my exams considering that Part A of the paper involved 12.5% AO3 Context and Part B involves a massive 50% AO3.</p>
<p>In order to really know your texts well, be it American literature, Dystopia or Women, you have to understand the context. This will also help you understand the writer’s purpose and make intellectual interpretations about unseen passages in the OCR paper.</p>
<p>Good luck to current A Level students. I hope you find this resource useful.<br />

<p>Suitable for GCSE students studying ‘Macbeth’ at GCSE Level.</p>
<p>This is just a response I wrote to showcase analytical skills and how to structure an essay.</p>
<p>Try asking students to read this exemplar and then write an essay to a different question in a similar fashion.</p>
<p>My essay loosely follows this following structure</p>
<ol>
<li>Make a point relating to a specific theme/technique</li>
<li>Develop the point with evidence and signposting linguistic features.</li>
<li>Interpret, analyse and link to different parts of a passage.</li>
<li>Write a mini conclusion about the point made. Comment on the effect of the technique (s) discussed</li>
</ol>
<p>Pack 1 of this series includes notes and key analytical points on Chapters 1 and 2 from ‘The Great Gatsby’.</p>
<p>This includes;</p>
<ul>
<li>Analysis on key quotations</li>
<li>In depth arguments on contextual and thematic significance</li>
<li>Characterisation and setting</li>
</ul>
<p>Extremely useful for A Level (or any other) higher level students studying ‘The Great Gatsby’ as part of American Literature.</p>
<p>I found making these resources for my A Levels last year extremely useful to go back over for revision purposes and to help structure my arguments with the most important points.</p>
<p><em><strong>Pack 2 will be uploaded soon containing Chapters 3 and 4. If you are enjoying/ finding these packs useful, please comment down below if you would like similar resources for Hamlet, The Age of Innocence, She Stoops to Conquer or The Merchant’s Prologue and Tale as these are ALL texts I studied for my A Levels last year.</strong></em></p>
<p>I am also considering creating a Youtube channel based on English literature and talking through A Level texts as short summaries as part of student revision. If anyone thinks they might find this useful, please comment below/suggest some texts too! :)</p>

<p>OCR A Level English Literature- AS Component Paper 2</p>
<p>Very useful for contextual knowledge when reading the play.</p>
<p>I recommend asking students to first research on their own before handing them this resource.</p>
<p>Suitable for OCR AS English literature students.</p>
<p>Context does not account for any marks in terms of the assessment objectives HOWEVER, you are expected to make links to the time period i.e. Blanche as the Southern Belle and ideas on Race in the South.</p>
<p>This will provide an initial understanding of the play’s setting. It is useful to go through before reading the play.</p>
<p>Bank of quotations for ‘A Streetcar Named Desire.’ Useful for OCR AS English Literature students studying Tenessee William’s play.</p>
<p>Critical thesis is included as the OCR Specification requires students to bring in arguments and other points of view within their essay. Quotations have been handpicked; I did my AS exam last year and found it easy to learn quotations chronologically; this document has selected quotations from the text, many of which derive from Stage directions, which are highly important in this text.</p>
<p>Hope this is useful for current AS students!</p>
Historical context resource containing many different character descriptions an significance of poignant symbols; it was useful when I made this when I did my GCSE last year, so I hope you find it resourceful too :)
