A resource to support independent revision and study skills. Questions and tasks are differentiated around four main areas: themes, context, essay structure, analysis. This resource focuses on the assessment objectives and skills needed for the edexcel English Language and Literature A level course, but can be adapted. Links for extra reading and suggested tasks allow higher ability students to improve their skills through independent differentiation as well as suggesting questions (based on Blooms Taxonomy) to support middle ability students. As a PowerPoint file, this resource is also able to be edited to suit your students.

Give your A level students some food for thought with this differentiated additional reading menu (styled after the popular Nando’s menu). This resource can be given to students studying English Language and Literature or pure English Literature to encourage independent reading. The texts selected allow students to grapple with more challenging ideas alongside good, gripping, reads. Texts have been selected from a wide range of sources (exam board recommendations, range of teachers and school staff). This copy also includes an editible version of the menu, so you can add any important texts from your schemes of work, or personal favourites.

Three different takeaway menus for edexcel GCSE literature. Homework tasks are differentiated for GCSE levels 5-9 (higher ability) and are clearly linked to assessment objectives for both literature and language so students can see which skills they are using in their tasks. Hyperlinks take students to Pearson edexcel literaure website to allow easier access to past papers. Three texts: ‘Macbeth’, ‘An Inspector Calls’, and ‘The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde’.
