DNA GCSE Revision and Study Guide.

This is a 38 page, fully loaded revision, study and comprehension resource for Dennis Kelly’s ‘DNA’.

This has been written with the latest AQA (9-1) English Literature specification in mind, but I’m sure this would work equally well with other exam boards. This would also be ideal for drama specifications too. I’ve tried to make this revision guide as active as possible, so there are lots of activities and tasks for students to do as they work through the booklet. There’s a good balance of information and engaging tasks for students to work through.

Contents of this guide run as follows:

* Visual summary of plot
* Storyboard resource for students to then recall the plot and key events from memory
*Form and structure comprehension questions
*Settings questions
* Context (students explore key issues raised in the play such as youth stereotypes, gang culture, growing violence in the age of the internet etc)
* Symbols and Motifs - lots of information about symbols and motifs in the play, followed by a revision activity
* Key Quotes - Students explore key quotes through analysis of their meaning and significance, quotes are broken down chapter by chapter and provide thematic links etc.
* Themes - Students make connections between themes, characters and events in the novel
* Characterisation - Students have to complete a character profile for all the main characters using the study tasks provided
* Key Terminology - Exploring some key terminology and vocabulary that will deepen their understanding of the play as well as impress examiners.
* Exam question - a series of exam questions worded and structured in the same way you will expect to find them on the new 9-1 literature paper
*Exam Techniques - Hints and tips on how to maximise performance in the exam.

Ideal for all teachers as this is a new set text to be added to the specification. Definitely a grade saving resource that enables students to fully prepare for the exam and to explore the text from lots of different angles.

Ready to roll, everything a student needs to revise for the exam and boost their confidence in the run up to the exam. Little/no adaptation required. Suitable for a range of abilities. Enjoy!
