Rebecca activity booklet for AQA English Literature A level NEW SPECIFICATION

Once students have read the novel Rebecca, there is a lot of reflection and interpretation work to be done.
This booklet includes research tasks surrounding characterisation, themes, relationships between characters and some background on the author.
The students have to fill this in as they are doing research and their individual interpretations of the text.
This booklet worked well for me with my sixth form as they could complete some of the tasks as homework and we could discuss the answers in class. I would base some of my lessons on the sections of this booklet e.g. the romantic hero. The students will have filled in that section for homework and with it they would have brought to class their individual responses to the question. This worked really well for snowballing activities and presentations as students could consolidate their understanding.
It is a 9 page booklet and strongly encourages students to consider theme, context, language, form, structure and characterisation- very handy when preparing for essays or practice papers.
Please note that extracts from the novel are not included due to copyright infringement laws. Students should have no problem completing the tasks if they have read the novel and made their study notes.
