Here are two articles. One is criticising Peppa Pig and one is defending it. I know both of these texts are 21st century but I find these 2 articles are useful for teaching students the Paper 2 Question 4 skills of comparing authorial feelings and perspectives before moving on to looking at a more challenging 19th century comparison text.

I have collated what I consider to be the most important 80+ quotations onto one document. There are lots of ways students and teachers can use this resource. One is to pick a certain number to really focus on and build on developing inferences for them in the same way as the two examples I have provided. Students may also want to find different ways of grouping the quotations together such as by different themes to help prepare for any question that might come up in the exam. I have also included a version with key words missing so students can add the key word. This works well as a starter. Also contains a random generator powerpoint that works well as a bell activity.
