List of quotes for every key theme, character and motif of Lord of the Flies (William Golding). Suitable for anyone studying LOTF, but created with GCSE English Literature in mind.
I’ve picked these after going through the whole text and narrowing them down, highlighting the key ones to learn that provide the widest range of potential analysis. Feel free to go through and narrow these down further, or add your own - learning just two or three quotes per character/theme/motif is sufficient for confident writers!
Subheadings:
Motifs:
Uniform
Sticks
Fire/Glasses
Shelters
Pigs
Butterflies
Characters:
Ralph
Jack
Simon
Piggy
Roger
The Beast/ the Lord of the Flies
The Island (a character of it’s own to be honest!)
Conch
Themes:

Struggle to build civilisation/ democracy and dictatorship

A complete mindmap titled “Jane’s Journey” showing the development of Jane and other characters as she moves location and progresses as a character. The mindmap includes key quotes from all key characters, as well as key phrases or ideas that could be included in essays.
Each location in the novel is used as a heading, with the characters acting as subheadings.
The GCSE AQA English Literature exam for Jane Eyre requires a holistic knowledge of the text, particularly the evolution of characters and themes throughout the text, so by using physical location as a vehicle to track the changing environment Jane experiences, as well as her own growth, students can demonstrate and appreciate the bildungsroman aspect core to the novel.
(If you’d like a physical copy of this map, email me with your form room and I’ll drop it off!)

Word doc handmade scene summaries and key quotations in “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, revision resource for GCSE English Literature Paper 1 with Quizlet.
This is suitable for all students but was designed in mind of AQA specifications.
For each Act and Scene, a short, memorable title is given, followed by a two-or-three sentence summary. Below this are selected bullet point quotes with some analysis. These quotes were selected as they are versatile and can be interpreted in many different ways, making it perfect to memorise and adapt in exams.
Each Scene is sorted in chronological order, and Acts are colour-coded to help coordination, but this Word Document can be edited in any way to aid accessibility.
This revision resource is ideal for students looking to recap “Macbeth” before an exam and refresh their memory, as well as for students reading the text for the first time, to support their understanding of what is a rather confusion and fast-paced plot. Although the text can only be truly understood if read and studying independently, this resource saves a lot of time other students waste on searching for quotes. This saved time can be spent on using these Scene Summaries as a quote bank for essay plans, for example, one revision technique I found particularly useful towards the end of Year 11.
A free Quizlet link and password is attached at the bottom of the document, which can be freely shared with students to help spaced repetition and memorisation in an easy way. Using Quizlet helped me learn quotes so much!

Script for GCSE oral presentation (Distinction and grade 9 achieved in 2022)
Title: Identity and self-worth in ‘Jane Eyre’
This can be used as a revision resource for GCSE English Literature, filled with context and ideas not typically discussed in lessons to help boost your grade to a 9.
This can also be used to see a structure of a successful oral presentation.
Subtitles:
Introduction
Jane stays true to herself by resisting male oppression through the patriarchy
Jane stays true to herself by resisting manipulating her identity for male figures
The power of name to Jane and the Bronte sisters
The power of name regarding Rochester and Antoinette from Wide Sargasso Sea (cut out of the final presentation to not overrun)
Slight disclaimer: this presentation was written and presented at the peak of my slightly obsessive attitude towards this novel and the Bronte sisters.
