I have successfully used this resource to lead my teaching in the classroom, as a homework and distance learning material and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This beautifully illustrated forty-two (yes, 42) slide PowerPoint lesson contains a step by step guide on writing an A level essay response. Beloved portrays the life of a household before and after slavery. How does the author present the influence of the enslaved institution and its continued influence on subsequent generations? It is particularly suitable for unconfident students, or students that work at a slower pace than their peers. I have received exceptional feedback from the students regarding this specific resource and the English department as a whole. There is no work for you to complete whatsoever. This is a complete resource. Enjoy.
