This resource is intended for A Level Lit students, but could work with able GCSE students studying ‘Hamlet’. It works best if the pupils already know the whole plot (from, say, watching a production) and who are now embarking on the nitty-gritty of studying each scene. It is presented here as a Word document whose boxes expand as they are typed in. I find this helps the students’ revision because the questions are near the answers, and can easily be added to as their knowledge grows. I encourage the students to include as much quotation as they can and to do so in a different colour text, again to aid revision later.

There are two sheets here. One contains a passage which has been set out correctly, but all the punctuation is missing. The second is correctly punctuated, but the layout is wrong. Pupils rewrite the passages correctly.

Each of these is an A4 sheet covering one of the poems from the Lit exam. Included are: Blessing; Half Past Two; Hide and Seek; Poem at Thirty Nine; War Photographer. They are very useful for revision purposes. They can be enlarged and used as posters, too.

Because Edexcel have not been too great about creating SAMs for the new IGCSE Language spec I decided to have a go myself. This one is a Paper 1 which closely follows the format of the SAMs. The unseen text is one from the old spec, and the Anthology Text is Chinese Cinderella.

Edexcel have not done a great job of providing SAMs for the new IGCSE, and there are few past papers yet. I have created lots of them. They closely follow the format of the SAMs and past papers. Many of the unseen resources are from old spec IGCSE lang papers. This one uses Danger of a Single Story from the Anthology. It also has a full marks scheme.

Each of these 5 sheets deals with one or two main characters in Much Ado About Nothing. They cover Beatrice, Benedick, Hero, Claudio and the Dons. The table form makes them easy to revise from. Each sheet lists the key characteristics plus a little explanation and then brief, important quotations. There are also boxes containing information about context, language and stagecraft. They work well as essay plans for character questions. They can be laminated and used as placemats on pupils’ desks, or put on walls as a display.
