Now updated - two new files, tweaked ever so slightly to reflect the wording of the two new clusters - Love and Relationships and Power and Conflict. For use with the Character and Voice section; I have found it useful to blow this up to A3 and have students fill in using different colours for points, quotations, and analysis. Useful for mixed ability groups - for high ability I set an extra task for students to develop comparisons and contrasts further.

For use with CIE 0486 IGCSE English Literature, five extracts from Austen's novel. They are a little longer than the extracts usually provided in the examination but good for practice and close analysis. Particularly good blown up to A3 and annotated in beautiful colours!

Some brief notes to prompt students in their reading of Scene One.

Some background information on the settings (time and place) of Williams’ play.

Designed for use with CIE IGCSE English Literature 0486 (2019) and 0992 (2020), this resource encourages students to look carefully at a range of details used to create the character of Bounderby. Starts with a great clip from Monty Python - the ‘Yorkshiremen’ sketch! This resource was designed for an able group and therefore includes additional terminology more often found in language study, but could easily be adapted to support less able students. The extracts from the novel are included - these were printed in the middle of an A4 sheet and students annotate. Lastly… please excuse my messy board handwriting - I have left it in place to give you an idea how the tasks could be completed.
