A handy booklet to support A-Level students with their wider reading. In the requirements for AO4 to make wider connections, students need to be reading widely around their core texts. This booklet makes those expectations clear to students from the beginning of the course and provides them with a convenient place for them to log what they have been reading and to reflect on the ways in which they can use their wider reading in comparison to their set texts. A great resource to hand out to students at the beginning of the course!

A 5 week scheme of work, fully resourced with both medium and short term plans, that works as an induction unit at the start of Year 12. This unit uses ‘Dracula’ as a base text which students are asked to read over the summer in advance of starting the A-Level. This induction unit then introduces students to 4 different critical perspectives (Feminism, Marxism, Post-Colonialism, Canon Theory) from AQA’s Critical Anthology and teaches students how to explore a text from this literary perspective. The unit culminates in an assessment where students write a magazine article (in the style of e-magazine) exploring a critical reading of the text in more depth. The unit has been written as an introduction to the AQA B English Literature specification but could easily be used as it is for any specification where the teaching of critical theory is relevant.
