Written for the AQA exam board but suitable for any course that includes this book, this is a guide on analysing the biographical, social and historical context in The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald.

Eleven pages long, fully annotated with a further reading section and a revision quiz, this can be used for revision, lessons and to get to know the work by pupils teachers and tutors. One of a set of six (all available on this site) of guides that comprehensively cover all aspects of this novel from context and themes to symbolism and motifs.

Full and in depth guide to the poem Manhunt by Simon Armitage, including biographical detail, themes and language points necessary to gain a good mark in any essay on this poem. Useful for revision, lesson plans and handouts for pupils and teachers.

A full and indepth seven page up to A* guide on this poem for GCSE students and teachers. It can be used as revision, as a lesson tool, or just to make sense of this obscure and complex poem. Fully annotated, with quotes, 'check yourself' questions and further reading, this is an essential guide to one of the most challenging poems of the GCSE anthology- suitable for all exam boards. This is part 1: the more focused part 2- Context, Themes, Motifs, Symbolism and Language , is also available on here.

This is a guide for module 1 of Unit 1C (AQA) but suitable for all exam boards that offer this course: ‘The Tudors: England 1483-1603': Consolidation of the Tudor Dynasty: England 1485-1547. This should be read in conjunction with the other Unit 1C modules for A/S and A2 (available in the shop). Part 1 (available in the shop) focuses on an overview comparing the monarchial system Henry VII ‘inherited’ with the one he wished to create. (This guide could also be used as background for Unit 2B.) Part 2 of this first module is also available, which defines the Renaissance and sets forth arguments- as used to be merely accepted- as to whether Henry VII fits that definition. But this is part 3- the nature of his initial moves to establish the ‘Tudor dynasty’ and maintain his early tenuous grip on the throne of England. Without this context it is difficult to ascertain exactly what Henry VII did to consolidate the monarchy, and even if he succeeded, which is the whole point of this module. At A/S and A level you need to link events and policies if you want an A grade. Fully THIRTEEN pages long and annotated, with further reading options and revision style questions to check your knowledge, these compact yet detailed guides are essential reading that also cut down pupil study time. Made for the AQA exam board but suitable for all exam boards that do this topic, it is useful for teachers, tutors, parents and pupils for a frame of reference for a topic that used to be seen by traditional historians as an 'easy', black and white period of history- how we know it was no such thing.

Part 3 discusses the nature of his initial moves to establish the ‘Tudor dynasty’ and maintain his early tenuous grip on the throne of England.
