As an experienced teacher, I understand the challenges we face when preparing our students for exams, which is why I have created the “Cambridge iGCSE: Ted Hughes Question Bank” for us. This comprehensive collection of precise exam questions is designed to complement the Ted Hughes poems you’ve shared with your students, helping them work towards higher exam grades. In this resource, you will find multiple questions, thoughtfully crafted in the Cambridge style, for each poem in the anthology. Not only does this guide save you valuable time spent creating exam questions, but it also supports effective exam preparation and fosters a deeper understanding of Ted Hughes’ poetic works. I am confident that this teacher resource will make your life easier, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of teaching while ensuring your students are well-prepared for their exams.

As the author of this Easy Lit resource, I have used it in my own classroom to achieve elite results for my students in iGCSE Othello. The resource provides forty whole text exam questions, with ten questions for each of the four key sections: Character, Relationship, Theme, and Quote and Response. For two of the questions for each section, suggested quotations and analysis notes are included to help students understand how to apply key quotes to their exam answers. By using this resource, you can guide your students towards a deep understanding of the play’s complexities and themes. The questions are based on previous patterns of iGCSE exam questions for Cambridge iGCSE 0475, making it easier for your students to anticipate and prepare for the types of questions they will face on their exams. The suggested quotations and analysis notes can help students understand how to apply key quotes to their exam answers, ultimately leading to better grades. Whether you’re a teacher looking for a comprehensive tool for your classroom or a student seeking extra support in your studies, this resource is an invaluable tool for achieving top grades in iGCSE Othello. With my own experience using this resource in the classroom, I can assure you that it is an effective tool for helping your students achieve elite results in their exams and beyond.

This resource goes beyond standard study guides by providing context for An Inspector Calls that is often overlooked. By exploring the social attitudes towards welfare and the separate sphere ideology prevalent in Edwardian England, students can gain a deeper understanding of the play’s larger themes and how they relate to the time period in which the play is set. This context is essential for analyzing the conflicts between the Birling family’s capitalist beliefs and the Inspector’s socialist ideas. Furthermore, this resource contains material not found in other study guides, giving your students an Easy Lit A* edge. By tracking key characters and conflicts throughout the play and providing exercises for evaluating and memorizing key quotations, this resource simplifies the process of analyzing An Inspector Calls. Students will come away with a clear understanding of how to apply play theory to their analysis of the play, and how to situate the play within its historical context. With this resource, achieving top grades in An Inspector Calls has never been easier.

When you want students to truly respond to marking, you need to give them. Often after such a homework, they will have a relatively independent task of consolidation while I interview each of them on their work over past term. This sheet is an ideal way for them to focus on an aspect/area of a larger language/learning framework until the next interview lesson. This works particularly well with other resources to support this (the literacy mats and the flow-chart of literary analysis). Enjoy! Easily editable and purposefully smaller than A4 to fit into an exercise book.

Poetry lesson based on the growing pains of a teenager from the point of view of an adult observer. Uses Kuhn’s scientific paradigm of thesis-antithesis-synthesis to model alternative interpretations for students. Compelling visuals included as well. Included is a complete PowerPoint, link to a reading, and a complete worksheet with a scaffolded paragraph. Excellent as a one-off lesson or to extend the study of poetry for KS3 and KS4 students.
