A useful revision resource for students who want to know which poems you can compare for which themes. Obviously, the list of themes is not exhaustive, but should cover the majority of exam questions. Also, students may find other poems for each theme, and can add their own. Quotations are aimed at a range of abilities, with some stretching your most high-achieving, and some with explanations written in note form already to aid those struggling to analyse (there is one quotation for each poem analysed).

A revision resource designed to cover each of the 4 ghosts in the novella in detail, including key quotations to annotate, contextual information and summaries. Can be done in a couple of lessons, though you could easily stretch it to 3. Comes with an example question asking about the Ghosts, with an extract from the opening to Stave 4.
