5 extract and essay questions for ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ Literature exam practice.

A 34 slide PowerPoint covering all of the context and knowledge that you need to teach Wide Sargasso Sea to A Level students (including information on the text’s nature as a prequel.) This comes with a range of critical theorists to use alongside your reading and teaching and past exam papers which can be adapted to suit any exam board. Ideal for first teaching the novel and getting to know its intricacies needed for an A Level exam.

A full SoW based upon the novel ‘Kick’ by Mitch Johnson. The lessons include a mixture of reading comprehension, grammar, listening skills, speaking skills and come with assessments integrated into the lessons. I hope that these lessons are helpful to other teachers as the novel is relatively new. Enjoy! Suitable for KS3. Read the book alongside teaching the SoW.

A ppt. on Ted Hughes’ ‘The Thought Fox’ for teaching at GCSE level. The ppt. goes through meaning, context, language and structure and includes annotations of the poem. There is also an example answer for students to add to and adapt with the ability to assess themselves against the GCSE mark scheme.

This resource has been invaluable to my students. It lists in order what happens in the book and when it happens. This avoids confusion with the narrative technique of flashing backwards and forwards in the book.

I hope that the materials and papers are of use to someone starting out with Cambridge First Language!
