This landmark text is extremely relevant in today’s post-modern society. This A level power point lesson explores the meaning within chapters 1 and 2. With the AOs firmly in mind it opens the purpose of Austen’s work through structured tasks and academic writing. Extremely colourful and extremely engaging for the students.
