This resource is a fantastic source of guidance for students and teachers in preparation for the iGCSE World Literature Examination or any essay based task related to the text “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. Included are 11 example essays which respond to different questions such as: How far does Ibsen’s portrayal of Nora make you admire her? What striking impressions of Nora does Ibsen’s writing create for you? In what does Ibsen make the final scene such a satisfying ending to the play? Responses include analysis of the language of the text and are presented as a printable booklet to distribute to students. The booklet includes some tips on how to make the most of the essays as well as some guidance on remaining academically honest when referring to these essays.

This resource includes 5 revision tasks focused on the text “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. Suggested Use: Students self identify their area of need (analysing quotes, finding evidence, structuring their essay etc) and choose the task which focuses on that individual discrete skill. Students can then work through the other activities from most needed to least needed. Teachers could also identify the area of most need for the student. I usually arrange them on a table and refer to it as “The Revision Buffet”. Students can help themselves to the tasks at their leisure creating inherent differentiation and personalised learning. All resources are ready to print and fully adaptable to other texts. This is a great lesson for catering to a wide range of differentiated abilities.

This resource contains two worksheets: Spot the difference narrow reading worksheet. Bad translation worksheet. The activities reinforce the structures needed for the topic of holidays in the preterit tense in Spanish. It is suggested that students complete the spot the difference worksheet before attempting the bad translation sheet. *A narrow reading activity based on Gianfranco Conti’s principles, narrow reading activities are most effective when: They are near-identical in terms of patterns. They contain comprehensible input. They are relatively short. (Conti, 2017).* Find out more here: https://gianfrancoconti.com/2017/07/22/eight-narrow-reading-techniques-that-will-enhance-your-students-vocabulary-and-reading-skills/
