GCSE DNA Revision Workbook

GCSE DNA Revision Workbook is a five-mission activity book for Dennis Kelly’s modern drama set text, board-neutral and suitable for the WJEC/Eduqas drama option, mapped to the DfE subject content and the Assessment Objectives (AO1 informed personal response with references, AO2 analysis of language, form and structure, AO3 context). Because the play is in copyright, it is taught analytically and no lines are reproduced: pupils describe the drama in their own words. Students follow the plot — a group of teenagers bully a boy called Adam, a prank goes wrong and they believe he is dead, the cold and logical Phil devises a cover-up, and the group frames an innocent postman by planting DNA evidence — and get to know Phil (the silent strategist, often eating sweets), Leah (talkative and anxious), Cathy (increasingly ruthless) and Adam, who is later found alive but then killed for real. Focal blocks are key facts and paraphrase in plain English so pupils can practise close analysis of peer pressure and group mentality, morality and guilt, power and leadership, and the individual versus the group. Plot, character, theme and context questions are auto-marked on screen, while open character-analysis and essay-planning tasks build the extended writing examiners reward. The whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and student notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
