GCSE Pride and Prejudice Revision Workbook is a five-mission activity book for the Jane Austen prose set text, board-neutral across AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC/Eduqas and 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). Students follow the plot — the Bennet family at Longbourn, the clash of first impressions between witty Elizabeth Bennet and proud Mr Darcy of Pemberley, Jane and Mr Bingley, the lies of Mr Wickham, Lydia’s elopement, Mr Collins’s rejected proposal, and the marriages that finally overcome pride and prejudice — and get to know Elizabeth, Darcy, Jane, Bingley, Wickham, Lydia, Mr Collins, Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mr and Mrs Bennet. Short, certain public-domain quotations are printed as focal blocks (the ironic opening line “It is a truth universally acknowledged…”, Darcy’s “not handsome enough to tempt me”, and Lady Catherine’s scorn at Lydia’s “infamous elopement”) so pupils can practise close reading of Austen’s irony and connect it to the themes of marriage and money, social class and reputation, and women’s limited choices, all in the Regency context. Plot, character, theme and context questions are auto-marked on screen, while open quotation-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.
GCSE English Language: Gothic Fiction Reading & Writing is a five-mission activity book that puts real, public-domain Gothic openings on the page for close reading and uses them as models for creative writing, mapped to the DfE subject content and the reading and writing Assessment Objectives shared by AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC/Eduqas. Students read the openings of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847) and Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations (1861) to identify first-person narrative viewpoint and make inferences; meet Mary Shelley’s creature in Frankenstein (1818) and explore gothic conventions such as the monstrous, darkness, tension and the uncanny; and examine duality in Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886). Reading questions on viewpoint, inference and language devices — metaphor, simile and pathetic fallacy — are auto-marked on screen, while open tasks guide students to plan, write and annotate a first-person gothic descriptive opening of their own. 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.
