About this title

Synopsis

This is part of a course of language and literature study at Key Stage 4. The course covers language work and literary and non-literary texts including contemporary and pre-20th century poetry, literature, drama and media. In addition to a course book, there are seven self-contained literature study books, each leading the student through the close study of a major or set text, or prescribed period of poetry within its historical, social and cultural context. This volume is the "Course Book" and comprises eight units, each concentrating on a core element designed to develop students' knowledge and understanding and skills in a key area of the curriculum. There is also a mini-unit at the end of the book which addresses revision and exam techniques. Each unit of the course book builds on skills developed and practised in the previous units, with an emphasis on progression. However, units can be used independently and linked to an established scheme of work. Units can also be studied in conjunction with the related "Hodder English 4 Literature Study" books to give a complete integrated coverage of GCSE English and English Literature syllabuses, for example the course book unit on the Salem Witches can be directly linked to the literature study book work on "The Crucible". Activities included can help to generate written course work for GCSE/Standard Grade English and speaking and listening activities offer opportunities for oral assessment.
