Exam Strategy:
Offering three strategies to support student preparation for examination:
- Top Marks Terminology: encouraging students to demonstrate advanced AO2 vocabulary to express their analysis in a sophisticated way.
- Observing Writers’ Patterns: encouraging students to observe patterns in the writer’s methods and techniques, where these are employed and which characters they are employed for. Focusing students’ use of terminology on the methods that occur most frequently, allowing them to comment on the text more easily, conceptually and holistically.
- Master Essay Structure: helping students to prepare an outline of an essay that they can adapt in the exam, including a top grade introduction. The guides include a resource to support with this, along with a model and sentence stems to demonstrate.
Reviews:
"What a remarkable book. Most other study guides seem to aim lower in terms of challenge. This guide takes away so much of the hard work (and time spent) in getting to know and understand the text through its annotations, leaving some helpful room for additional personal interpretations. A must for every student and teacher. More of these guides please!" ~ Hannah Richardson, English Teacher, eight years’ experience as Head of English
"There are many teaching guides to GCSE English Literature exam texts, but none have annotated the entire text with such useful, informative and accessible comments – available just where you need them; right beside the relevant section of text. The annotations clearly illustrate how to meet the Literature Assessment Objectives regardless of the exam board being studied. Modelling of high-level vocabulary is invaluable and the sections at the rear of the guide will undoubtedly lead to better structured and better attaining essays. Whether you are a student who is new to the text or an experienced teacher, Stack & Quill’s Annotated Guide will offer insight, support and more than a few revelations. “As good a friend… in the good old world” as any teacher needs." ~ Claire Taeger, English Teacher and Lead Practitioner of English
"One of the most comprehensive and detailed texts I have come across in a long time. Stack & Quill's Guide is invaluable to my teaching, especially of an unfamiliar unit. A text I will use for a long time and will recommend to anyone new to the text or needing a fresh look." ~ Sarah Redway-Handel, English Teacher and Initial Teacher Training Coordinator
In Summary:
If you are
- A student aiming for a high GCSE band
- A new teacher developing your subject knowledge or taking your first top-set
- An experienced teacher who would like to develop your existing subject knowledge
