This is sadly out of date, and it would have been useful to know whether this was for the old spec or the most recently updated 2022 one. Did not feel it was worth the £12. Some useful slides on individual texts, nevertheless.

Empty reply does not make any sense for the end user

English Teaching Resources

A site to share my resources for secondary English teaching.

Edexcel IGCSE English Literature Coursework

The rationale for this post has been explored here  .  My intention is to provide an outline and resources to help students in Year 10/11 approach “the Beast” – the 6 poem coursework extravaganza that gives 40% of their IGCSE marks…

The task requires careful planning and is the nearest i get to a scaffold at this level.  I try to encourage clear planning of each paragraph, let alone the essay as a whole and I am working on a model of roughly 3 paragraphs for each “major” essay with the “minor”poems being used as links between the majors – roughly a single paragraph for each.

Here is the teaching outline:  coursework 2015

essay-planning

I also referred in the original post to John Thomsett’s excellent post on Janus Sentences:  janus sentences

This booklet was prepared by a colleague: Jade Boyle.  It is a cracking piece of work.

Y10 Lit coursework booklet

I attach a set of EDEXCEL sample essays for information and recommend that all students look at these.  It is brilliant to write in a manner which is a consistent comparison, but Edexcel are clear that direct comparison is not needed and I recommend the 3-1-3-1-1-3 outline as a good starting point.
