Riassunto

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 offers ideas and material to support a class reading of this GCSE text, and to make the play accessible to all students. The first half of the guide establishes the characters and the main issues, and asks key questions about the text. Individual and group activities aim to motivate students to form their own opinions, while reading, writing and oral tasks generate written course work and discussion. Students are also provided with the opportunity to research the historical, social and cultural background to the play, and draw parallels with contemporary experiences and values.

Su questo libro

Recensione

...they are beautifully produced: sturdily made, finely printed and illustrated, with clear, inviting and highly practical layout. There is an editorial team behind them with a track record known to many teachers, inspiring confidence and producing consistency. There is care not just for the integrity of the text being studied, but for the methodology used. Pupils respond to the texts with reading, writing, speaking and listening: the indivisibility of English as a subject is never lost sight of. But what makes the books most rworth having is the understanding of the texts themselves: not only in their historical and social contexts, but also as aesthetic objects obeying laws and structures of their own. I recommend them strongly. (Times Educational Supplement)
