Author Description

This Literature Student Book develops the key skills that students will be assessed on in Component 1 and Component 2 of the WJEC GCSE English Literature qualification. The book offers comprehensive skills-focused support for all elements of the qualification, with particular emphasis on the poetry anthology and unseen poetry requirements. Through the focus on the Assessment Objectives and skills, students will be able to apply the skills they are developing to their specific set texts. Through a range of example texts, activities, stretch and support features as well as tips and key terms, this book helps students of all abilities develop their literature response skills. With marked sample student responses at different levels, students can improve their own responses and gain an enhanced understanding of the skills required to succeed in the exams. In addition to the regular peer and self-assessment activities, teachers can monitor progress through the sample exam paper questions.
