Tess of the d'Urbervilles: Teaching Guide for A Level

Teaching notes, teaching ideas AND activities!

"A series of ideas for lessons, with the aim of helping students to read,
understand and reflect on the novel. At the end of the process, they
should be in a better position to do well in an exam, through an
intelligently planned sequence of classroom activity.

Paul Francis, Author

Also includes teachers notes covering: plot, structure, narration, setting, character, key incidents, themes, imagery, dialogue, context, critical response and more!

“Interesting and individual points made… assists teachers by reinforcing their knowledge of the novel and giving ideas for tasks. The contextualising section was particularly helpful.”
Karen Bell A Level English Teacher & Independent Reviewer
