AQA A Lit: Victorian Era: Wider Reading for A Level

For AQA A Level Literature Units 1 and 2

Comprehensively covers the 'Wider Reading' component of the AS course, using thematically linked extracts and supporting notes. The nature of this resource helps students to gather ideas from a broad range of texts and appreciate how different aspects link together.

I particularly liked the grouping of extracts into themes, the mind map for pulling knowledge together and the clear focus on language, structure and form throughout

What do teachers say about this resource? (3293)

The resource is well organised with a good balance between teacher notes and student activities. The extracts are well chosen; strong comparisons and contrasts can be made.

C Webb, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

A useful resource. I particularly liked the grouping of extracts into themes, the mind map for pulling knowledge together and the clear focus on language, structure and form throughout. The materials focus well on the skills students will need to develop if they are to do well in the AQA LITA1 exam.

H Harvey, HoD & Peer Reviewer

An excellent range of materials on the Victorian era. The quotes and extracts will encourage the students to further their reading as most were evocative and well chosen... good range of activities too... It gives detailed analysis of Victorian Literature and also encourages the students to record their own wider reading (paying close attention to AOs) This will enable each student to give a varied, detailed answer for AQA A Literature assessments.

S Fallon, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

This resource would serve as a good insight into the different contextual issues before embarking on the coursework element of the syllabus. Pupils are expected to be able to cross-reference and to bring in wider reading - and this is certainly covered in this resource. All very accessible for A Level pupils.

L Kirby, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Lots of suggestions for a structured approach to a variety of texts. Clear and impressive links to assessment objectives.
