The Yellow Wallpaper Activity Pack for A Level

A comprehensive and challenging activity pack with selected answers to support the exploration of The Yellow Wallpaper at A Level. Activities are linked to the A Level AOs and therefore provide a structured and focused route through the text.

I'd recommend this to any Sixth Form studying the text

The short story has been divided into four parts and each part includes:

  • AO1 exploration through thematic and character activities
  • AO2 literary activities and extract analysis
  • AO3 Comparisons with Pride and Prejudice and other literary texts

Also included: context, project work and Edexcel exam practice!

Activities include: group, pair and independent work, character comparisons, comprehension questions, role play, mind-mapping, creative and directed writing, discussions, quotation interpretation and analysis, close extract analysis, essay questions and much more!

The range of activities is wide, from basic introduction tasks to close study of extracts from the text

What do teachers say about this resource? (5211)

This clearly pushes students from AS standard to A2, outlining the AOs and offering inspirational study opportunities. Checkpoints for comparison against Pride and Prejudice are included at appropriate points. The range of activities is wide, from basic introduction tasks to close study of extracts from the text. The imaginative element of the pack is a great way to hook in the more creative and kinaesthetic learners. Spot on. I'd recommend this to any Sixth Form studying the text.

I liked the comparisons with other texts and the combination of project based work and exam practice. The comparisons would be very good to help students to broaden their understanding. The contextual information on the author was very interesting - students would be able to see what had inspired the author. I liked the way that challenging concepts were introduced to students, such as the idea of this text being a 'feminist allegory.

An engaging and carefully structured resource - it sets appropriate foundations before moving on to challenge A Level students appropriately without too much of a gap between expectations in the AS course... I was pleased to see that the challenge increases as student read further into the text.

P Englais, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

It's a pretty good resource actually, which would really challenge A Level students, and at the same time does direct them to what they need to know. I would definitely enjoy using it with students. This resource makes high demands on A Level students and would be helpful to support teachers in challenging the top end particularly.

Useful for pupils who wanted an additional text to complete independently... It doesn’t patronise but supports the pupils... The booklet is ready made.
