English
This course is perfect for A-level English Literature students on any exam board. It is designed to help you respond confidently to any question that comes up in the exam, no matter which texts you study. Every week, you'll explore a new theme and practice applying it across your set texts. This will help you to build a toolkit of arguments, theories, AO5 criticism, and approaches that will make you feel confident that you can answer any question in the exam. How it works Weekly themes: Each week focuses on a key theme (see the 'Course Content' section for more). Explainers: Each week, I provide a detailed handout packed with theory for AO1, literary and linguistic terminology with definitions, AO5 quotes, and examples from texts and media. 10 essay questions per week: I provide you with 10 essay questions written in an A-level exam style. Five of these questions are statement-based, and five are question-based. They aren't tied to any specific text, so you get some extra revision by figuring out how they apply to the texts you study. 90% of the questions I ask you haven't been covered by your exam board yet! Your task: You must choose at least one essay question to respond to per week, but you can do all 10 as many times as you want. You respond with a detailed breakdown of how you'd answer the question. Or, if you have the time, you can respond with an essay extract or a full essay. It's completely up to you! Grading: Once you've submitted your weekly responses, I will give you a grade for each one. Each submission is graded A*-U and also tells you how close you are to the next grade boundary. Interaction with others: See how other students tackled the same questions and add your own thoughts and counterpoints to interact with them more and build together. I will also be responding to students' answers when I think they're interesting or need more fleshing out. Accessible anywhere: You can use the platform online or via the mobile app. Excellent for revision This course is excellent for revision because of its flexibility. The layout means that you have to figure out ways to make each themed week apply to your text, forcing you to think outside the box. By adapting the questions to the set texts you study at school, you'll develop the skill of thinking critically about themes you never even considered before. That way, you'll never be caught off guard with unexpectedly difficult exam questions. The cross-text, cross-board approach means that you'll be ready for anything, whether you're on AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC, CCEA or any other exam board. You can see how other students have been taught to answer things and gain AO3 literary context by reading answers related to other texts. The students who are most likely to get an A* are the ones who know how to argue for their interpretation well. By interacting with other students and having discussions about how far you agree or disagree, you can build up each other's argumentation skills and force each other to think deeper about your texts. It creates a lovely, supportive study group vibe. Parental access If a parent would like to keep up with your progress on the course, there are a few things they need to do: When purchasing the course, fill in the boxes with their own details to create a Learning Hub account.
