GCSE Notes.

note: scroll down to my other replies within the thread for other resources

I made these last year and thought I may aswell share them with others as they may be useful (I achieved an A* so I guess they're pretty good)

I only have Of Mice and Men notes, and full essays that I wrote for each major character and theme along with Carol Ann Duffy, Simon Armitage poems, and pre-1914 poem analysis.

I'm not sure if these are stilluseful to anyone as I do not know if your exam is over, although I made these last year (I achieved an A* so it I guess they're pretty good) and thought I may aswell post them up as I do not need them anymore.

I only have Of Mice and Men notes, and full essays that I wrote for each major character and theme along with Carol Ann Duffy, Simon Armitage poems, and pre-1914 poem analysis. If you would like me to upload the poem notes or essays, then feel free to post on this thread and I will have a look for them.

Unfortunately I only have OMAM, and Duffy/Armitage/Pre-1914
If you are doing AQA you don't need these Mice and Men quotes as they give you an extract to write about

It usually says something like "In the passage above, how does Priestly present social problems at the time?" and you'd say like Racism, Isolation, Social discrimination etc

I wish we got more time and even a clean copy of the book with WJEC.

1 extract question, 1 essay question, 1 question asking you to write about 2 unseen poems which we know nothing about. I have gathered that other exam boards give you a theme or anthology of what could come up in the exam (please correct me if I am wrong), but we get nothing with WJEC. We also have to compare and contrast the poems.

All of this in two hours on tuesday.

Mate, you do realise that is only for part a of the question? Part b of the question talks about "the novel as a whole" :fyi:

Oh right, I always use the passage for part b aswell as it's better to write a lot about a little

These notes are great! I'm just stuck on the significance of Slim in the story- what is the purpose of the character what is Steinbeck trying to relay to the reader about the time in America? I thought perhaps hid knowledge and kindness showed that during the Depression there were still some great people whose power came from within them, and that he represents the hope and intellect that some people were capable of at the time?
Please help ! :smile:
