When deciding your coursework texts try to find ones that have a lot of resources online, so your texts like that would be:
- Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde
- Frankenstein
- Wasp Factor is a good novel but doesn’t have much online
- Macbeth
- Witheringly Heights
- Hardy’s Poems
- Northanger Abbey
- A Doll’s house by Henrick Ibsen
- The Yellow Wallpaper
- To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Eyre
- Blood brothers
Have you decided on a question? I know that if you follow the AQA exam board they allow you to choose your own question. You could always take a thematic approach to the question. So pick your two texts, carry a little research into them by reading summaries etc, look for key themes between your chosen two texts and then decide your question. Once you’ve researched into your theme create mindmaps on them so you can use them for future reference. Also, keep you question simple don’t try to over complicate it!
Currently, I’m in the process of doing my coursework and I have chosen to do Frankenstein and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I have taken a theme that is prevalent within the two texts like the duality of human nature and I’ve broken my overall theme down into 3 aspects: good vs. evil, rationale vs. Irrational and the gothic setting.
Hope that helps :-)
