An Inspector Calls:
- Do NOT buy Mr Salles’ revision guide on Inspector Calls. I bought it, yet it was a waste of money because the whole thing felt disorganised.
I bought and recommend:
- “12 AQA GCSE English Literature A Star Exam Answers: Full Mark A star (Grade 9) answers” by Joseph Anthony Campbell. It had complex ideas and I memorised the key content of the essays
Romeo and Juliet: I bought both Mr Salles and Mr Bruff for this. I’d pick Mr Salles’. Mr Salles had more complex ideas, more themes, a section for each character, etc. It was amazing. Very wordy though, but it was great.
A Christmas Carol:I bought “A Christmas Carol: 12 AQA GCSE English Literature A Star Exam Answers: Full mark A Star (Grade 9) Answers” by Joseph Antony Campbell. Complex ideas and I memorised the key content of the essays
English Language:- I bought “Mr Salles guide to 100% in English language” to help me with section A. I DON’T recommend, because it was useless. YouTube videos are more effective and useful for section A.
- I bought “Mr Salles guide to amazing storytelling”. I highly recommend for descriptive/story writing (Section B).
- I bought “Mr Salles guide to amazing descriptive writing”. I DON’T recommend, because I ended up referencing his storytelling guide more (even when doing descriptive writing instead of story writing). The storytelling guide contained both description + how to story-tell, which is what both descriptive and story writing require for AQA
These are all my recommendations for what worked for me and mini-reviews. At the end it’s you and your daughter’s choice
