GCSE English Literature: Romeo and Juliet

I've seen many textbooks for Romeo and Juliet by CGP, Collins, Oxford, etc, but I'm not sure which one would be the most useful or has helped people the most in year 11. Also, If someone knows where to find resources online, please let me know :smile:

Hi! 🙂
At my school, we do Romeo and Juliet with the exam board Edexcel. We use the CGP books for most of English (we have a whole stock of Relationship poetry CGP revision/textbooks.
I don't use textbooks as such, I mostly rely on what I was taught in class and re-reading the play. We also made a Google slide, each scene has its own slide and we would summarise what happens and write the themes, key quotes and maybe Shakespeare's intentions


Online Recourses:

Physics Maths Tutor. They have PDFs of themes, character profiles, exam prep, overviews, key quotes and more for other subjects too.

In class, we watch scene summaries by Course Hero on YouTube


(when I find the rest I will add them)
