OCR English GCSE Lit

I'm taking GCSEs this summer and I'm doing OCR board for both lit and lang. I've never heard anyone else do OCR for english so if anyone can suggest resources for lit that would be so helpful!

I do Macbeth, Jekyll and Hyde, Youth&Age poetry and Never Let Me Go.

I was unable to find anything at all for poetry and i could only see AQA exemplar essays for most of the other texts. Thank you!!

i can't tell you how happy i am to find someone else that not only does OCR, but also Never let me go.

I do: Macbeth, War of the Worlds, Conflict poetry and Never Let Me Go.

For poetry, i analysed everything then I memorised 6 poems of all different types of conflict for poetry part b. I'm not sure how it works in Youth and age, but maybe try placing the poems in different categories and learning the best one from each category.

If you PM me, i can give you my tutors details, he's really really useful.

Best of luck with your GCSEs, hope u have a nice easter

i think it is because TSR doesnt allow us to saend any sort of "personal info" such as phone numbers which is what i gave to you.
