Pearson Edexcel Anthology - Prose and Poetry Made Easy
This 5-day course for students studying the Pearson Edexcel iGCSE Anthology will give you the tools to tackle these texts. We will clearly, methodically (and, hopefully enjoyably!) look at how to read, analyse and write about these texts with confidence and authority. Having taught this iGCSE Anthology to exam level to a wide range of students, many of whom have found these texts tricky, I am confident in helping any student to increase their grade when writing about these texts. Before the Course starts, students will be sent; A schedule for each lesson, so that they know what to expect. A copy of the anthology. A pack of study material that we will use during the course, and that students will find useful in future studies. This Course is accessible and differentiated for dyslexic students and other students who have a neurodiverse way of learning. There will be an optional short piece of homework that students may like to complete and submit before the Course starts and also between each session.
