A Christmas Carol | Revise in 3 Weeks

A Christmas Carol | Revise in 3 Weeks

Three weeks. One text. The clearest possible route to your next grade.

The Revise in 3 Weeks guide is designed for pupils who want to understand A Christmas Carol the way an examiner does, and write about it at the level that gets you into the top grades. Hard working pupils aiming for Grade 5 and above will get the most from this guide, though it is accessible to all.

Each of the first two weeks works through the key moments in the text using fully annotated extract pages. You are not just reading about the text. You are seeing how an expert reader thinks about it, in real time, on the page.

The guide then shows you how to use that knowledge. Using the GCSE Boost bookmarks, pupils of all levels are guided through how to write about the texts in detail and with real proficiency. Paragraph structures and essay structures are covered clearly. By the end of this guide, you will not feel unclear about what you need to do in a Literature essay. You will know exactly what to do, and you will have practised doing it.

The third week shifts the focus from understanding the text to expression, including how to craft your writing to move from clear, to thoughtful, to judicious. You work with model paragraphs, look closely at what separates a Grade 6 response from a Grade 8, and practise applying the analytical skills you have been building throughout the guide to your own written responses.

By the end of three weeks, you will not just know A Christmas Carol. You will know how to write about it.
