Hodder English: The Crucible Level 4 (Hodder English 4) Book

This is part of a course of language and literature study at Key Stage 4. The course covers language work and literary and non-literary texts including contemporary and pre-20th century poetry, literature, drama and media. In addition to a course book, there are seven self-contained literature study books, each leading the student through the close study of a major or set text, or prescribed period of poetry within its historical, social and cultural context. This volume offers ideas and material to support a class reading of this GCSE text, and to make the play accessible to all students. The first half of the guide establishes the characters and the main issues, and asks key questions about the text. Individual and group activities aim to motivate students to form their own opinions, while reading, writing and oral tasks generate written course work and discussion. Students are also provided with the opportunity to research the historical, social and cultural background to the play, and draw parallels with contemporary experiences and values.Read More
