The Merchant of Venice comes up in the GCSE English Literature exams at the end of Year 11, and this guide covers the whole play.

Shakespeare is hard to revise from memory alone, so this CGP text guide takes your student through the play scene by scene. The notes suit AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas. There are harder questions too, for a student aiming at grades 8-9.

The 80-page printed guide sets out the plot, the characters, the language, the themes and the context. Each section ends with warm-up activities, longer exercises and exam-style questions. Answers are included, so your student can mark their own work.

The character pages do a lot of the work here. Portia has her own profile, with her traits, the themes she carries and the techniques Shakespeare uses. That gives your student quotes to learn and clear points to make about them. A cartoon-strip summary recaps the plot, and the Online Edition adds activities for each board.
