Very in-depth for the age group needed. I like the idea of glossary terms at the back if they don't understand. Would recommend.

Here are our top reasons to buy the Great Expectations Text Guide (Ages 14-16):

  • Covers Great Expectations for GCSE English Literature with AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas
  • 84 pages of notes on context, plot, characters, themes and the writer's techniques

If your Year 10 or Year 11 student is studying Great Expectations for GCSE English Literature, this guide covers the whole novel.

A detailed breakdown of Pip's character arc, including his flaws, positive traits, and growth
An analysis of Pip's character development, with a writing task to discuss his changes.

GCSE exams come at the end of Year 11, so there is time to learn the novel properly. This Great Expectations Text Guide suits AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas, so it matches whichever paper your student sits. It covers context, plot, characters, themes and the way Dickens writes.

Revision notes on Pip's character arc, including his traits, thoughts, and development from innocent to ambitious
Revision notes on Pip's character arc, including his traits, thoughts, and development from innocent to ambitious.

Notes come first in the 84-page printed book, then questions on it. Warm-up activities lead into longer exercises and exam-style questions, with harder ones for students aiming at Grades 8-9. The profiles of Pip and Estella show the method well, setting out each character before handing over a writing task.

A detailed character profile of Estella, analysing her cold nature, wealth, and relationship with Pip
A character profile of Estella from Great Expectations, analysing her cold nature and relationship with Pip.

Essay advice shows how to plan an answer and choose quotations, and a cartoon-strip summary pulls the plot together. In CGP RevisionHub, the quizzes and tests store every score, so your student can see which sections still need work.
