Subject: English Literature & Language Your first week will see you completing essays on TWO of your Literature texts. This means

that your revision should be focused on your 19th Century Novel (this will either be A

Christmas Carol, The Sign of Four or Jekyll and Hyde - depending on what your class has

studied) and Macbeth. You should concentrate on aspects of context, major

characters and themes and make sure that you keep revising those key quotations!

You will get more specific guidance in class as your teachers continue to prepare you.
