GCSE Literature Mock - Unit 1 Modern Texts

Currently,  you should be preparing for the final Mock for your GCSE Literature course - the Unit 1 Modern Texts. You have completed the Romeo & Juliet CA (30%). You have completed the Unit 2 Poetry in Time Mock Exam (30%). All that is left is this exam (40%).

Of Mice and Men - 1 essay question based on an extract. (approx 45 mins)

An Inspector Calls - 1 essay question - usually based on a character or theme. (approx 45 mins)

Ask your teachers for resources.

Re-read the texts. Make notes on character, theme, language, plot.

You will then have completed 100% of GCSE Language and 100% of GCSE Literature. All that is left is to improve the grade you have and secure something better. Good luck. Mr Draper.
