If you prefer to have a hard copy, you can purchase it here."

"Use this fantastic resource to see what an AQA paper looks like. why not try a couple and send them to your teacher for extra, personalised feedback?"

Revision Workbook

Miss McLean says...

"With extracts from each scene and great activities, go through the entire play quickly!"

Quotes

Miss McLean says...

"In your exam, you will need to compare the extract with another moment in the play. This wont be given to you, so you will need to memorise quotations and make sure that they are relevant to the question. this booklet will help with this, but you could also click here to go to the quotes page

General Revision

Miss McLean says...

"While this is still a great resource, I would use this as a means to check your understanding rather than start your revision."
