New beginnings

Starting out

Welcome to all who are starting a new course in English at AS / A2 / Undergraduate Level! You are probably already experiencing the significant change of academic rigour compared to your studies so far.

If you have only just found out about www.crossref-it.info you will discover that there are a huge number of resources designed to help you make sense of the literature you are studying. Give yourself some time to surf around the site to get a flavour of what’s on offer.


Exciting developments

For existing users, there are some real highlights to look forward to this term:

• Two new text guides –
  • John Webster’s The White Devil
  • Jane Austen’s Persuasion

• Lots of handy biographies on frequently studied authors, from Achebe to Wordsworth

• New resources for teachers –
  • Lesson sequences on
    • Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale
    • Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale
  • Homework task sheets on many existing Crossref-it.info texts.

Language and film

Later in the autumn watch out for two entirely new Crossref-it resources:

• Audio-visual material linking passages of literature with a source text
• A Level English Language materials addressing the development of English.
