We need your help!


New resources

Crossref-it.info has recently created some audio-visual clips taken from a variety of A Level texts. Featuring performances by current UK A Level pupils, each demonstrates how the author has been influenced by their own - and their audience’s - awareness of a culturally pervasive text – the Bible.

Teachers to the rescue!

We now need some teaching ideas / resources to accompany each AV clip (average length three minutes). As guidance we will send interested teachers a prototype worksheet based on one of the extracts. However, we are also looking for your own interesting ways of handling this material, whilst keeping an eye on A Level syllabus requirements.

Key facts
  • The deadline for submission is Monday 9th January
  • The successful resource selected for each extract will earn its creator £50.
Students, encourage your teachers to have a go!

If any of you are studying (and could tell your teacher) or teaching any of the following texts for A Level we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for resources on the following texts:

Elizabethan / Jacobean
  • Dr Faustus
  • Herbert - The Agonie
  • Donne - Death be not proud, Hymn to God in my sicknesse
  • Measure for Measure
  • Paradise Lost Bk 1
Romantic Lit.
  • Blake – Introduction, The Lamb
  • Frankenstein
  • Wordsworth - Intimations of Immortality
Victorian Lit.
  • Wuthering Heights
  • Jane Eyre
  • Great Expectations
  • Hopkins – I wake and feel
  • Our Mutual Friend
  • Tess of the d’Urbervilles
Modern Lit.
  • Clough – The Latest Decalogue
  • The Handmaid’s Tale
We can’t promise your name in lights, only that lots of other educationalists will bless you for helping them in their hour of need.

Do get in touch soon!
