Lost in Austen?

Some lucky students are still enjoying the Easter holidays, not due to go back until next Monday. This gives a little extra time for chilling / revision / coursework catch-up - according to kind of student you are ;-).
Meanwhile many teachers are madly planning lessons and resources for the coming term (such is a teacher’s ‘holiday’).

Last month a new student guide was released on the web to help pupils get to grips with Jane Austen’s Persuasion, which features on the OCR and Cambridge Pre U Eng. Lit. syllabuses. Now there is imminent help for stressed teachers – a series of downloadable teaching ideas and resources to help your students find their way into a better appreciation of the novel, which will be shortly available.

• Find out whether Austen felt her heroine Anne Elliot just a little too good to be palatable.
• Discover what Austen and Thomas Hardy have in common (apart from being English novelists that is!).

Where?

Both guide and downloads are to be found on Crossref-it.info. This web resource is regularly getting almost thousands of visits a day, as more and more students discover how it can help them succeed at AS, A2 and even undergraduate study.

If you are a regular subscriber to this blog you already know this. You know you have got all the support you need as you face the examination season.
Why not make yourself feel even better – perform an act of kindness and pass the link on to someone who doesn’t.
