Teaching Wuthering Heights for A Level Eng. Lit

Teachers’ worksheets for Emily Brontë’s masterpiece

Following hot on the heels of last month’s release of teaching resources (for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby), this month Crossref-it.info has produced worksheets to help time-short A Level teachers address significant concepts in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.

> Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights downloadable worksheets for teachers


Covering work for a series of lessons and classroom tested, the latest set of downloadable worksheets include the following areas of study:

  • The impact of the opening of the novel
  • How characters and locations are doubled through the text
  • The significance of imagery and symbolism
  • The genre(s) covered by Wuthering Heights.

Each sheet can be printed off and used for homework tasks or to help students catch up missed work, and there is also a series of directed questions investigating each chapter of the text.

To help students speedily access helpful information, the downloads also suggest where they can find relevant material in the online guide to Wuthering Heights launched earlier this term. In that you will discover detailed commentaries on each chapter, sections on Narrative, Structure and Imagery amongst others, along with clear explanations of how the novel fits within the literary conventions of its day.

We’re starting to get to that point where everything moves up a gear in preparation for forthcoming examination. Crossref-it is here to help.
