We’ll provide lesson plans for each of our poems, along with a digital anthology of material such as audio recordings of the poems and support for the comparison requirements.  \nComparison of poetry.  \n• We know that comparison can be a challenging skill for some learners to master, and there is a requirement within GCSE English Literature for learners to compare seen and unseen texts. Our comparison will always be tackled through poetry: through one question comparing two studied anthology poems, and one question asking learners to compare two unseen poems, which will always be modern. There will beno cross-genre comparison.  \nUse of extracts to support effective language analysis.  \n• All the examinations will be closed book. In order to facilitate close language analysis, we have developed extract-based questions to ensure that the right skills are being assessed.  \nA range of question types to support all learners.  \n• Using what we have learned from our previous GCSE and Certificate papers, we have employed a combination of question types to help students access both the more complex texts and the assessment objectives. For example, both our Shakespeare and 19th century questions are split into two to help students focus on a short extract for close language analysis and then answer a longer question to show their knowledge of the whole text.  \nLearn more about English Literature with Pearson Edexcel  \nMapping documents from your current exam board  \nTo help make the transition from your current exam board as easy and straightforward as possible, we have created three mapping documents for you to download:  \nAQA mapping chart  \nOCR mapping chart  \nEduqas mapping chart  \nNew text additions  \nBased on overwhelming feedback from you about the choice of texts available for KS4 students to study, we’ve recently added two new texts, two novels and a poetry","cbCaifEByRcdrqzW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifEByRcdrqzW","pdf",1452447,"English","# Paper 1: Shakespeare\n## Paper 1 Section A: Shakespeare\n# Paper 2: 19th Century Fiction\n## Paper 2 Section A: 19th Century fiction\n# Section B Choices\n## Post-1914 British Drama or Fiction\n## Poetry\n# Choice of Texts\n## Shakespeare\n## British fiction or drama\n## 19th century novel\n# Poetry Support and Comparison Approach\n## Anthology themes\n## Seen and unseen poem comparison\n# Closed-Book Extract-Based Language Analysis\n# Question Types for Different Learners\n# Transition Mapping and Resources\n## AQA mapping chart\n## OCR mapping chart\n## Eduqas mapping chart\n# New Text Additions and Past Papers","[{\"question\":\"How is GCSE (9-1) English Literature assessed across Paper 1 and Paper 2?\",\"answer\":\"Paper 1 covers Shakespeare (Section A) and allocates time and weight accordingly, while Paper 2 covers 19th century fiction (Section A).
