Publisher's Synopsis
This is part of a course of language and literature study at Key Stage 4. The course covers language work and literary and non-literary texts including contemporary and pre-20th century poetry, literature, drama and media. In addition to a course book, there are seven self-contained literature study books, each leading the student through the close study of a major or set text, or prescribed period of poetry within its historical, social and cultural context. This volume explores the text of "Jane Eyre", and offers ideas and material to support the GCSE students' reading of the novel. It looks at short sections of the novel in order to establish the main themes and develop an understanding of Charlotte Bronte's narrative style. Activities provided aim to motivate the students to form their own opinions, while reading, writing and oral tasks generate written course work and discussion. There are also opportunities for students to research the historical, social and cultural background to the novel.
