Accolade PressâÇÖs new, comprehensive guide to KS3 Literature is your one-stop-shop for ensuring success in English at KS3 and beyond.With a focus on teaching essay writing skills, this stimulating volume incrementally walks students througháthe building blocks required to fashion a perfect essay. Starting with the writing ofáanalytical sentences centred around quotationsáand how we might stack them into paragraphs, it goes on to cover the art ofáinvoking historical context, before finally demonstratingáhow to bring everything seamlessly together.KS3 students are required to cover poetry, Shakespeare, drama and prose. Tackling each of these requirements in turn, this guide works witháthought-provoking set texts that push students further. As such, not only is this an invaluable resource for KS3 students looking to prime themselves for the rigours of GCSE, but it is also doubles asáa complete scheme of study for educators looking to build a syllabus.áTexts covered include:Anáanthology of nature poemsáranging from canonical Romantics (such as William Blake and William Wordsworth) to overlooked voices of the twentieth century (such as Hilda Doolittle and Amy Lowell).A selection ofápoems from the Harlem Renaissanceá(to exercise unseen poetry skills).ShakespeareâÇÖsáTwelfth NightáandáRomeo and Juliet.Oscar WildeâÇÖsáThe Importance of Being Earnestá(to cover twentieth century drama).F.
