This Macbeth Complete Play contains the full text of all five acts,
with helpful annotations explaining all the tricky bits in plain
English. It includes scene overviews and a context section, so that
students can keep track of the plot, characters and historical
details. Plus, there is lots of practice, with questions and
activities at the end of every scene. We've also added Knowledge
Organiser pages, which lay all the essentials out in one handy
place, and audio extracts, which let students hear key scenes
performed, just as Shakespeare intended. The CGP range for
Shakespeare also includes a matching Text Guide (9781841461168),
which contains all the notes and practice you need to really master
Macbeth!
This study guide is meant to be used along with the reading of the
novel Brave new world by Aldous Huxley. The guide is user-friendly and
practical to support the teaching process of the novel as literary work
in the classroom.
Various literary aspects are discussed in the book, including:
• historical context;
• plot outlines;
• central concerns;
• character development.
The guide features discussions of the novel chapter by chapter with
plenty of questions for individual reflection and class discussions. It
is aimed at the grade 12 learner who needs to engage with a personal
and intellectual understanding of the text in order to produce an
essay. The text, written in 1932, remains relevant and controversial
and will allow learners to test and challenge their own thinking around
individual freedom and the role of society. The guide aims to support
and open discussion.
My stomach went cold, as though I'd swallowed a trayful of ice
cubes. I looked out the window, half expecting to see someone
watching me. There was no-one. Just the wall my bedroom looks out
on. And as I looked at it, it seemed to be coming towards me,
getting closer and closer, looming over me so that I was sure it
would crush me. And then it broke into bits of concrete flying in
all directions, shouting `We know your secret!'. Bongani is a
smart, loveable young teenager, struggling to manage his tricky
life. Someone has discovered his terrible secret and Bongani must
find him and silence him. This fast-paced humorous story examines
serious issues with wisdom and sensitivity. It will entertain and
provoke even the most reluctant readers. "The trip that Bongani
takes us on - from the first peep, peep, peep of his ever-present
cell phone to the uncovering of a devastating secret that he's been
living with, has the speed and twists of a rollercoaster ride ...
with a surprise ending. But it's the intimacy of the writer's style
that keeps the reader constantly at Bongani's side - as well as on
his side." Niki Daly, judge of the MML Literature Awards.
