GCSE who have never thoroughly studied literature or cinema.
In-depth descriptions of key features enable more-capable
students to learn important terminology.

political context; structure; narrative; symbols; and more!
Carefully crafted activities consolidate understanding.

needed to write an effective essay, including:

- Organising and developing ideas
- Critical and analytical commentary
- Justifying personal opinions
