"Routes Through English" focuses on essential aspects of GCSE English course and examination work. This book supports students through their studies of poetry for GCSE and encourages an appreciation of a wide range of poetry, particularly among boys. It offers a range of multi-cultural works from classic and contemporary poets, with a balance of both familiar and new poems. Structured, progressive questions develop key skills gradually and comprehensively. Information about the literary, cultural and historical contexts of the texts ensure students have a firm base on which to build their skills and knowledge. The course is designed to develop exactly the skills students will need to demonstrate in their coursework, building their ability and confidence. Tailor-made for the NEAB syllabus, the course is equally ideal for use with all GCSE English syllabuses and responds to the requirements of the revised (2000) National Curriculum. The sources have been selected to engage the full ability range through a variety of texts by different authors and in different formats.
Suitable for in-depth study, the sources also provide ideal contexts for developing skills of analysis and literary understanding. The texts are chosen specifically to engage students' interest and challenging activities and discussion points provoke student debate. In addition, structured tasks and learning strategies provide support and guidance for all abilities.
