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 introduces Victorian poetry to GCSE students. It explores ways of approaching, reading and responding to pre-20th century poetry and helps students to develop an understanding of writers' techniques, concentrating in particular on the work of Tennyson, Rossetti and Hardy. Structured speaking, listening, reading and writing activities help prepare students for examination work, as well as generating written course work and providing opportunities for oral assessment. National Curriculum requirements for the study of pre-20th century poetry are covered, with research into the historical, social and cultural context of Victorian writing.

Following the recommendation by the National Literacy Strategy for use of 10-15 minute lesson starters, Hodder English Starters is a flexible resource bank offering a wealth of ideas for Key Stage 3 teachers. The selection of starter activities revises, consolidates and extends the basic skills specified in the Framework of Objectives, and each starter adopts an interactive and explicit teaching approach for the whole class. Specific instructions for the teacher are followed by photocopiable/OHT materials and activities, providing the teacher with all the resources required for that particular lesson starter. This extensive guidance helps teachers to effectively deliver the new Framework Objectives within the National Literacy Strategy. Hodder English Starters: Word Level looks specifically at the Word Level Objectives and teachers are able to select activities to fit into any course or scheme of work they may be following. Sections include the teaching of vowels, plurals, suffixes and roots, through to homophones, word families, link words and language variation.
