It’s fully editable and covers four areas:  1. **Short summaries for key scenes** 2. **Information on contextual factors** 3. **An overview of big ideas** 4. **An example exam task** ![1-Oct-12-2024-09-25-19-2930-AM](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/1-Oct-12-2024-09-25-19-2930-AM.png?width=750&height=351&name=1-Oct-12-2024-09-25-19-2930-AM.png) ![Screenshot 2024-10-12 at 10.26.01](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-12%20at%2010.26.01.png?width=750&height=351&name=Screenshot%202024-10-12%20at%2010.26.01.png) ![3-Oct-12-2024-09-25-19-4809-AM](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/3-Oct-12-2024-09-25-19-4809-AM.png?width=750&height=351&name=3-Oct-12-2024-09-25-19-4809-AM.png) The idea is for students to follow the process below: 1. **Read the short summaries** 2. **Use existing notes from exercise books (etc.) and the text itself to answer the questions** 3. **Use that information to eventually create revision cards** 4. **Use the revision cards to self-quiz** I’ve tried to keep the presentation of the booklet as uncluttered as possible. I’ve also tried to avoid ‘crowding’ it with *too much* information. The purpose is simply to provide students with the fundamentals they need to *build upon *as part of their revision. 👻 You can access a similar revision companion on A Christmas Carol by clicking [here](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/revision-companion-for-a-christmas-carol) I hope it’s useful – Doug [hello@douglaswise.co.uk](mailto:hello@douglaswise.co.uk) [![�� A CHRISTMAS CAROL RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87503291119.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLd9E5qrlbRTq6lq14ofRgFfcjfREiVEr9M1aFVqkF%2FvPL9WXRFREe657KQedPH5XDsfQzyBScw2%2Bl1ns7LTizD2R%2B5Ju7SvGoZbskP4elfgC3AtjQSr%2FwP%2BIX8PBh9hRukYhpRYSJpT%2FyGwNqTxtG6wYOGaPbTvCDAKLnCnQuslE9WfepipGZva%2FknQbuPwHz%2B8o6NldKUiqp5BXLFVv953EHA0NyyqfneIHO0svzCUPGohx%2FfWBtkoBVegOQgZbttjlhyqKHz2f9ryqyhY%2BQSrlATzyNfT4OehFWwgUkO8e2H0rSe2r2XCInc3F4%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87503291119&portalId=143698377) [![⚔️ MACBETH RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87809133036.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLIa4DSYIMAfRkLSQqH0bP2Pkx0xZ4ksL74JWfPGRMXa%2BgWL6tNtqQoxgMIzv1Iplu%2FA13AXSiAKWvyFQjzT8XzJW10xFGrMzA8CroTQ5ji4L1UOt1oCW34QwzjSeItraABwCPUqHMo%2FYL5zYeksda9BV1qxmfcK48%2BSNj1tCS%2Fnxlqk7BWeqrMs8ktBZ3buWAGFpWZgcYIbILpjzIH3TA2xeI3E3FY5u9BD9LQc%2B8tx48EMdziS1iiRZfT%2BPqW4WRdBGrmb026ej28mlOjsg6hk6%2FRswYkQss9W9Ck%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87809133036&portalId=143698377) [![�� AN INSPECTOR CALLS RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87489670120.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJSzh3W%2BReJbZVcGQif8xVfySmDLM2Jb46kBvN%2BzMg679qLVrND39U9mA%2F8QNDTJTHqh8VSPKHgCRKcClQRdFWtGzOB%2Fyxykxev4uTS3bZRODOTSF7cKxcP0VAfF%2Fq81tJDK5ezvVBBe3jOXHKFmQAAnScI7sqMHC%2B38Ah67IesHLU5C7cUAk%2FTXj58DIvMVOKQL4k%2F9Mmd2ruv8y0rlPZrdHRkClh2owpddpdLwDDZOPXhSt2G0lDZnJlawqeV00uEHAaiBOphiHE90ZuAxjIQvm0b%2Fv1%2BL5VzKlo%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87489670120&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
