They cover the GCSE English Literature texts below: - **A Christmas Carol** - **An Inspector Calls** - **Macbeth** Each weekly task has a hyperlink to some good quality material (e.g. a video or some notes). The idea is for students to engage with the information and then use it to create a series of flashcards for self-testing later down the line. It’s likely that each set of tasks will take between 30-50 minutes to complete. ![Screenshot 2024-07-13 at 10.20.06](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-07-13%20at%2010.20.06.png?width=750&height=352&name=Screenshot%202024-07-13%20at%2010.20.06.png) Hope the resource is 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=AVxigLI4%2BMP%2FWw9hU5uQ2lnxhFXdv8lvZ%2BozqJYb3OxRlFRSg58YmqLioL%2BLzk7Hyhj7rohpeyszEbSwFqeAsveQvtAM5a%2F1QFjopcHQE9186f24ZusyhErByaSVXQk4mQj0SepxXWVrOekvq7yiLwj8p9tJxVjvSL7a%2FF7bqq0CnT%2BalqubhNh9FBh2KXqu1QYsVm4uMOx%2FZNzjkxiHxCBF4tlG0bWLpSMEgNoqTMD6j0LyFwT2Vl%2BFKiG7XUC4ggYuXVfBT2iKdelUm8xt%2BSE56IzOoan54%2BSE1xZWe2LqpMmvm1QJTYGE6p2OoXLVDAI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87503291119&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=AVxigLKFV7o5go7mWKsTPL0Gvwehzb83B1GH3MnBmDSirjcxsYJwzYPikj96AJD5t%2BdyrZzGk%2Brw5J9i8%2FFQj3A6BSs4gIemLFpNLF63OGbLnEM%2F%2F3NXMcuWv%2BIEet%2B8FGOMy6sN81LfF6Ca2JaMWYH7%2FMlMtN9KSmujLRvR37pUlKCs%2BMtpkvPKTvGDedA0QJyiqYeKUJxSs0ITCESbb%2FfBUZqpATDjB8umQduGq7sbFcBd7re%2Fe%2B1YYljukNlJQWqsassAaBhIkuHCthTSVyrzSsfMqSv69y0%2B3mmxUU4%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87489670120&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=AVxigLKOKHYNpRb4ny059xVSo0AtsaOvgf3ujWIzg41OXDb%2FXrNX%2BfETp00RGh74BfVyiv%2FoC54ieKuZo8FNpvXfGV4az76URSpOUafDP4luO4%2BEaXqaJpz5GDHCi6533CFFrHxiFIM28Tu%2FX8vqQezE9%2BgeFpUrrIt13XMhdMmJ1bn3RQgffGzOYFOajwFAoNjq5%2BoPn8Qwmj2AsLmDC%2FGZsrr0Lx8jfbk8Gg2lyw%2FiKcXCyTirWxhvkcAl9p4s6GlErdSC563trRb1HKzzxUSKAnAOxFEy1AoJS6w6iOY%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87809133036&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
