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=AVxigLLPCbAY5Gg7Isp4mo0TagkVwR%2F4wO73mf4v7zSw6CDnqQirJY5vrW5iJt7xJbGU6wQkbueNsodM4zrteqe9XwhgxwR26j5NGjbyDQhRdF9Vi%2Fomgc27b88hPD71Q5Bw3028dau06gL3SyoXkdDN343WRkRZf%2BVURpgHN%2FYkLRY0HkrzjxJPyS%2B303k4bWxbJopRkrF695d6XDUTk80haMfzNAGcWtaDo0CNFvERY0YhGxKDI4T%2FE1QDyxOdgPOr%2Fwyd9DBlsUlSS5L5YJzuxT5fb87yfx57NeSCtWgBI1NfxRM7mWp24zfOibHuIkjy1bl4255mueR1%2Bk%2FXadc1lA8u0ZI%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=AVxigLLt3WEAMJkQl1KWb7%2BnxCHF7j1BIRWQf3Ky1Pft5jK0spKjnL66aEzV1Bv2PTnuhXErRATf6291jv759xLX7ei6aq3pmxQaD3KXCEhYs7PDuzumfon%2Fl9byfXWtR%2BJlC2CRjWT%2B%2BILdm4msagkgJaY3eJ2c1RkuVzRyoV2%2BdpYEFbkypA4LzATE6Zk%2BctmgC2cMuZGoT9G8o1NemfU368J16QGCoKtLaLq%2BvfnPNDuy7BD%2BUmHUEeWqzj%2FOo1nhRRTuB9L6c8RIO1jyL0Sfz%2F87gMowo5gEf4W%2Bh48ZoLpHixJXEMSE%2FnBVCcdLUm27Nok%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=AVxigLL%2F5kqoIasqnc7BEYrmxeaI6FBjsBgJWyCGzrdUkG3TGPOwgH0iTOGX5cMhXHbRPyzZXf%2BxaNcjqCO3dL5l8tPunFVSuEnzfu5MHAaQBiTHAJ370Zj43MbsL%2FVZ8fklwuLxhG8fsLxcINVaeTtK8zTeqrr%2FuZhYNyyCdlCpRxNXEjkabnDMvEWN94EiM369rrJWu%2BSuh9dqxq3YXbyhMmwi9Na3A57zVlvfptVE1kbZMkV26cwtIghqZUXkBDZAkGk3KOa%2F6MY5hcR4W1GD5oRdVPT8pSfRZQZlNJc3MBiLaGx9ZSrVNZhbOI7g69%2BZ4YY%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87809133036&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
