Bitesize GCSE English Literature

Available for over a year

Writer Hollie McNish is joined by beatbox poet Testament to bring you some study tips for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. They’ll help you prepare for your GCSE English Literature exam where you’ll need to understand and write about key themes of the play and draw them together. They break down the Prologue right at the very beginning before the action even begins which sums up the whole play and holds the key to understanding the whole play. We’ll discuss how to use that information in your exam whatever question comes up because it draws together every other theme. Hollie and Testament discuss the best way to read the text and how to remember it. They’ll also recommend single quotes that can address many different themes and how to trigger your memory accurately.
