This Graphic Revision Guide for Charles Dickens' Great Expectations makes studying or revising this iconic novel easy. Suitable for all GCSE English Literature examinations. Brilliant Publications' Graphic Revision Guide for Great Expectations has been specially written by Elizabeth May to support students with lower ability or special educational needs (SEN). It contains teaching resources especially tailored to strengthen the student's understanding of plot, characters, quotes, themes and more.

The book brings an element of fun and informality to the study of this classic GCSE text, repackaging large amounts of complex information in an engaging and simple manner. Studying the sheets doesn t seem like reading or working, yet having these graphic sheets in front of them helps students immensely in understanding and sequencing the plot, remembering key events, distinguishing between characters and understanding characters perspectives.
Although initially designed to help and support SEN students, the author soon found that all the students in the class wanted copies of the graphic sheets and benefited from using them. Many students find it difficult to remember what happened in a book and in what order, let alone to write a timed essay picking apart the intricacies of it. With this book, students will gain confidence in their knowledge before jumping into the deep end.

Our Graphic Revision Guide for Great Expectations contains:

the story of Great Expectations re-told in comic form, making it easy to follow the plot
context pages, giving background information on Charles Dickens and the types of fiction in the book
character pages for each of the main characters, including quotes from the book
theme pages for the key themes of the book gender roles, love, religion, class with relevant quotations for each
additional graphic reference material to help with the setting and bringing the plot to life
activity pages ranging from vocabulary lists and matching the quote to the picture to character and quote analysis maps.
The sheets are designed to be accessible to students with a range of special educational needs (SEN) through the use of:
a heavy focus on visuals to help students to remember, understand, get interested in and create associations to the text
simple language for greater accessibility
a focus on vocabulary explaining and rephrasing tricky words
a focus on plot comprehension; chapter summaries are condensed to include key events, and are image-based to help students remember what happened and consolidate a full picture of the plot
key quotes are repeated and linked to characters and themes.

Elizabeth has been working with SEN pupils in primary and secondary settings since graduating from the University of Sussex with an English Language BA in 2014. She has spent many an hour helping SEN pupils in English Literature lessons as a teaching assistant, and figured out along the way that simple, engaging visual retellings of stories across the GSCE English curriculum prove effective in helping the pupils to understand what they are reading. Currently she works as Deputy SENCo at an Outstanding-graded London school, where she also delivers speech and language interventions, and always tries to make learning as visual and engaging as possible.
