Small Things Like These for the Comparative Study (HL) - Complete Bundle

Everything you need to teach *Small Things Like These* for the Leaving Cert English Comparative Study (Higher Level): Student Textbook and Teacher Guide in one download. Designed for the Leaving Certificate English Comparative Study at Higher Level, the bundle covers all four modes: Cultural Context, Literary Genre, Theme or Issue, and General Vision and Viewpoint. Every comparison point is partner-agnostic, so the set works whatever texts you pair the novella with. The free Text Suitability Guide is included as well, so you have the complete set together. **What's included (three PDF files)** - **Student Textbook (29 pages):** continuous, exam-ready analysis of the novella, written for students to read independently. Each mode chapter opens with a "Reading for this mode" primer and "What the examiners ask", works through the novella's key moments with close readings and technique tables, and ends with a sample comparative paragraph (with slots for the student's second text), "Setting this text against others" notes, and a comparison grid in which the *Small Things Like These* column is already filled in and the Text 2 and Text 3 columns are left for the student's own combination. Original, SEC-style practice questions for every mode close the book. Licensed for the purchasing teacher to copy for their own students. - **Teacher Guide (25 pages):** the preparation done for you. Before-you-teach and sensitive-content notes; the novella for the teacher (story and structure, characters, the world of the novella, themes, how it is told, and the outlook); a key-moments bank and a quotation and reference bank, each entry attributed to its moment in the novella; all four modes broken down (what examiners reward, where the novella is strong, what to teach, the errors to pre-empt); a workable teaching sequence and the misreadings of *Small Things Like These* to pre-empt; notes on running the textbook's comparison grids, sample paragraphs and practice questions; coupling guidance; assessment essentials (PCLM marking, the PEAL paragraph shape, timing); and question-angle banks drawn from recent SEC papers. - **Text Suitability Guide (2 pages, free):** the at-a-glance overview of the novella: synopsis, themes, sensitive content, and its strengths in the comparison modes at both Higher and Ordinary Level. The comparison grid rows are identical across every Prescribed Shelf comparative Student Textbook, so if your other texts are covered too, the three books line up row by row for your exact text combination.
