Moving from GCSE to AS-Level

At AS-Level you will need to use a different vocabulary to discuss texts, as well as demonstrate an ability to study texts in greater depth than at GCSE level.

This unit will focus on the text “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (written in 1892)

in order to practise these particular skills.
