Carol Ann Duffy - A Level

DD is really struggling with CAD / Feminine Gospels, and needs some help. Her teacher is useless - I've spent a year and a half saying "She doesn't understand what is expected of her - what can we do to make this clearer?" and the teacher continues to mark her down and provide limited or no feedback. Yes, I have e-mailed the school, but I need a back up solution too as A Levels are fast approaching! This is the only text she has problems with - high marks on everything else. I've tried to find a tutor for CAD / Feminine Gospels only but no luck so far (I appreciate it is a very specific request). I've looked at online resources and come across Massolit (https://www.massolit.io/users/personal/signup). I'm not able to view the videos without paying first, so wanted to check if there were any teachers on here who had used the resource (specific to Carol Ann Duffy), and what their thoughts were? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Any ideas about the way forward (other than Massolit) would also be greatly appreciated.

hello , did you get this sorted?

I assume this is AQA Lit A. What are her other texts? Wuthering Heights (a favourite as you can see!) and Othello?

Make sure that literally every answer hits each of the 6 assessment objectives no matter what. I did that back in the day and got 600/600 in English lit a level . I don't know if much has changed but the marking criterion should be published. I did CAD back then too.

We subscribe to Massolit. They are great. Suggest the school gets access for the students.
Also go to the board's website and look at old examiners' reports.
We do it for coursework and I don't teach that paper (OCR).

Why is she struggling with only this one and not any of the other texts? That would be really helpful in understanding how to advise.

Our school subscribes to Massolit and the lectures are really useful. They’re split into really bite size chunks so you’re not listening to an hour at a time, trying to pay attention and take notes.

LitCharts is a good online study guide too but also requires you to subscribe.
