REally excellent synopsis of the acts you have! I teach high school seniors in English and they watch this over and over at home so they really can nail the ideas you present for their final paper/projects. Thank you!

hi sorry, private candidate here, so I can choose which Shakespeare text to write an essay on? I don't have to study Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, I can just study one for my exam?
Correct. Choose one Shakespeare text to answer only. You can study any of the texts on the exam spec. It's your choice.
❤

Yeah, it went well, till the last question about Sonnet 116 ideal love one came up. I've got no gf, so I didn't read that one.

Thank you for recording this video. It helped me a lot 😁❤
Great to hear. This is one of my best ones I think!

Thanks!
So in 2025 will you be able to choose the texts you write bout too? I’m home educated and going to a private school for exams and I only know Romeo and Juliet and Frankenstein.
Correct. Just check on the AQA website that the texts have been continued into the new year. They occasionally add or remove texts from year to year but most core Shakespeare and 19th century stay the same.
You are the best ❤
Thanks 😊
gcses soon. Ty
Thankyou so much
Most welcome 😊
I have an exam in 10 minutes😭

??
how about doing a video about the characters that come up in the gcse papers?
Nice idea! How About a video for Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Banquo and The Weird Sisters? (Maybe Macduff and Duncan as well)
your videos are saving my English grades thank-you so much
Very kind of you to say!
THANK YOU!
Thank you sir! Im going to use exposure as a contrasting poem within my papers :)
Good idea Tom. Great start on your revsion by the way. Keep it up! 👍
I'm crying now, remembering Jim Bloggs reading this poem to Hilda as they were dying from radiation sickness.
I've not read that comic before. Looks awesome!
When the bough breaks, well said that man
What about a video on the Theme of Insecurity and Vulnerability of Macbeth ?
Like the idea. Thanks for suggesting it! 👍
@@ComicsandLit Sir, I am glad that you liked it. Another idea: Contrast between the Moral Compasses of Banquo and Macbeth. Thanks again for your great videos.
This video was amazing and inspirational for my year 7 students!!!
Hey, thanks so much! Had they enjoyed it. 😉
😊❤
I am sinful for I have made it 778 views...
Does 778 have some significance I'm not aware of?
bro nobody else gets the cadence right on this one. great work, this is the best reading of charge of the light brigade I've yet heard
Thanks so much for saying. I worked hard on that recording so I'd get the sound of the dactyllic dimeter for my students!
Thank you for making poetry revision a little less boring ❤️
You're totally welcome. Glad to be of help!
Thanks❤
