How well do you know your prescribed novel? Do you understand the contents and structure of your novel? Are you ready to write your exams? This study work guide has been compiled to help learners understand and grasp all aspects of the novel and use of language in Tsotsi, the prescribed novel for Grade 11 English Home Language. This study work guide has been compiled to the requirements of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) and all important aspects relating to the novel have been covered - in accessible language.

Remember! This guide cannot be used on its own as it refers to the prescribed text throughout.

What makes our study work guides different?
This study work guide forms part of a series. As the name suggests, this is not only a guide in which the novel is discussed, but also a workbook. Learners can write the answers to the contextual questions in a separate book. This provides revision for exams and tests and keeps valuable notes from going astray.
