| 'The resource is very informative and has an engaging conversational tone throughout. It clearly explains how to get an A*. It is motivational and puts the emphasis on the student and what they can do and this is good. This resource explains to the student what they need to do and how they can extend and develop their performance in class and in an exam. There are excellent examples of how the explorative strategies, elements of drama and drama medium can be used to develop and deliver outstanding drama. The history section is especially good. The resource provides a comprehensive overview of the Edexcel exam criteria and clearly explains how students can achieve an A*. I really enjoyed reading this resource and I felt that the author communicated effectively with his intended audience.' M Kocziban, Head of Drama and Independent Reviewer |
| 'Very articulate, and easy to read. I liked the approach the author takes. It is an intelligent guide with some clever ideas and these are simply expressed, and therefore accessible for pupils. The author is very good at thinking "outside the box", and has clearly a track record in encouraging pupils to do so also. Lots of examples back this up. The author enhances learning and hopes to raise pupil achievement by helping pupils to identify specific assessment criteria and then explores what kind of action will demonstrate understanding or skills to get the points.' K Meredith-Jones, Edexcel Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer |
