What do teachers say about this resource? (1764, 10223, 11621)
A must for anyone teaching this novel, no matter how well you already know it. Even if you've taught this novel before, this resource is invaluable. It will enable teachers to focus on teaching rather than simply 'getting through' the novel, particularly in the tight and highly demanding time frame of the new specifications... The revision sections, weblinks and various pages on themes, settings, characters, relationships, etc. are incredibly useful for both students and teachers. The glossaries are excellent, especially for the more archaic lexis... I really liked the summaries of each chapter... These are invaluable for anyone, especially teachers new to this novel or needing a refresher, [or] absent students. The extract analyses that appear throughout are also useful exam prep, building up in stages... Enhances learning fantastically well – a range of tasks for varying teaching styles, abilities, groupings and specifications.
