What do teachers say about this resource? (10499)

The resource is very thorough, and an easy knowledge organiser for the students... I like the copies with missing gaps, so students can actively process the information... I will be using it as a revision tool, and a complementary set of notes... It is concise and visual.

S Smith, Customer & Teacher

Fulfills it's intent of condensing valuable information into manageable, bitesized pieces of information for each theory well and does it in student friendly language. I like the fact it covers contextual information regarding the theories as to their origins as well, ensuring they have clear understanding. It would enhance learning as they could be used as a quick reference guide for students to consider applying theories to texts. I think it would also enhance learning as it helps to provide key information in manageable way and makes it a suitable revision resource for students to use in away that best suits them. It has good educational value as it can be used by both a teacher to guide students through a theory or as an independent learning tool to enhance their knowledge further or to revise key elements from. I like that the layout for each of the mindmaps is different with an appropriate amount of 'white space' between sections so as to not overload the page and that each section on the page is either boxed off or separated from other aspects too. As this resource is suited across the different board based on the theories that are to be applied to different case studies, I feel it is a useful revision tool, covering the necessary theorists in a succinct manner.
