'I particularly liked the clear focus on assessment objectives, with clear activities for the students. Plot summaries were also good and time saving for teachers and students alike. Character work sheets were good. Good focus on imagery and symbolism. Particularly well suited to the new AQA specification. Easily accessible and understandable.
