What do teachers say about this resource? (10882)
An excellent resource which would be very beneficial to both my Yr 12 and Yr 13 students. It contained many useful sections which seemed easy to travel between and were chock full of information.
I particularly enjoyed the example response section as I feel students will appreciate the typed responses. I also liked the handy tips for the exam.
The best thing that this resource does is provide autonomy for the students. They are given apt support but not all of the information is included for them. This means that they have to think and actively learn rather than just expect to be spoon-fed.
I feel like this is very well suited to the specification and really encourages students to think in a manner which gains them marks within the exam. It is clear the writer has valid working experience of guiding students regarding this content.
All round a great and insightful pack.
A helpful and detailed revision pack, which guides students through forming a personal and analytical response to The Handmaid’s Tale.
It provides a springboard for more-able students to further their revision, whilst also supporting weaker students in formulating a coherent response in the Edexcel Prose Exam.
Useful activities which enable students to take responsibility for their revision.
The focus on “hitting” the assessment objectives through both the indicative content for answers and the example essays later in the booklet was beneficial.
As the resource is tailored to the Edexcel Prose Exam, it has high educational value.
The answers section at the end of the pack enables any self-assessment to be purposeful and provides direction to revision.
This is a detailed and informative resource which guides students through the process of revision for exams. Through providing example content and example essays, it provides a framework for revision
A very useful pack.
