What do teachers say about this resource? (10937)
It is well done - I like the separations between chapters... and further analysis later on regarding themes/language/characters. It's well organized! Varied activities. I like the study of the characters chapter a lot.
La Sombra del Viento is a really difficult book for A-level students and I am sure this would help them to have a good overview of this book. Since it has answers at the end it would allow pupils to work through it independently.
