What do teachers say about this resource? (7214, 11175)

It is very detailed and informative and would certainly ensure pupils understood the play. The use of language is mostly 'teenage friendly' and would be an excellent tool for revision as well as to use while working on the text for the first time.

The character summaries are good and I like the variety of tasks and use of the debate.
