It will be a lifesaver when we transfer over to the new texts! I think it's a thorough unit of work, covering just about everything I would want to teach on the topic. The translations from Latin to English are easy to understand, the exam-style questions feel like they come from an exam paper and the glossary will be very useful for students. I liked the number of exercises for each covered extract. I felt that there were enough to give a thorough understanding, but not too many that it was overwhelming.
On the whole I thought this was an excellent resource. It was up to date with examiners’ reports and quoted useful reference books but was not too dry as to put off those who might struggle with the set texts. It thus walked the tightrope of differentiation very successfully.
It enhances learning by providing sufficient, but not excessive material, so students can gain confidence. Its educational value is to fill a gap in the market for a new selection of set texts,and the introduction for teachers, being so informative, will save them much time, and allow them to draw the best out of their pupils, whatever their ability.
I would definitely purchase this resource.
