What do teachers say about this resource? (10844, 12026)
An excellent resource. There was an emphasis on AOs and the key terms and original illustrations were welcome... I particularly liked the balance between debate, active tasks and essay questions... This would enhance learning by providing a clear way through the text... User friendly... Matches the specification well... The glossary and detailed answers are the icing on the cake.
Really great. Very comprehensive notes which illuminate the text and are very useful for someone who is picking up the text to teach for the first time… The scene by scene commentaries were very useful. The key quotations will come in very handy and it was also useful to have the comments on the quotes. This will allow teacher to highlight key quotes for themselves quickly and easily.
The resource is remarkably detailed... I liked the AOs translated into ‘pupil speak’ – handy! The study of the text as a play is focused and effective. The two sections on PEE and PEE revision were very good, providing structure for weaker pupils and development of style for the stronger candidates. The tasks sprinkled through the early context and background section are a great way to get the pupils engaged with the text. I especially liked the web link to the ‘Paper Doll’ lyrics – what a great idea!
A comprehensive and thorough study pack... I particularly liked the detailed introduction.
