What do teachers say about this resource? (12347)
The pack has much to offer... What really works about this resource is the gradation of complexity in terms of task, allowing students to gain confidence before they tackle an essay question. It allows teachers to dip in and out... The range of types of activity is useful as well, and allows for individual, group, and whole class work... The resource allows students to create a good understanding of the novel by relating back to chapters already studied and so highlighting Stoker's use of patterns and repeated stylistics, for example, descriptions of vampires, and use of moonlight... The essay practice questions are very useful to teachers... A helpful resource, both for students studying the novel, and for teachers planning and delivering the course.
