What do teachers say about this resource? (12499)
A very good resource that takes you through the novel chapter by chapter. It begins with activities on the context of 1920s America to give students an idea of how the themes are relevant... There is a 'whole book' section that covers themes, authors use of language, settings, critical reception and form and structure... I like the way it is laid out so as to minimise planning... It will be a huge time saver... It enhances the learning because it gives an overall view of the novel and provides in depth activity on each chapter. It also allows students to begin making connections and comparisons to other novels and provides extracts - essentially the teacher has very little preparation to do. The activities also allow students to use their cross-curricular knowledge of historical events (WW1) and sociological themes such as American attitudes from the 1920s... Clear to use.
