What do teachers say about this resource? (1257)
Definitely a useful resource... It covers a variety of aspects of the text... It has saved me preparation time... You have it all in one resource... This resource provides numerous activities that work well with students.
A wide-ranging, very comprehensive and thoughtful resource, which can be adapted in all sorts of ways. Content is very high quality... with a range of activities, including those to meet demands of the higher achieving student. All the AOs are covered. There is especially good, clear, extra material addressing AO3, encouraging students to make links and comparisons between the texts in a section on comparative texts – this creates very good starting points, especially for Edexcel. Activities and questions are varied and suitable for shorter and longer tasks... Some encourage independent thinking and research, others are more focussed in scope and depend upon more specific reading or replying to narrow questions to build knowledge of the text, and comprehension of each part of the novel. A good range of activities for both learning and revision.
It has taken away a lot of lesson prep! Also provides useful starting points to other sources and ideas... Cut my planning time immensely.... the packs are affordable, provide great starting points for seminars and further reading and enable students to keep clear, useful notes.
A good overview of the novel and its key themes, as well as its context. Clear and easily used comprehension questions to check understanding and prompt memory of each part of the text. Useful contextual information to help pupils consolidate their understanding of Shelley... There is lots here of use.
