What do teachers say about this resource? (12691)

A detailed resource that covers all 18 poems in the Anthology... There is a detailed analysis of each poem and questions that cover basic comprehension but also encourage deeper thinking. In this sense it has everything you need to cover the course with classes of all abilities... The visual overviews are a great resource on their own as they present all the information on each poem in one place... The deeper thinking questions not only allow for deeper analysis but encourage students to consider methods which is something that my students often forget to comment on... This [resource] is great in many ways: it is a comprehensive course for the first study of the Anthology , but it also acts as great revision tool for revising in Year 11. For a new teacher, or someone new to these poems, this would allow them to teach with confidence the material that they may not be familiar with... Well done to the author. It is very thorough.
