An excellent resource - very detailed, and content is thoughtfully structured.

Great way to encourage an active reading from students, and will bring interesting questions to the classroom. Detailed breadth of activities. Close focus on AOs. Very focused and clear. Great range of activities and further reading, as well as key information throughout. Links closely to exam questions. Clear layout. Logical progression through play. Be great to have stills from productions over time - different sets, costumes, key scenes. Very comprehensive. Focuses on needs of a breadth of exam boards. Very detailed - good links to AOs. Well-structured.
Highly effective and thorough... Particularly the high-quality scene overviews with activities at the start; this is good prep’ for covering the play in detail via essay questions. Good critical reactions dealt with later on... Key terms are comprehensive and essential focus on the necessary terms without overdoing it... [The whole-text section] is where the package really comes into its own and is thoroughly good value to the teacher... The flipped learning aspect has been well accommodated... A thoroughly well written and well researched package for the Hamlet teacher at A level. Totally recommended.
