What do teachers have to say about this resource? (1419)
“A very good resource... Very student and teacher friendly. It would clearly enhance learning - there are many tasks for each scene/act, and key characters are unpicked and explored in more depth. Planning activities are extremely focused on the new GCSE specifications... students would get a lot from these and they have been well scaffolded to support lower ability groups. I really liked the “extend your knowledge” elements.” - R Goulds, Head of English and Independent Reviewer
“It’s terrific. Not sure I could improve it! This resource is useful for the full range of candidates. The tasks cover the full range of skills. Worksheets are differentiated to support all pupils’ abilities... How great are the SPaG tasks? Answer: very great! They tie in with the new specs, including WJEC where pupils are asked to proofread and correct mistakes... It’s a very thorough resource.” - S Owen, Second in English Department and Independent Reviewer
