What do teachers say about this resource? (1562)

Excellent, with thorough guidance and knowledge of the play. I liked the plot, language analysis and dramatic impact with examples. It enables teachers to study the plot of the play with specific references to the Assessment Objectives... [which] are clearly stated and adhered to, with worksheets to ensure that targets are met. A detailed resource... very useful for teaching Romeo and Juliet.

An excellent source of support and extended study. The resource is so thorough and precise that it allows teachers to select the key scenes or specific characters they want to focus on in detail... Allows the teacher to ensure they cover all aspects of the text. Each scene has plot, context, analysis of language, and dramatic impact where necessary. The range [of activities] gives pupils of all abilities a chance to engage with the material.
