What do teachers say about this resource? (2941)

I am impressed with this resource; it is very user friendly and clearly expressed, accessible for staff and students. It is structured coherently and is a thorough analysis of The Rover and the context. Much of it could be photocopied for students and this would be very valuable if students missed lessons. I like the way that there are close links between the text and the context. All the information is relevant and I really like the written style. It is exactly the way I teach my students to write! The questions at the end are useful, raising subtle areas for discussion, and I think the reading list is excellent and particularly valuable. It would also be good as a first resource for teachers new to the text. Another very practical, insightful resource which will save a lot of time for staff preparing this module. Thank you!
