What do teachers say about this resource? (2946)

I think this resource is fantastic. A huge library of information that I can use! A comprehensive, wide-ranging resource that meets all assessment objectives... An invaluable resource that "works" on many levels.

G Chisholm, Teacher & Customer

Absolutely fantastic! This is really well put together and informative. The level of detail is so comprehensive... The sheer level of detail is impressive.

S Alsop, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Excellent. An extensive, highly-impressive and meticulously-researched piece of work which covers every conceivable angle on First World War poetry. Very thorough. I particularly liked the amount of insightful and detailed commentary notes with the poems

K Bridges, HoD & Peer Reviewer

I liked this very much as it suits AS studies very well. There was a clear explanation of each poem leaving the student to interpret such things as attitude which is vital in promoting independent thinking. I would put it on the shared area at school and set it as reading. The activities are effective preparation for the kind of comparative approach required in the final paper. I liked the straightforward approach which provides a very good resource for teachers and students without simplifying it or focusing on technique without meaning. I liked the contemporary photographs and sketches. I liked the URL references which will enable independent research by the students. It will be supportive for teachers and students, particularly as preparation for lessons. Anything that supports and promotes independent thinking is essential for AS and A2 and this certainly does that. I think it matches the specification very well indeed.

C Allison, Senior Examiner & Peer Reviewer

High quality. It covers all poems in some detail, providing relevant contextual details and good ideas for poetry comparisons. The consistent approach to the poems and sections of the text make it very easy to use. The websites for each poem are aptly selected and do not overload the teacher or student. I like the fact that all poems are covered without an obvious bias to the well-known poets and/or poems.

J Malt, HoD & Peer Reviewer

Excellent poem by poem, plus good resources on sections to allow students to compare poems as needed for the exams... Each poem has clear plot summery and discussion of techniques used.

B Privett, HoD & Customer

Extremely useful, and very thorough... I particularly like this resource because: it is very detailed and has included worksheets and example exam questions... It does all the work for you!

J Fitzpatrick, Teacher & Customer

I am delighted with this resource! Comprehensive in depth and scope with some really interesting pieces of background information.
