What do teachers say about this resource? (3001)
Excellent! It was very comprehensive and compact. Beautifully presented and logically (and chronologically) constructed. A "spot-on" match to the AQA A Literature specfication!
Excellent and useful. It matches the AQA A Literature syllabus, interprets the syllabus sensibly, and is well balanced.
Comprehensive and accessible... There is nothing like this available on the market at the moment.
This resource would definitely enhance students' understanding of, and involvement with, war poetry. It is bound to be gratefully received by students and teachers alike. The commentaries on the poems offer interesting technical and contextual information... the questions move students' thinking into considering the impact of those technical choices made by the poets in making meaning. [The resource matches the specification] really well... the essay titles very much reflect the kind of thing students would encounter in assessment. Students' learning is structured and supported by the tasks placed at the end of small sections. The questions on the worksheets clearly guide students' thoughts about the individual poems and leads them to draw comparisons between them.
The pitch and the depth are spot-on, and your writer is obviously a stickler for accuracy.
Very good informative package... Good value for money. Clear focus upon criteria for the assessment... Will make a very good revision package.
The resource has very useful commentaries and is thorough; groupings/comparisons make useful starting points for development by teachers/students; templates/worksheets are very helpful and will save teachers time.
I liked the thoroughness. The writer has provided very good quality commentaries on a great number of poems. The organisation of the material is also good, with activities neatly summarising and consolidating learning... The worksheets usefully focus reading on key aspects and the resource also implicitly offers a model in terms of methodology for analysing the poems. Information at the end of the resource encourages wider reading and autonomous learning.
[The presentation and layout are] very straightforward... exactly what is required, especially for teachers presenting this unit for the first time. I am always on the lookout for poetry which is slightly less well known than the canonical poems, especially to extend the gifted and talented. I could foresee using this resource to great effect to this end.
