What do teachers say about this resource? (3685)

Really great. Very comprehensive notes which illuminate the text and are very useful for someone who is picking up the text to teach for the first time.

The scene by scene commentaries were very useful. The key quotations will come in very handy and it was also useful to have the comments on the quotes. This will allow teacher to highlight key quotes for themselves quickly and easily.

A comprehensive and thorough study pack... I particularly liked the detailed introduction and the focus on the different exam specifications.

J Sallabank, English Teacher, Independent Reviewer (GCSE Edition)

The resource is remarkably detailed... I liked the AOs translated into 'pupil speak' – handy! The study of the text as a play is focused and effective. The two sections on PEE and PEE revision were very good, providing structure for weaker pupils and development of style for the stronger candidates. The tasks sprinkled through the early context and background section are a great way to get the pupils engaged with the text. I especially liked the web link to the 'Paper Doll' lyrics – what a great idea!
