What do teachers say about this resource? (3801)

It's a brilliant resource with a fabulous variety of activities to challenge and engage students of all levels. I like it a lot! I like the fact that the resource could be used equally as an individual resource for students to work through (or for teachers to set as cover work!) and as a class work book. It's great and is clearly written by someone who knows the play well. The content of the resource matches the new GCSE specifications successfully [and is] also useful as a drama resource... It's lovely!

Recommended! An excellently planned resource. I really like the way that the resource is split into acts, and then the content is divided into easily searchable activities, focus sections and AfL Stop & Think pages. The titles of the focus pages are interesting and thoughtful... The answers section is particularly helpful for teachers new to the text, or in need of a new angle to their teaching.
