What do teachers say about this resource? (3805)

Absolutely superb. Very detailed and it really breaks the novel down so it is an accessible resource for both teachers and students. [I particularly like] the clear links to the new specs for GCSE. Also how it discusses the minute details of the book, i.e. language analysis, PEE approach, etc... It is written in an informal way so it appears supportive to students. This resource comprehensively and intelligently deals with a novel which can be at first quite hard to analyse in terms of GCSE regulations. It allows pupils to slowly build their understanding of the characters and key themes of the book... Very useful for a busy English teacher... This is very impressive – well researched.

L Reynolds, HoD & Peer Reviewer

Excellent. A great resource; clear and focused. It helps [my students] with revision.

H Kelly, English Teacher & Customer

Excellent and detailed resource pack... Liked the character summaries then expansion on character detail as this could help teachers to differentiate work. Narrative stance is excellent and features of language on how to PEE... It would help the student to gain an insight into the novel so that he/she can respond effectively in an exam or on controlled assessment... S Fallon, Independent Reviewer
