What do teachers say about this resource? (5347)
A perfectly pitched resource... This resource is well constructed with both indifferent and enthusiastic weaker learners in mind. It includes a lot to boost students to the next level without being overwhelming or inaccessible... The creative tasks are really well thought through, giving students a chance to enhance their vocabulary and think critically as well as doing something led by imagination. The Student Assessment Objectives Guide (SAOG) was an excellent touch, particularly with the checklist of activities and how pupils are learning. If this resource hasn't prepared them for exam practice and developed answers, I don't know what will. E Evans, English Teacher and Ind. Reviewer
I really like the range of tasks and activities, which include independent and group work. The resource is very clear and well explained, which makes it very well [suited] to low-ability groups... The tasks are fun and engaging... I really like how the AOs are explained to students... The mind maps will be invaluable to visual learners too.
