What do teachers say about this resource? (5460)
Content is great: apt, perceptive, fluent and knowledgeable. Activities are excellent: imaginative, clear and varied... Contains analysis which is sufficiently detailed and insightful to provide teachers with useful material, and to stretch and challenge students, but written very clearly and in appropriate register.
