Detailed and accurate analyses of the set works. The guide and the tips are very useful and will help students grapple with these works more effectively and efficiently. The tasks provide a range of challenges for students and will help increase their depth of understanding.

The resource is a welcome and much needed package of support material for the target course and students... and could become central to every IB diploma student’s core study in Unit 6. The many different student activities are designed to encourage individual engagement with the works.
