What do teachers say about this resource? (6408)

The resource was incredibly useful and offered excellent analysis of the text. It would prove particularly useful for a teacher who is relatively unfamiliar with Malfi as it is very comprehensive... I particularly liked the detailed scene-by-scene analysis, which covered so much material. I also like the way key characters and themes were analysed chronologically, and yet there were also detailed, summative evaluations of these at the end of the resource, taking into account the whole play... This resource is of great educational value because of its academic evaluation of plot/character/theme...

There is much that is very useful about this resource, particularly the scene-by-scene exploration of characters, themes, and language, and the contextual information.
The key terminology in boxes is particularly useful and would be useful as a way into each scene through the language itself.
This resource enhances learning because it provides a very comprehensive and detailed overview of the themes and characters of the play and how they are presented in each scene. The contextual readings of the play would be particularly useful for students.
The suggested debate prompts and active learning activities are well thought out and would allow for high quality, deep learning.
