What do teachers say about this resource? (6441, 11062)
I really enjoyed the variety of activities this resource contained... As a teacher, there were so many ideas and activities I could use very easily, with very little or no adaption... The resource is an excellent activity pack to teach the text as a whole. I liked the structure of the resource and the way it gave activities before studying the text, then activities for each Act, and then final activities following the finishing of the teaching of the text. This basic organisation made it very easy for me as a teacher to navigate... All of the activities were worthwhile, clear and targeted at developing the knowledge of the text and its context. There was not a single activity in this resource that was superfluous or not focused on developing knowledge and understanding... The resource meets the specification easily and in great detail. I thought the sheer variety of different activities and the creative approach to looking at the text in more detail was backed by a robust focus on AOs. I particularly felt that certain activities would work well to support pupils that had missed lessons for whatever reason and to help them catch up... This was a resource that stimulated my own creativity as I reviewed it: it gave me lots of ideas that I could use to approach other texts!
Some good tasks... The sample essay is useful... The ‘during reading’ activities are varied... There a clear focus on wider contextual information... A promising resource that is clearly focused on getting students involved in ideas relevant to the play.
