What do teachers say about this resource? (6478)
[Would you purchase this resource for your teaching?] Definitely. The resource guides both the teacher and the student through the book in a structured and methodical way, using a variety of question styles and presentation methods. I feel students of all abilities would benefit from using this resource as it offers a thorough analysis and gives a lot of background information. There are also frequent opportunities for students to think creatively about their own response to the work, expressing and justifying opinions, as well as suggestions for independent research.
The resource probably provides more than is needed to get a top grade at A Level French. It is the best "Getting to know" I have read and reviewed to date, better than many other similar study aids on the market. I wish I had had such a resource when I taught "Un sac de billes
I thought it was excellent. It is so comprehensive that this resource can be used almost exclusively to provide a detailed understanding of the novel. It gave us all that we needed to understand the novel in depth. This resource enabled my students to achieve our best A Level results yet.
