What do teachers say about this resource? (6559)
A really useful guide which will certainly save teachers a lot of time, and enhance students' understanding of this fantastic novel. Many thanks for letting me review it. I think that it is a very well laid out resource and in my opinion the resource allows students a degree of independence in their work, with a few research activities, which is an important consideration at A Level in this new specification. Also it is good to see different questions for both AS and A2, taking into account the new specs.
The resource offers an exhaustive and thorough work on vocabulary, expressions and literary devices, and a great insight into the Realismo Mágico literary current. (...) Full of interesting activities and ideas.
This would help to prepare candidates for their examinations with confidence and knowledge. With the improvements suggested and some changes after being reviewed, I would definitely purchase this comprehensive resource for the classroom and I would recommend colleagues to do so.
