I thought that the resource was a comprehensive and authoritative study guide to one of the most important German literary works of the last 20 years. It provides students with the chance to study the holistic picture, as well as the text itself, by looking in depth at themes raised. The educational value of the resource is vast.
A real win! Well organised resource. Students found it easy to access yet it still challenged them. It supported my lesson planning nicely. It has helped pupils’ confidence seeing a professional looking resource. The detail and level is appropriate.
Good vocab lists in German which gives students keywords but also makes them do some work by working out the meanings (...) I think that this resource would be extremely helpful for a teacher, especially as it includes the solutions to the questions. A teacher would also be able to pick and choose certain parts and use this resource when planning their scheme of work on Der Vorleser.
Written by experienced teacher who knows the resource well. I particularly liked the fact that it could be used with Y12 or 13 for AS or A2, which made it excellent value for money. Really useful resource to get to grips with plot. The resource eases into the work by through researching the author and background to the novel, and introducing essential vocabulary.
This is a very good resource that will improve students’ grasp of the high level vocabulary needed and help them with a close reading of the text.
