What do teachers say about this resource? (6626)
The educational value of this is immense in my opinion. It is a very important and very unusual piece of German literature and I feel it has a real place in the teaching of any literature component for German. I teach AQA AS and A2 German as well as IB German A and B. This resource meets my specifications very well and also takes into account the different requirements for other exam boards.
This is a useful resource which makes a complex, multi-layered work rather more accessible to today’s students of AS/A2 German, as it uses a bite-size, cumulative approach as a way into the work. [...] The resource also supports the process of vocabulary assimilation through a range of exercises and question types which students should find approachable and provides opportunities to develop high level grammar skills within the context of literary criticism.
Useful resource for independent work and good variety of exercises covering all aspects of text.
