What do teachers say about this resource? (6819)

A really great resource pack which clearly and helpfully covers the demands of the exam and the AOs... I like the way it is set out, with detailed notes on each poem followed by contextual notes. The notes are thorough and contain challenging ideas and concepts to stretch higher ability students... I like the fact that ... there is helpful guidance for teachers on the demands of the exam and the exercises students have completed.
