What do teachers have to say about this resource? (6872)
It is a very comprehensive resource with lesson materials and suggestions for further exploitation. It also provides answers to the exercises, which is good for peer assessment and a very welcome Teacher aid for marking. There are many ideas which the students can explore more independently, which is a bonus for preparation of writing tasks which promote individual responses rather than all students reproducing the same material. The students start to watch the film completely understanding the context, vocabulary they will hear and the historical importance and significance.
