What do teachers say about this resource? (6904)
An excellent resource... It is great to see suggestions for further reading, clearly emphasising that although it is a set text, literature is best studied in a contextualised way, and is there to be enjoyed... The resource is thorough and, unlike a lot of study guides, really goes into detail – it is possible to get a good, rather than an average, grade if you follow this.
I really liked the resource and found it a pleasure to read. It is effectively sequenced and structured to help students break up their revision into appropriate chunks of information... My students would find it extremely beneficial for their revision... This resource is thorough and detailed, and pitched at a level that is particularly suitable for more-able students and extending the learning beyond the classroom. It effectively references the text and provides broader contextual factors and lists advanced terminology to support the subject-specific terminology aspect of the new GCSEs and higher aspects of the marking criteria.
Very good and detailed, easy to read, well summarised. Each chapter summarised for bite size revision. Includes mind maps, table summaries...
