What do teachers say about this resource? (7096)
An extremely comprehensive resource as there is a relative scarcity of material such as this on the market. The sections were very clear and useful and the organisation of material excellent... Very useful for wider reading and for the unseen section and guides students to look at the other texts they may not be studying... Each section had useful reflective activities which contain nice ideas to carry out in class... The educational value of this resource for both teachers and students is huge. It gives an excellent grounding in key literary history (something which resources often lack) and the key elements of social and political protest ... Very useful to have exam questions and indicative content at the end of the resource... A fantastic and scarce resource.
Excellent for inviting students to think and make connections between historical events, contexts and texts.
The contextual detail was excellent.
What do teachers say about this resource? (7046)
Excellent... Student-friendly, relevant and detailed. Reflective activities are effective and encourage students to think carefully and critically about the key texts. They also encourage independent research and independent learning. Clever and effective examples from other texts... An informative, detailed and well structured student guide that will be of tremendous benefit to teachers and students alike. I would definitely use this resource.
Some of the student activities were brilliant.
The general overview of the genre is very informative.
A good summary of the exam and overview for teachers is provided.
An excellent resource, entirely suited to the new specification and covers everything that I could think of that my students would need in order to prepare for this examination.
