What do teachers say about this resource? (7047)
A thorough and well-structured resource. It allows pupils to work through the text and the workbook to develop clear understanding of the text, its genre and its context... I really like the AO keys at the top of each task. It helps both pupil and teacher to understand the focus of the task. The resource makes good use of clips from YouTube, and use of social media helps the resource to feel current (Instagram, tweets)... The resource systematically introduces pupils to the appropriate terminology and explains it clearly.
The author clearly knows the text and the exam really well and the pack would be very useful to teach with.
