An excellent resource. It is extremely detailed and thorough... this resource covers all the key aspects that any teacher teaching at IB Literature at DP would require. The inclusion of context and its significance is very important for IB. The inclusion of excellent guiding questions and discussion questions can be used for excellent preparation for the individual oral commentary.
This resource not only improved my knowledge of Blake’s style of writing but also gave me valuable information that made me understand the poems in deeper depth. I believe the resource is an exciting piece of writing, and very suitable for IB learners. Discussion questions are well presented to provide opportunity for active discussion and profound reflection in the classroom. This is achieved through the use of well-chosen extracts, reflective comments, and guiding questions. It challenges both lower and higher able students through graduated questions and carefully stretched questions.
