What do teachers say about this resource? (7207)

An excellent resource... All three works are covered comprehensively in terms of background and analysis. Analysis is extremely thorough, with a wealth of information about all elements. Useful comparisons of the three pieces. Exam practice content is thorough and I particularly like seeing examples of marked essay questions. Lots of useful examples for aural practice and some excellent ideas for how students can overlap this work with performance and composition elements. The resource fits the specification extremely well.

The resource provides the students with more than sufficient information to enable students to fully understand the expectations and demands of the examination. The aural skills and compositional activities are particularly useful for practice and building those specific skills required for the examination. This is a great resource.

There is a huge amount of detail and there are loads of ideas for planning and revision.
