What do teachers say about this resource? (7411)

An excellent resource... Very detailed and provides focused questions which extend learning... The layout is brilliant. The resources comprises double-sided cards with clear titles. It is easy to find exactly what you are looking for within the resources... I like the way that it is set out in easy-to-follow cards... It helps students to link their revision to the exam questions with the required amount of detail. The depth of detail is much more than many of the revision resources I have encountered so far. Unlike many revision resources, it does not skim/outline the key themes and characters but rather it covers them in detail.

L Morris, HoD & Peer Reviewer

An excellent resource which would help learning and understanding of Macbeth ... and how to use supportive evidence in order to answer an essay question... Focuses on the assessment objectives and shows clearly which aspects of the play need to be analysed to score highly in each objective... I liked the versatility of the cards, which could be used as a game or peer sharing and questioning, or simply as revision guides... Easy to adapt according to group size and purpose of the lesson.

S & S Fallon, English Tutors & Peer Reviewers

Very useful indeed as a starting point for weaker ability students... The character cards were particularly useful as they break down key elements of personality and motivation...

D Corns, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

A very comprehensive set of revision materials ... geared towards encouraging students to engage with the various aspects of the specification and the various potential question areas which could arise. They represent an incredible amount of information in one place... A gift for a student who needs to pick up a text that they studied long ago. It is a full crash course in Macbeth and gives them everything that they need to feel confident going into their exam.

K Chanter, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

This is an extremely comprehensive and detailed series of revision cards which could also be used by classes and students within a taught scheme of work. All aspects of the text are covered, and students are provided with key learning points on each card... There is excellent coverage of all four exam board assessment objectives... The double-sided nature of the cards makes it a great resource for teacher and/or individual learner.

L Loxton, Educational Consultant & Peer Reviewer

A useful resource that will support students in revising this play. The resource is highly detailed and provides a high level of challenge for students aiming for a Grade 7 or higher... With the new exams being 100% exam based and closed book, it is essential that students get into good revision habits. This will allow teachers to provide these revision materials without excessive work.
