What do teachers say about this resource? (7515)

An excellent resource... Of all the resources that I have looked at, this would be perfect for students who were struggling with Shakespeare. It's really easy to follow... The focus on genre is excellent and really helps contextualise the play. The activities are well considered and pertinent. I really liked the easy-to-understand explanation of scansion and iambic pentameter. This is something that other resources seem to either lack or go into too much confusing detail over. Super!
