What do teachers say about this resource? (7531)
An excellent resource... works well as a teaching guide, but can also be transformed into a student workbook. It is quite thorough and varied, which ensures that exploring the anthology does not become a repetitive and monotonous task... The 'During reading' sections are very good at enabling students to work through a poem independently and then feed back to add detail. I like the way it gradually introduces more detail and more independence in analysing poems. The grids to break down analysis and analyse ideas / quotes / language features are excellent. I especially like the inclusion of a comparison grid at the back.
