What do teachers say about this resource? (7537)

This is an outstanding revision resource and it is exactly what I have been looking for... I cannot praise it enough. It is highly detailed and focused very firmly on the requirements of the Edexcel specification. It tackles each of the poems in the cluster in great depth and makes explicit links with other poems.

L Morris, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

This is an amazing resource, which will support and aid both teachers and students... The analysis covers language, structure and form and includes terminology that will help students achieve those top grades.

K Jagger, English Teacher & Peer Reviewer

It provides a welcome introduction to the poetry, spans the whole collection and provides useful context to link to the poetry discussion. It is very easy to follow. I thought the contextual references were extremely useful and would save a teacher/pupil a lot of research time.
