Three structured steps to build success:

What do teachers say about this resource? (7588)

I loved this from the first page! In a school year that crushes the time we have to teach texts fully, the scene and character summaries are a fantastic support to pupils. The focus on exactly what WJEC is looking for is of enormous benefit. It means I don’t have to adapt or redirect the resource. The resource is also suitable for a range of abilities – extension tasks help to stretch the stronger ones, while other tasks are clearly designed to support less-able learners.

S Owen, HoD & Peer Reviewer

An excellent resource. The contents were thorough... The student specification was user friendly... The essay frames and context questions were also welcome... It enhances learning by providing extension questions and numerous exam style questions... .Its educational value is enhanced by the student self assessment sheets giving them ownership of their work... By following the worked through example and doing the planning activities suggested [students] can achieve a greater understanding of what the examiners are looking for... The presentation/layout were exemplary... Matches the specification very well... I would definitely buy this

L Ashley, HoD & Peer Reviewer

This is a very interesting resource with valuable, practical revision help for students... It skilfully covers all the demands of the new specification... I consider this an excellent teaching and revision tool... the detailed guidance given for the bank of extract and essay questions is invaluable.

E Hewitt, HoD and Peer Reviewer

The resource was extremely comprehensive and tracked the questions generally asked by the WJEC e.g. theme or character.

The resource was set out like a very good revision guide. It started effectively with knowledge based learning e.g. content and themes. And then went into exam technique.

in terms of knowledge it is excellent,

An impressively organised and developed variety of activities, ordered in a way that will help students build on their knowledge and understanding of the text. This will inevitably increase their confidence in their abilities in writing about the text to satisfy the exam board’s assessment objectives... Sample student essay activities are very comprehensive and will be valuable in demonstrating to students how to develop their own writing... This [resource] would hugely enhance my teaching and therefore the learning of my students. I am very impressed with the standard of this guide.
