What do teachers say about this resource? (7622)
A good, thorough ... focused resource on Plath's poetry and relevant context/criticism. It offered a level appropriate for pupils studying this text as part of their A Level with helpful activities and questions to structure further support and study. I really liked the thoughtful activities and questions that were provided alongside the analysis of each of the poems and the way in which they were firmly pointed towards comparison of Plath with Hughes. These activities would act as really good extension ideas [as well as] promoting independent study.
