What do teachers say about this resource? (7688)

A really useful resource for students who have read the novel and are preparing to take the AQA English literature exam. There were a lot of activities and lots of exam skills with focus on the AOs. I really liked the key terms activity, with space to place relevant quotes – an excellent revision activity. Also the key extracts with guided questions was a very good activity with links to AOs – great for exam practice... Very useful for revision and looking at the example essays was particularly valuable.

R Smart, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Highly useful for KS3 and for preparing students for KS4. All of the activities appear to be highly engaging and a lot of fun. I would definitely enjoy doing the activities! Also, there is a wide variety of activities, such as role play, creative writing, grammar and peer feedback. The SOW is very thorough and provides plenty of active learning activities. The Powerpoints have excellent starters and plenaries and are carefully scaffolded from one lesson to the next. I think the scaffolding is especially useful for learning because it gives students the opportunity to develop key skills (such as descriptive writing) in more depth.

T Gladwin, Teacher and Independent Reviewer

Easy to follow for teachers and engaging... I like that there is a series of PowerPoints to go with the lessons as it saves teachers time having to create their own... The resources cover quotation analysis, inference skills and writing, which link to the new GCSEs so this could be used as a Modern Text preparation unit for GCSE.

A Wellard, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

A really decent resource! This resource will help students to be able to write in a number of different ways in preparation for GCSE English Language.
