What do teachers say about this resource? (7934)
Excellent, detailed and thorough, but still accessible to a range of abilities. I particularly like this resource because the quotation guide tables are quick, easy snapshots, whilst the character analyses offer students highlighting opportunities... In the revision stage of the term, this gives me a checklist, and the students can both confirm and develop their knowledge. This can double as a scheme of work and can easily be dipped into for handouts.
Very detailed... Works well as a teaching guide as well as a revision guide. The 'pupil-speak' of the AOs is very useful and concise, as is the context section, which students sometimes struggle with... The close analysis of each act is excellent as it's so thorough... Good variety of discussion points and questions... The resource covers the text in detail, which can be used to develop independent opinions and evaluation. The resource is flexible to be used for whole-class and small-group activities which develop analysis and terminology.
