What do teachers say about this resource? (8233)

Well scaffolded to help students develop the skills needed to tackle the question based on a literary extract. I like the sequence of tasks which allows students to slowly get familiar with these type of texts contextualising them within a topic or aiming at practising a specific grammar aspect. Foundation and Higher tier practice questions completely mirror the exam questions.
