What do teachers say about this resource? (8420)
It's perfect for the essay paper of the exam and there is not much more a teacher would need to teach this piece of literature. It's a great resource, thoroughly thought out and in superb order: activities which range from before reading the book, then chapter by chapter with a variety of exercises, followed by exam essay title examples. There is a huge amount of tasks which vary from true/false activities to research as well as activities in class in pairs and groups.
It’s really good. It provides thorough coverage of all the themes in the book. It is very helpful as there are no other resources on ‘Zonenkinder’
I particularly like this resource because it gives the pupils meaningful, step by step tasks to help them build up their comprehension and written skills.
It helps my students to build up vocabulary knowledge and writing skills. Encourages them to do research independently.
That the resources covers all the themes that AQA might use for the final exam. It’s very helpful.
