D Soltysik, Head of Media and English & Peer Reviewer

Good... Pitched just right for A Level learning a new text... Handled some complex contexts, character interactions and plot twists very well... It is an introduction to teaching this particular play from scratch, which would enable students to be guided by teachers to work through what is a lengthy and substantial text. It fills a gap in the learning materials for set texts and has an educational value in being a beginning, a starter. It is particularly effective if students are not familiar with Shakespeare’s tragedies.
