Great resource and guide to teach Crónica de una muerte anunciada throughout! I love the way it is divided into sections with different activities. Especially the before reading activities, which are designed in a similar style to those of the reading exam, which is great to keep developing subject-specific skills while they study the literary text. The questions for each chapter in particular, are very useful for students to refer back to and remember what happens in the novel.

Very useful as a basis for working on the novel, with many practical analysis and linguistic exercises. Clear and simple, an excellent starting point for class and individual work with clearly worked example answers and sample essays.

Students can better understand the characters, historical context and the author. It will help students to develop ideas for writing their essays. From the teacher's point of view, it saves a lot of preparation time and students can use it independently.
