What do teachers say about this resource? (8707)
I loved this resource. I am new to this component and found its text-by-text breakdown an excellent starting point... I particularly liked that each of the frameworks was clearly explored and explained for each text. The terminology list is very useful. [This resource] ensured that my understanding was in line with the exam board's expectations. By linking to the frameworks so closely, I was confident that my messages to the students were appropriate and accurate. The layout was easy to follow and clear... This has saved me hours and hours of planning time!
Really in depth and detailed.
The activity questions are suitable for students to complete independently.
It is nicely presented and easy to access.
It's very detailed - and there are a lack of resources for this spec so it came in very handy!
A comprehensive resource. It includes everything that both a teacher or student would need to know to prepare for the exam. It is the perfect guide to support with the preparing and delivery of this unit. It would also be a great resource for students to use to help consolidate their knowledge and understanding.
This is a solid and valuable resource. For teachers it supports in the planning and delivery of the anthology - giving appropriate contextualisation information, and key analysis. Students would find this really helpful with consolidating knowledge/understanding and for revision purposes.
I really like how images have been included in this resource. I also like the different boxes to break the information up.
This resource links very strongly to the specification and exam board standards. Each section or task has the AO identified which is really helpful for students.
I really like this resource – it’s very useful for students of all abilities and takes a lot of the legwork out of teaching this somewhat daunting text... I like the detailed analysis provided for each extract... This is a fantastic starting point for both teachers and students... The glossary notes within the extract guides and also at the end of the resource are excellent as they challenge more able students as well as support lower ability students. The internet links provided are very useful – a real time saver for teachers... A great resource for a text which is a challenge to teach and keep students engaged.
A very comprehensive overview of the Paris texts - really handy use of linguistic terminology in context, applied to all levels, as related to each text. Especially useful for students who may have missed teaching of particular texts and need an overview... I like the glossaries and focus on key terminology. The analysis of key features of each text is thorough and demonstrates the level of forensic analytical detail needed for this section of the exam.
