What do teachers say about this resource? (9060)
Excellent – Just what I needed for this new specification. I would highly recommend it as it encompasses all areas of the topics in detail. A variety of resources and materials which engaged pupils. Some activities can be completed independently – excellent homework!
On the whole I think that it is a superb resource as it offers lots of relevant exercises and texts-video links related to some of the history themes within the Spanish A level specification.
Very thorough and engaging set of resources to support teaching this topic. extremely useful.
I like the wide variety of resources both in the pack itself and the support materials. The coverage of all areas of the topic is very thorough with a variety of activities to support students' learning both of the relevant language and the issues to be discussed.
It provides many texts to ensure understanding of the topic from a wide range of sources and registers. Independent listening is included that is very relevant.
Will save hours of preparation time.
A welcomed resource for the A level Spanish teaching community. A teacher unsure about this part of the spec could actually work through this resource to improve their own subject knowledge! [...] It broadens student knowledge of topics to increase their ability to provide in-depth answers. Students can stretch for higher grades through working with more challenging and topic specific vocabulary.
I found it very useful with lots of information which I had not seen before in any other resource. I particularly like this resource because it included a variety of sources/a variety of tasks and opportunity for students to have a broad knowledge of the topic.
It covers all you need to teach about this period of Spanish history.
It was very clear and well structured. The exercises were very well pitched to different abilities. Better than textbooks as you can pick other issues not covered in the book.
