Informative and accessible... The resource’s content is thorough. I really like the resource pack’s use of specific live theatre production examples... An easy pack to work through. Short but relevant text/script examples and images to demonstrate information and meaning to learners... Contains a variety of tasks to engage and challenge the learner... Appropriate and engaging website links provided. Extension activities included to promote further learning. Example question and answers / essay templates are beneficial for learners and are appropriate to the specification. Answers and Teachers notes are very useful – makes the resource highly valuable to a NQT teaching costume, hair and make-up design... A good match to the specification... A really useful resource.
