John Donne: 'Poetic Voices' Study Guide for A Level AQA (With Recordings)

Specifically written to support the 2015 AQA Language and Literature specification, co-teachable study resources will guide your students through all the prescribed poems for your chosen author. Explore the linguistic and literary methods by which poets present time, place, relationships and events, with in-depth commentary and activities.

What do teachers say about this resource? (9618)

This is a truly fantastic resource and I haven't seen anything else on this aspect of the exam on the market. It is comprehensive, detailed and clearly linked to the specification. It provides teachers with all the information they will need in one place and focuses on the language levels that are so key to this specification. It provides a very valuable scaffold for how to deliver this information and illustrates how to teach students the skills they will need. It is really refreshing to find resources for this specification, but to find them produced to this standard, really is a joy!

A really impressive resource... Could really benefit teachers and students. I would feel confident that using this to inform my teaching would mean that I was covering everything required by the specification. The author has worked really hard to cover all aspects of the curriculum and this is consistent in the resource. The content is challenging and comprehensive.
