What do teachers say about this resource? (9619)

A very good resource with lots of ideas for teaching the poems and for developing use of linguistic and literary analysis... I particularly like how each poem centres on the A level question foci (voice, setting, relationships etc.) and think the comprehension questions provide lots of ideas for revision... Provides a thorough exploration of each poem.
