What do teachers say about this resource? (9626)
A very comprehensive resource... The depth of information on themes, language, structure, context and the authorial voice will enable teachers to teach students of all abilities as there are opportunities to adapt the material and differentiate... What I particularly liked was the way in which the key themes and ideas developed scene by scene... What is also good is the fact that the author explores the differences between key characters who are 'paired'... Flexible too as it covers the four main exam boards... I would certainly recommend [this guide].
