What do teachers say about this resource? (9770)

Contains a lot of useful detail and practical info and examples which could be used in lessons or for students’ independent work... Student-friendly... The example essays at the end of the pack are useful and the inclusion of the drama set texts for A Level is particularly helpful... Contextual information is really useful... The introductions to critical readings is helpful... The prompt questions are useful... The resource both supports classroom teaching and independent learning. The inclusion of the essays and suggested content is particularly useful. As a whole, it would be helpful to guide students through the collection and then serve as a revision guide.

This was a useful resource that was comprehensive in terms of its coverage for both AS and A Level. I liked the way that it contained a mixture of whole-text activities and individual activities on particular poems. There was a range of information that related to the relevant Assessment Outcomes.

The plethora of activities made this a particular treasure trove for the time-pressed teacher.

This resource enhances learning by being built around a range of activities that encourage independent learning on the part of the pupil. The educational value of this resource lies in its focus on the Assessment Outcomes and the style of questions that candidates taking OCR A or AS Level English Literature will confront. The majority of the resource was devoted to practice on examination style and technique that I thought was very helpful. There was very good focus on examination technique.
