What do teachers say about this resource? (9771)
Well-researched... Gave much useful information about the text and what happens during the course of the play. It was helpfully broken down into a walkthrough of the scenes and action which made it easy to follow and helped trace the plot of the play... I particularly liked the Active Learning Tasks: there were a number of different activities designed to help students interact with the text and consolidate their knowledge... The educational value of this resource lies in its consolidation of the text: sitting alongside a teaching unit, this would give perfect support and differentiation to pupils to allow them to go back over particular sections, teach themselves certain sections, and further develop their knowledge of the text. This is the kind of resource that parents often ask me to provide for their children to help and support their study.
