What do teachers say about this resource? (1628)
This would be an extremely valuable resource for any teacher preparing to teach Twelfth Night for the new GCSE Lit specifications. Very thorough and detailed... Enables students to engage with key scenes in the play, as well as the whole text, in a structured and engaging way. I particularly liked how the AOs were tracked and signposted next to each activity. Would I purchase this resource for my teaching? Yes, absolutely. It would be extremely useful. E Plumpton, HoD & Peer Reviewer
A well-focused resource that is presented well so that teachers can simply pick up a resource/lesson and run with it. The worksheets are visually exciting and use pupil-friendly language... This resource is clearly focused on enhancing learning. It has an examination focus and breaks down some of the fear that is within the profession about how we can make students exam ready and make [the text] accessible and fun for all... The exam-related activities are particularly strong, and will start to focus students straight away on what they are being asked to do. R Goulds, HoD and Independent Reviewer
