Reviews:
I recommend this resource. Really fantastic, useful and relevant content that you could use tomorrow. An excellent range of activities -- covers all areas and skills. ... Really engaging texts and materials - well chosen as they will have relevance
over a number of years. ... Great for sharing in the faculty and therefore
monitoring what is happening in other classrooms in revision. ... I love the podcasts. Their content is relevant and engaging. ... I really like the idea of the revision journey to encourage autonomy in students. ... Great that it would reduce photocopying too. I love the fact that PPTs are ready made.
Natalie Cave, Head of English at Larkmead School, Abingdon, Oxfordshire
Really well structured lessons, with helpful timings,
breaking down the key skills into manageable sections in an appealing and
effective way. Easy to use in sections, according to class needs. ... I think
it's excellent. It really addresses the demands of the new AQA English and
English Language specs. ... the podcasts are a really good idea ... I also think
they're a good length, and engaging - very entertaining (but
educational too!)... The PowerPoints (PP) are used very well. They'd be excellent
for stimulus and back-up. The 'Are you feeling brave?' challenges are
excellent. Presenting questions on one slide, then answers on the next, is
simple but effective.
Steve Eddy, English teacher, Monmouth School
