Some great tasks at times here, but lots of gaps missing between lessons on the slides or lessons seem to be simply a spelling test. I didn't expect to have to create content for the price of this resource. I also agree with the previous review, there are 6 lessons of no content at all, other than reading the play. Wish I'd read the reviews before buying!
Although there are some impressive resources and tasks within the PowerPoint, I am disappointed that the first 6 lessons are solely reading and discussions. For a £10 scheme of work I would have expected more comprehensive lessons.
Comprehensive SOW that can easily be adapted for other exam boards.
