This resource is a real gem for A-Level Literature teachers. The lessons are intellectually ambitious yet clearly structured, with brilliant integration of AO5 and critical theory. My students particularly enjoyed the Socratic seminars and debates, which deepened their understanding of character and context. The model essays and redrafting scaffolds have been game-changers for improving written responses. Highly recommended!
