This scheme delivers a brilliant balance of historical context, persuasive language techniques, and dramatic tension. My Year 9 class were completely engaged, especially with the focus on speeches and manipulation. The resources are high quality, clear to follow, and encourage thoughtful analysis. An excellent foundation for GCSE study – highly recommended!
