Macbeth: A Study Commentary (Student Edition)

(0)
This 156-page resource supports teachers and students working towards A Level, IB and AP examinations. It is a line-by-line analysis of the play at a level, and in a manner, that all senior students will find accessible and engaging. It asks, of each scene, ‘What’s really happening here?’ and offers detailed answers – while challenging students, by means of brief but penetrating writing tasks, to find answers of their own. It also includes an extensive essay bank of questions in the style of A Level, AP and IB written examinations. It is available in both a Student Edition (this one) with a separate Answers section at the end and a Teaching Copy. Both Word and .pdf versions have been included to allow maximum flexibility, and they can be used alongside any edition of the play, thanks to the running line references in the margins. From an AP Central Teachers’ Resources Review: “The first of several differences from Spark, Classic, Monarch, or other guides is that the Wordsmith Study Commentaries are much longer. Another is the personal voice assumed here – reassuring, conversational, and encouraging.” A Library Edition (paperback) has recently been published under the title ‘Study Guide: A Macbeth Commentary: Student Edition’ and with the ISBN 979-8613437337 (enter in any Amazon Search box).

Othello: A Study Commentary (Student Edition)

(0)
This 165-page Commentary is a companion resource to the Teaching Copy (q.v.). The only difference is that the suggested responses to the study tasks have been relocated to a separate Answers Booklet at the end of the resource file so that teachers may withhold them if they wish, or dispense them on an ongoing basis so that students can explore the play for themselves, then undertake a self-assessment process and at the same time deepen their understanding of how the play (and drama in general) ‘works’. This version of the resource, as does the Teaching Copy, effectively supports preparation for GCE A Level assessment, as well as IB and AP. It has recently been republished in paperback under the title ‘Study Guide: An Othello Commentary: Student Edition‘ and with the ISBN 979-8613457779.

It’s almost as if the guides were designed to function in the phantom-teacher atmosphere of an online course.” A Library Edition (paperback) has recently been published under the title ‘Study Guide: A Hamlet Commentary: Teaching Copy’ and with the ISBN 978-1097725236 (enter in any Amazon Search box).
