Not solitude but support!

Fantastic time-saving resource for a busy teacher. The time saved in making my own powerpoint and worksheets is worth 10 times the price. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. Lovely critical thinking and collaboration activities. Don't think I'll have time for all of them when doing the poem but could maybe come back to them for revision. Love how you incorporated some unseen poetry activities in the contrast exercise.

Inconsistent Spelling and Errors

Inconsistent spelling between UK and US English and spelling errors make the resource unusable to hang in the classroom. Very disappointing.

Inconsistent Spelling and Errors

While these look very nice, there are spelling errors (syntehsize, conrast) that make them unusable. There is also inconsistent spelling between US and UK English making them a problematic vocab resource for students as well.

At a Funeral by Dennis Brutus Poetry pack

The resource pack is very useful. For me as a teacher it will be helpful for teaching the learners the poem 'At a Funeral'. The resource pack simplifies with it's line to line analysis. I highly recommend the resource pack to teachers, learners and parents ( who wants to help the children at home). However, l recommend that there must be exam questions and the answers at the end. Both essay and contextual questions. In overall the resource pack is the best. May we kindly have the full book resource pack for all the 12 poems.

Sakhile Mpofu- June 14, 2023 “At a Funeral” by Dennis Brutus Poetry Pack – 2023 NSC Prescribed Poetry

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on this poetry pack. A poetry practice pack is now available with contextual and essay questions on all 12 poems.
