Example revision activities from the student workbook: 

Zooming in on 'Ozymandias' 

  • What quotations can you find which give us a hint about the sort of leader Ozymandias was when he was alive?
  • What is the effect of the story being told to us by a person who has not seen the statue for themselves, but is just retelling details of something he was once told about?
  • How does Shelley use sound for effect within the poem?
  • Why do you think the statue is now broken? What possibilities are there? What wider messages are there in the image of this broken statue and its inscription?
  • Why is the statement written on the pedestal ironic?

Diamond nine: 

Find a short quotation to support each of the diamond-nine statements. Explain why the quotation you found supports the statement.

Exam-style questions: 

Compare the ways poets present ideas about the power of nature in ‘Ozymandias’ and 
‘Storm on the Island’.

Discuss the ways in which poets present human power within ‘Ozymandias’ and one other poem.

The drawings are rather infantile and will put off my students. I avoid resources like this. Besides, this resource is not very good. I have made my own for several years and they find great acclaim by my students.

I totally agree with all the other comments re subscription. I can buy an equivalent resource elsewhere and only subscribed so that I can gain access to this sort of material as part of the cost. I’d be interested to know what is new and free for subscribers only as it appears that the I would be better off returning to my free subscription when my year ends. Very disappointed.

Agree that this should be free for members. But, looking at the samples I don't rate this more highly than various schools' material that can be found on a Google search, or the Mr Bruff YouTube clips.

Many thanks for raising your concerns - we're really appreciative of your feedback and are very sorry that some of you feel disappointed and angry that we haven’t made 'Power and conflict' available to subscribers. In recent years, we've started to release stand-alone, downloadable items which are not available as part of a subscription – 'Fix it writing' is just one example. Until the launch of 'Power and conflict', we'd never received any negative user feedback about ring-fenced pricing for specific, selected products. This has definitely given us pause for thought.

In terms of the 'Power and conflict' guide, this is a hand-illustrated, extremely labour-intensive pack and we're really thankful to our writer, editor and designer for the many, many, many(!) hours spent on it - we think it's a really high-quality pack which is well worth the money (though we would say this, of course!).

In terms of ensuring that a Teachit subscription offers you value for money, we have recently launched the first of our exam skills packs - 'AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2' and will be publishing the equivalent pack for Paper 1 in the autumn, so please watch this space. We're absolutely committed to ensuring that your subscription to Teachit is relevant and cost-effective so please do continue to let us know about content that you see as a must-have: support@teachit.co.uk

Why is this not free for members? It is the key reason I joined. Very disappointing.
