Teachers’ notes

A teacher's comment on the related OCR resource by the same author:

Many of my students are not native English speakers and have no idea of Shakespeare or Elizabethan language. The character and plot breakdowns are written in such straightforward language that I feel sure they will be able to understand it now. You have saved me a great deal of time and trouble so thank you very much. – M.C., Berkshire
