 Special OffersSpecial Classroom Resources Offer – A Must for All English Departments
NOW REDUCED TO AN INCREDIBLE £29.99 UNTIL THE END OF THIS TERM
We have a limited number of a special "must have" purchase for every English Dept. Buy any TWO other Classroom Resources titles and we will offer you the oppurtunity to purchase the complete BBC Shakespeare Collection on DVD for the NEW very special price of £29.99 plus VAT plus p&p, a fantastic saving of £170!!!!!
Your school can enjoy this 38 DVD disc set of unrivalled BBC adaptions by some of the most celebrated direcrors of our time and performed by many of Britain's most accomplished actors including Helen Mirren, Derek Jacobi, John Gielgud, Anthony Hopkins, Bob Hoskins, Ben Kingsley, Celia Johnson, Warren Mitchell, John Cleese, Felicity Kendall, John Thaw, Leonard Rossiter - and many more.
The real strengths of the BBC versions are how closely the films match the actual plays, unlike most Hollywood versions. Showing a BBC film – or relevant scenes for SATs – means that your students get support for the actual print texts they are studying rather than a re-invention of the play by a film director. Students will therefore write about the text with added understanding and appreciation.
