The resource would be very suitable for KS4 students who are studying the Timber section of the examination. It is very detailed, and the information is displayed in a format that is easy to understand and read. There is a good number of images that the students will enjoy looking at rather than just lots of written text. The format of the pages with some images alongside mind maps. It demonstrates a good way to learn the topic uses different ways of presenting the material they need to learn. I like the fact that they have shown the topic number which corresponds to the specification. I also like the way the images have been annotated showing good practice for their own work. The resource has all the areas that are assessed in topic 7. Students can use the information on the first two pages to find the answers and fill in the gaps. I find that students are well versed in doing this and will find it easy to complete independently. This makes it easy to be set as homework or other independent learning. The resource matches the specification specifically and has all the areas that students need to know in a small condensed space. It makes the learning feel achievable rather than pages and pages as displayed in the text book. All the areas of topic 7 are included, I particularly like the stock forms, an area that my students sometimes struggle with.

The author has done a lot of research work to prepare the resource. The use of mind maps are very effective for revision. Worksheets with fill-in exercises are included which is good and will surely help the learning process and engaged the learners. This resource is accompanied by activity pages for higher-ability and lower-ability students that I feel will enhance learning among both abilities of learners. The posters to be affixed on walls for regular checks and reading also enhances learning for students who don’t like to read notes. The use of mind maps, illustrations and tables are more visual and will help students who don’t like to read notes for quick revision.
