Contemporary Data Response Case Studies for A2 Unit F583: Work and Leisure

Ten up-to-date case studies with exam-style data response questions. Use them as tests, stimuli for class discussion, self-contained homeworks, or springboards for students’ independent revision.

There is clearly a need for this type of resource... The current and slightly humorous nature of the stimulus articles (e.g. naked cleaner) should keep the attention of the pupil!
