What do teachers say about this resource? (7612)
A valuable resource that ... can be easily set up to use in the classroom... The different type of cards consider different types of students. This makes differentiation easier for the teacher and ensures that the needs of each student are being addressed. I like the tone of the cards... Students respond better to this light-hearted approach, especially at exam season... I like how the makeover moments can be used by teachers to specifically address the targets of students, and they also encourage the students to proofread their own work and improve it, which is something that most students forget to do during their practice questions... The presentation is clear and easy for all students to follow.
I really liked the idea behind the resource and there is definitely a need for this type of resource. I liked the simple, easy to understand and formulaic layout of the cards. Students would be able to use this type of format with limited teacher input... These cards would be great in a lesson where you needed to spend time with individual students as students would be able to use them. The tricky aspect with any extended writing is students knowing where to start; this type of resource would help them with that.
This is a well-presented resource with some interesting writing ideas... I liked the double-sided feature. I also liked the variety of ideas... This would be a useful resource for extension activities, homeworks ... NQTs and cover lessons.
Lots of good and interesting tasks... The overall approach was exciting... A lot of good material here which would be useful in a classroom and for prep.
