What do teachers say about this resource? (8463)

A very useful resource. It is great for helping students learn and revise terminology. Perfect for starters or plenaries. A great source of many tasks for student consolidation of terms. I liked the variety of activities and how many different versions of each task there were. I also like the glossary task where students can make their own revision materials. It is helpful for differentiation and for setting differing levels of challenge. I LOVE the interactive crossword function - being able to check answers is so useful! It has definite educational value for students who are in the process of learning terms or revising them. It takes what can be a very dry task and turns it into a game. This would definitely help students enjoy their learning and really tests their understanding and their literacy too. It is simple to understand and straightforward. Clear to print and use online... A very useful starter resource for teachers to be able to test and consolidate student's learning.
