What do teachers say about this resource? (8882)
A high quality resource with an extensive range of different activities.The resource can be used flexibly as activities can be interchanged and used as either starters or plenaries, or some could be used as homework. Supply teachers could also use this resource as all the answers are provided and the activities would engage the learners. I particularly like the fact that the variety of activities will engage learners with differing learning styles. Activities are current and students will be able to relate to them.
I found the resource to be highly beneficial. The activities created were wide ranging in terms of independent, group and pair work. The activities were challenging and met a wide range of topic points. The activities were a suitable time for a starter and plenary. It used some methods that I have not seen/thought to incorporate into food lesson before, such as the diamondbacks activity. As most of the resources were only 1 page, this was useful. It is useful for students to have written activities that they can use for revision notes, rather than a discussion task, which is often the case for plenaries. Key topics on the specification are covered, and key terms that are focused by the exam board are used. It also has challenge aspects, which is supported by the textbook. It meets well with the content that is included within the textbook and it allows you to easily match the activity to a lesson. I find that with pre-made resources you are often trying to make it 'fit' but I feel that I would not have to do such with these resources due to the nature of the activities. It will be a timesaver, as it often takes a lot of time to plan a 10 minute starter.
