What do teachers say about this resource? (9182)
A good core resource for springboarding tasks and formative assessments... This would also be incredibly useful to NQTs who want to ensure that they are covering the specification and delivering the content in an interactive and thought provoking manner. The resource is good for both group and individual activities. The Walkthrough activities are very good to use for formative tasks after reading a set of chapters. The Background activities are a good way for learners to learn about the themes as homework... The Walkthrough Activities are also really helpful for facilitating discussion... They encourages the learner to directly reference the text and summarise the content... The resource is quite useful as a revision tool for students. The highlighted techniques and explanations help signpost the students on what to discuss... A really flexible resource!
