What do teachers say about this resource? (10165)

The cover lessons are well designed and varied. They are complete with extension tasks at the end of each lesson, so they would be able to fill an hour cover lesson. The resource is put together with knowledge of how memory works, such as the use of dual coding. The tasks are engaging for pupils. It does not follow a set formula, and instead keeps learning varied. Presentation is superb. It is well split into separate lessons. Instructions are clear. It uses visuals appropriately. It is also not dependent on colour printing.

an excellent set of cover lessons for AQA Islam. It incorporates key aspects that students are meant to study and the tasks are engaging and suited to that age range. The resource had the relevant information needed for the students to be able to complete the tasks.The lessons were well thought out, with easy to follow instructions for the teacher but also for the person who has to set the cover work. The Lesson Overview Grid is extremely helpful as it clearly shows the intentions of each lesson, key terms and resources needed. Meaning the teacher who has to organise the cover work would be able to have this lesson ready within minutes. It also has a good amount of tasks included which should take the whole lesson to complete, meaning there is no need for students to have nothing to do as the tasks are well designed to suit abilities.

Really useful and well thought out. Good to have lesson overview grid. I like the modern approach such as the outline of the mobile phones to interpret the creation quotes. Really enjoy the range of activities. [It] would really help students to understand the syllabus. Outstanding layout, varied and interesting. [Matches the specification] perfectly
