Differentiated Homeworks for WJEC Level 1/2 Vocational Award in Hospitality and Catering
12 comprehensive and challenging homeworks carefully structured for Unit 1 of the Level 1/2 Vocational Award in Hospitality and Catering qualification (first teaching from 2022).
I feel this resource would "hook the learner's interest in learning"
Differentiated Learning, Tailored Experience: Homeworks for Every Student!
Interesting and differentiated write-on activities provide two versions of each homework, allowing you to tailor work to the needs of individual learners.
- Real-world application: Bridge theory and industry, making learning relevant and engaging.
- Exam-style questions: Boost exam confidence with targeted questions that enhance essential skills and knowledge.
- Readily available answers: Saving time and supporting efficient, hassle-free marking.
Plus, empower diverse learners with extension activities that support both advanced students and those in need of additional support.
I liked the progression through the activities and the fact that you already have differentiated tasks to print and use to meet students' individual needs.

What do teachers say about this resource? (12425)
The resource was very well put together and gave the opportunity to meet the needs of all learners, especially in a mixed-ability class. The work is set to enable learners to access all aspects of the Unit 1 content but at the correct levels for individual pupils to ensure learning is achieved by all. I liked the wide range of different tasks to ensure it is not repetitive and due to the scope of the different homework tasks pupils would engage well rather than just completing practice exam questions all the time as homework, which would make the subject stale for them. I feel this resource would "hook the learner's interest in learning". The tasks are varied enough to suit the 4 types of learners: visual, auditory, kinesthetics, reading & writing. Due to this being a new specification with no actual past papers, it ensures the focus is kept specifically on the topics that relate to the new specification. The presentation & layout of the resource is extremely user-friendly with clear instructions for the tasks involved. Would work well either printed or uploaded onto the TEAMS platforms. This resource mirrors the specification well & makes a great teaching resource alongside the course companion. The expectations of the type of answers from the tasks reflect well what the exam board would be looking for in the perfect answer so will illustrate to pupils the standards required to achieve their grades. Stretch & challenge the higher-ability pupils whilst scaffolding the learning tasks for the lower-ability pupils. I look forward to using the resource to ensure all students engage in tasks & that my teaching/resources do not get repetitive so I also grow as a teacher which also ensures my pupils get the best possible teaching to enable all pupils to gain the understanding of the topics they need to pass their exams.
Overall, a nice set of homework tasks that are produced to a high level. The tasks are suitable for the intended level, with some isolated tasks that can be used lower down in KS3. There are a wide variety of tasks available to meet the needs of the varying students we teach. The activities that I think are particularly strong are the mind map tasks... These are tasks that I feel most students would attempt and are great to use as starters / mark-in-lessons as they can aid discussion and help identify misconceptions. The exam questions are also very similar to the style of questions that they would get in the real exam. This is a document that I would definitely use with my groups. Going through the specification and looking at the content in the homework pack, I think the curriculum has been well represented.
The pack has a variety of different activities in it, which helps prevent students from getting bored. I particularly like the unstructured questions (the mind maps). This format isn’t something I have really seen used in question/homework packs before, but I think it is a really effective way to get all students to at least attempt the homework. I think the balance between the higher and lower-ability tasks is good. The questions for the higher and lower-ability students are pitched at the correct level and cover the specification well. I think the tasks are well differentiated and there is a visible difference between the higher and lower ability questions. I like the exam questions for both the higher and lower abilities. The questions are very similar to questions that you get in the exam, which again shows they are pitched at the correct level. I think, again, they are well differentiated, and you can see a clear difference between the higher and lower-ability questions. Most of the extension tasks are different for higher and lower-ability students. The tasks are again pitched well and they are interesting. I think the resource is very versatile. I think this resource could be used with KS3 and KS4. It could be used as a starter (either straight as a starter or marking homework as a starter task), as an extension tasks or specific tasks. Some of the tasks could be given to KS3 to check their understanding of what they have learned or as a deep learning task.
Some excellent activities. I liked the progression through the activities and the fact that you already have differentiated tasks to print and use to meet students' individual needs. Groups tend to be mixed ability for us so, depending on your class, you could use them as progression tasks to improve learning - one in a lesson, one at a later date as revision or give the 2 different sheets out in lessons to different individuals. Having mark schemes means that students learn how marks are awarded for different styles of questions. It follows the spec and provides activities for each of the areas. There are so many non-specialists teaching these courses now, it means that resources are done for them and they're easy to follow.
