Brilliant resource, saved me hours! I gave this five stars because of the variety of tasks - the screenshots don't do this enormous pack justice. Engaging, fully resourced, and easy to use. The interview tasks and role play brought the topic to life, and the categorisation challenged the students. The recap quizzes and final assessment kept students focused. The cover lesson was spot on and MUCH appreciated by our HoD. Highly recommend.
