Homework pack - one a week for 8 weeks as park of an interleaved revision approach to reviewing previous content (Word document but PDF also included) to cover Philosophy/Themes: Relationships- ideal for independent study or revision/exam practise. 16-page booklet with a variety of activities and tasks, including exam practise.
Set the homework as suits your own classes best. I personally like to give one a week, but students (and parents) know exactly what’s expected over the coming 8 weeks. Some will, as ever, do it all in one or two sittings!
