Many thanks. Expensive but excellent
I brought this version last year(gameshows) and was not disappointed. Tasks are well focused. I've found that I can plan lessons around this (recapping terminology) and the tasks can be part of activities that then can progress into students' own research and revision. Lovely revision guide. Thankfully worth the cost (which you can't say for all paid resources found on TES!) Thank you
This is very comprehensive and great for revision - doesn't look like a lot of teaching of content, this more for revision, but lots of tasks for students to work on. Perfect if you have already taught the topic of TV Dramas. There is a list of TV dramas, but many are inappropriate for GCSE students to watch. It would be good if it only had appropriate titles. Also, there is some work specifically for Stranger Things and some links to YouTube - you may need to gather theses resources if your students don't have access in class.
