These are structure strips to aid pupils to successfully structure their answers for the Unit 1 exam. The theory is they glue a strip to the side of the page, and then follow the guidelines to help them get to grips of what each question demands for a good/high mark. Pupils then number code their answer. Teacher then marks the work and suggests lettered code(s) for improvement. The attached resources are for the Depression, War and Recovery Unit, but the headers on each strip can easily be edited for your specific unit title. The font colour will need to be darker for printing.
