Worksheets (including differentiated tasks) are included, along with two homeworks which are linked to the SOW. There is room for two assessments during the SOW. However these assessments are NOT included (only blank slides are left), due to different schools assessing student work in varying ways. However if you want the assessments linked to this SOW I am more than happy to provide them for free if required, when this SOW is purchased. The main SOW is generated using Microsoft PowerPoint, and the information appears using basic animations, so students can experience the information one part at a time. The linked worksheets are provided in Microsoft Publisher. All resources are FULLY editable, so they can be adapted to suit the needs of your students.
