Markbook Extra is an incredibly powerful yet wonderfully simple automated electronic markbook. How does it work? In brief, you enter the student’s raw marks for any assessment and the markbook uses sophisticated analysis to present you with all the data you’d want to see on an individual student or whole classes.

Lesson designed to enable students to give arguments for and against and evaluate our duty to shelter refugees in the UK. The lesson is designed as a KS4 RE lesson though source content is not expressly religious in nature and therefore I believe the lesson could be employed in other subject areas. This lesson follows on from an introduction to Human Rights but if students don't have their own copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, they will need to be provided with one to complete the starter if you choose to use it. The source material is taken from recent publications and is designed to allow for stretch and challenge at the top end. There are a large number of sources available and you may wish to choose to omit some based on time pressure and/or ability range of students, though they should be able to differentiate for themselves since the sources are designed to be traffic lighted using different colours of card. I hope you find it enables students to respond with evidence and justification to this relevant and engaging debate.
