How I Use This Resource
I give the sheet to students and give them five minutes to complete as much as they can by themselves without notes.
I then give them a further five minutes to work as a group.
They can then complete the table with notes if there are still gaps.
I usually have the table on the board and fill it in throughout if students as me for clarity or shout out any answers! By the end of about 15 minutes every students should have a completed sheet.
