Each section has a key words test, info about the play and questions for students to answer. It finishes with advice on structure of the essay and practice questions.

A 20 page booklet on the value of Teamwork. Can be completed as part of a Character Education program or for any tutor time activity.

Would also work for isolation room tasks or setting cover.

This powerpoint includes direction on the possible types of questions that could be on the exam and how the students could answer them. It includes tasks, peer assessment and learning objectives.
