This is a resource that I used with a year 12 ICT class to revise the use of command words as they seemed unable to answer the questions correctly. Before the lesson set them a 20 mark question to plan as they will self assess their planning ability as part of the lesson. The starter looks at a news article about Ransomeware and they have to identify what back up and security recommendations they would make.
