This bundle contains three valuable resources for authors. Whether you are a potential author, an author just starting out or already an author; I am sure that these resources can help you in some way and will prove a worthwhile investment. 'How to Become a Successful TES Author - Step-by-Step Guide' I began to produce resources for TES in August 2015. When I look back at my early resources I cringe! I made so many mistakes…. Since then I have come a long way and learned so much. One of my resources made over 900 sales in the space of a few weeks and earned nearly £2000 in royalties. In this 23-page, step-by-step guide I share my mistakes and my successes to help you avoid making the same mistakes and to become a successful author sooner than you would have done without this guide. I do not claim to have all the answers and ‘my way’ might not be other people’s way.

Pupils investigate and / or cost out the price of Disneyland Theme Park tickets, return flights, accommodation including breakfast and travel to and from the airport. They also need to work out the cost of lunch and an evening meal for each day. They are required to find out the exchange rate for pounds to euros and euros to pounds. Calculations will involve working out the value of items in euros and pounds and vice-versa. Having collated all this information pupils need to work out whether £1000 is enough money to cover the cost of the trip. Pupils also have to pack their suitcase making sure that it does not exceed the 20 kilogram luggage allowance. This requires pupils investigating the weight of items they are likely to pack and the weight of the suitcase itself. They need to choose the items they will take ensuring that the items do not exceed the allowance. The resources are differentiated to cater for the needs of different pupils. The most challenging tasks involve pupils researching much of the information themselves. For pupils requiring extra help, the information needed is provided.
