The only useful part of this resource is the mark scheme. It suggests students write 3 paragraphs for their descriptive writing without giving an example. I'd love to see an example that has 3 paragraphs and was successful... It gives 1 or 2 sentence examples that are below par. I could have put this together in 10 minutes and wish I did.
Absolutely brilliant.
Very comprehensive, exceeded my expectations :)
This was very helpful for me as it is my first time teaching this qualification. The exam board doesn't seem to have much available so this helped me understand the paper more and will also be great for my students too. Clearly planned and easy to use.Thank you :-)
