With a series of activities within the PPT and an attached set of exam questions from the AQA set of past papers (paper number identified in the document). Video links and reference to Toole and Toole AQA textbook pages to support students and teacher. This took me about 3-4 lessons to complete with sufficient time for the students to complete the activities, exam practice and ask questions. I have not made a markscheme for the exam questions as I tend to refer straight to the past paper markscheme, if you would find this useful to have as a resource then let me know. I hope it helps :)
