IGCSE Global Perspectives Individual Report

Help your students plan an Individual Report that is focused, well researched and properly evaluated, before they write a single paragraph.

This toolkit breaks the Individual Report into ten manageable stages, each with a checkpoint, so students always know what to do next and you can see who is on track at a glance.

What is included

• Student Workbook (13 pages, editable Word and print ready PDF): topic shortlisting, a topic to issue funnel, research question builder with weak and strong examples, research plan and source log, a four check source evaluation grid, perspectives map, issue tree for causes and consequences, courses of action comparison, report structure planner with suggested word ranges, referencing guide, reflection prompts and a final self check.
• Launch Slides (12 slides, editable PowerPoint and PDF): a ready to teach launch lesson with Gold, Silver and Bronze learning objectives, speaker notes and a numbered exit ticket. All slide text is at least 25pt for readability.
• Teacher Guide: a suggested six week sequence, success criteria, differentiation ideas, common weaknesses to watch for, and guidance on staying within coursework rules.

Why teachers use it

• Students stop writing reports that describe an issue without analyzing or evaluating it.
• The source log and evaluation grid make referencing and source evaluation a habit, not an afterthought.
• Designed for the skills teaching and planning phase, so you can support students fully before the independent writing begins.
