I bought this as part of a 10 lesson bundle, it is a very good resource, a PowerPoint containing a range of activities and tasks which are informative and engaging However i did find this expensive at £31 for 10 lessons, which only covers about half of the topic and unfortunately its going to end up costing over £60 to get the rest of the lessons to complete this topic. I am paying for this myself rather than being funded by the school so am struggling to justify this and would think a fairer price would be somewhere between the £10 to £15 range.
