NEA Paper 2 Booklet

NEA Paper 2 Booklet

(0)
OCR GCSE Computer Science NEA work booklet. This booklet is designed to link the seemingly worthless NEA into a practical task that can be directly linked into various topics in paper 2. The booklet is 10 pages long (including a front page and contents page). It has exam style questions that bridge the gap between the NEA program and paper 2 concepts. It covers 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.5, with questions created in an exam style format, but linked directly to the NEA. The idea behind the booklet is that students complete this as they work through the NEA. They can either have short sessions in lesson completing topics, or complete it for homework after covering the content in lesson. A brilliant idea that makes completing the NEA much more efficient and effective.
