However, there are opportunities for pupils to speak to/work verbally with the person nearest to them. There are discussion points/questions throughout the PowerPoint, as well as 1 and 5 mark GCSE questions with modelling and mark schemes. The lesson ends with pupils working to raise a 12 mark answer that achieves within the level 3 banding, to a level 4. Teacher’s advice notes are provided on this.
