It includes information for students, and 13 activities ranging from crosswords to essay planning.

They worked really well last year to make sure that students were revising early on, and I’m sure they will be as succesful this year too. I will be using this as home learning for my students over the coming half term, and have included a schedule with their deadlines which can easily be adapted to suit your class May need the latest version of word or you might need to play around with the formatting. I’ve also uploaded as a pdf to avoid any trouble. I really hope this is useful to you!
