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.
