THE ULTIMATE STUDENT LIFELINE FOR COMPONENT 1
Tired of students staring blankly at their assignment? Exhausted from repeating “remember to use PIES” for the hundredth time? This helpsheet does the heavy lifting for you.

WHAT’S INSIDE:
All 4 tasks fully broken down – Task 1, Task 2, Task 3a AND Task 3b with step-by-step guidance
Sentence starters for EVERY section – Students literally just fill in the blanks
Colour-coded PIES framework throughout – Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social made visual and memorable
Word count targets – So students know exactly how much to write
Time guidance per task – Helps them pace themselves in supervised assessment
Self-assessment checklists – Students tick off what they’ve included before submitting
Sources and Types of Support tables – Task 3b made simple
Top tips for hitting the higher mark bands

Students who “don’t know where to start”
Last-minute revision before submission
Cover lessons – just print and go
Reducing your marking load (better first drafts = less reteaching)

“Finally, a resource that actually understands what students struggle with.”
“Bought this at 9pm, printed it at 9:01pm, taught with it the next morning. Lifesaver.”
