Although there are some impressive resources and tasks within the PowerPoint, I am disappointed that the first 6 lessons are solely reading and discussions. For a £10 scheme of work I would have expected more comprehensive lessons.
Comprehensive SOW that can easily be adapted for other exam boards.
