an adaptation of a resource (to the same tune) that I downloaded many years ago - I’m sorry I can no longer find it to credit the author. It has been modified and I know hope that it contains most of the information needed for the new course about alkenes and their reactions for a good way to end a lesson on alkenes or for part of a revision lesson. enjoy

Starter based on real exam question and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to be the focus of a whole lesson, if you use the question as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. Commentary on student answers are included.
