At the end of what has felt like a very long term battling with a new spec, I wanted to set my students a homework that would:

• Consolidate their learning,
• Challenge them to achieve higher marks in the exam and …
• Easy to mark!

Here are some examples:

Facebook profiles:

Fact Files:

And my favourites…

Tinder (dating) Profiles:

Tinder Matches:

Mobile Phone conversations:

Classroom Display:
