The Year 8 Teacher's Book covers the key concepts and processes of the revised programme of study, offering a full range of lesson plans to cover the breadth of the curriculum while at the same time allowing for a great deal of flexibility in the way in which teachers can deliver the suggested lessons or recombine the various source materials and assessment tasks to suit their own teaching style and the levels of their pupils. This book includes a CD-ROM of editable worksheets.
The Teacher's Book and the accompanying Dynamic Learning CD-ROM sit at the heart of this English package, offering teachers entirely flexible source material and activities that can easily be adapted and personalised for groups and individual pupils as necessary. The recommended lesson plans will link clearly to key objectives and encourage teachers to integrate the prescribed curriculum content with practice of all four main skills as well as the personal, learning and thinking skills and functional skills frameworks.
