REVISION – RE-CAP

This week we will re-cap on the topics, CSP’s, theorists, key ideas, key language etc etc. Firstly, look at page 70 and 71 of this CSP booklet and make a note of what we have covered and what we still need to do. Export both pages and save on your blog.

Secondly, we will re-cap by choosing a topic, idea, approach, CSP etc and create a table with 4-5 bullet points.
The first column will be ‘What do you know?’
