Teaching notes:

About Worksheets:

Fresh Produce Food Story Worksheets. These are macro Word documents which allow pupils to choose answers to cloze exercises based on watching videos about food stories. (If computer virus checker warns about downloading Word macro enabled documents just ignore – they are safe!

Once pupils have completed worksheet they can click a button to check their answers and then do any corrections. There is a key word paragraph to complete which really needs checking / marking by a teacher.

IMPORTANT: Pupils must really complete worksheet in one go or at least not close the document with macros enable, if they do this then on opening again the document will clear any of their previous answers!

If they do save as and save document as normal word document (rather than docm) then it will preserve the answers they have done but they will not be able to answer any answers not already completed.

There is a non-macro version of worksheet which gives them multichoices for each answer – but does not allow pupils to do self-assessment. )
