ATL Skills for the Year 10 Personal Project (PP)
Presented by Dr John Willison
John knew the topic well, and able to suit it to what the students contributed. The changing nature of the task was very useful as well to keep students interested. It reaffirmed to students that they do all of the ATLs already, so it doesn’t feel like it is extra work.
