“I was really hoping to use this kit with a lower level Social Studies (Year 9) class. Whilst the kit contained amazing resources, it would be better suited to an enrichment class, perhaps at Year 10 or even Commerce Level One. For example: the actitivies are literacy rich, using complex language and themes. The students struggled to comprehend the activity worksheet pad as it required advanced depth and detail. The students enjoyed the intergration of the Sorted in Schools website with kit activities.”

“What a fantastic resource pack! However, the students found the instructions too complex. I feel it is aimed at higher level or older students. May be Year 11.”

“The concept of this kit was great. New learnngs for many of my students. But having done other school kiots previously, I found this one much more complex for both me to interpret and then be able to utilise with the the students. The letters from the future were a great idea but my group (very capable) struggled to engage with it). FUll disclosure, I did not complete the full kit due to both time, but also student interest was falling. A bit heavy on the sorted tools became a little repetitive. This through should not detract from the overall picture. I was able to really dive in with the compound interest and led to great discussions about risk/reward/trade offs”
