What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I liked the collateral that I knew would be engaging for students, especially the scratch cards!
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) I liked that it was stand alone, I used it after 13 Year Old Me so students were used to the idea of a fictional character they could relate to.
