The Collins Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives series offers a skills-building approach to the Cambridge curriculum framework (1129) from 2022. The resources support students to develop skills in analysis, collaboration, communication, evaluation, reflection and research, exploring global issues through rich international sources. We are working with Cambridge Assessment International Education towards endorsement of this title for the Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives curriculum framework (1129) from 2022. This book provides full coverage of the Stage 9 Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives curriculum framework. Focused on improving skills: each chapter focuses on a combination of skill strands, building these skills through active learning towards a collaborative final task. In Stage 9, there is a particular focus on constructing effective arguments in writing in preparation for the Checkpoint assessment. Empower students to engage with a range of contemporary issues and perspectives. In Stage 9 these relate to the syllabus topics, 'Poverty and inequality', 'Media and communication', 'Travel, transport and tourism' and 'Sport and recreation'. Help students to assess their progress and understand how to improve: the final chapters ask students to apply the skills they have learned across Stage 9, by planning and writing a research report and reflecting on what they have learned from the course. Encourage reflection through structured Reflection points in each lesson and a self-assessment Check your progress feature at the end of each chapter. The clear lesson-by-lesson approach allows teachers to easily use the resources in the classroom and build them into their own schemes of work. The Collins resources can be used as preparation for the Challenges, if schools wish, as some of the chapters in the Student's Book links to the skills and topic focus of a Stage 9 Challenge.

Exam Board: Cambridge Assessment International Education Level & Subject: Cambridge International AS & A Level Literature in English First teaching: September 2019 First examination: from 2021 The Student's Book introduces the key concepts and skills in the Cambridge International syllabus, with a focus on developing effective writing from the start, to give students a toolkit for responding to unseen texts and exploring the set texts in depth. Develops effective writing throughout with dedicated activities and exemplar student writing to model different ways of responding to texts. Structured to help students make progress: each unit offers a clear, step-by-step learning sequence, moving from exploration to supported analysis to independent writing, and building towards examination-style tasks at the end of each chapter. Supports and challenges all learners. The first chapter of the book introduces the fundamental skills and concepts for the course, building learners' confidence and supporting the transition from upper secondary. The second part of the book shows students how to apply these skills to write about the three major forms (poetry, prose and drama) and to respond to unseen texts. Thinking more deeply sections revisit ideas at a higher level to challenge the most able students. Provides an anthology of international texts: fresh texts from a variety of periods and cultures have been chosen to allow students to explore different writers' choices and their effects. Practical for the classroom: the book will be clearly organised into practical sequences of learning that can be used as lessons or series of lessons. The focus on activity and modelling offers an accessible format for classroom teaching. Supports teachers' planning. The free online teacher resource available on Collins.co.uk provides editable medium-term plans summarising the coverage of each chapter.
