Learning for Life and Work in Close-Up - Year 9 - Key Stage 3

This is the second of three books covering Learning for Life and Work at Key Stage 3.

Each of the books covers all three areas of learning (Personal Development, Citizenship and Employability) and there is a progression through Years 8, 9 and 10 allowing pupils to gradually explore issues in more depth and complexity during their school years.

An additional resource CD is available to accompany each text and follows exactly the content of each numbered lesson. There is a pupil worksheet for every lesson with additional activities, photographs for projection, quizzes etc.

These resources are written with Northern Ireland pupils in mind.
