[Fhsst-bio] What level to pitch the content at

[Graeme & Nicole]

Hi there Nicky

 

As for what level to pitch it at, why not use the UK websites for their curricula - they're roughly equivalent - e.g. http://www.aqa.org.uk/qual/pdf/AQA-5411-6411-5413-6413-W-SP-05.pdf and

http://www.aqa.org.uk/qual/pdf/AQA-5416-6416-W-SP-05.pdf

 

If you want to see other specifications, go to AQA's home page, then click on qualifications, GCE AS/A2, then on the drop down specification menu, choose whatever you're interested in. Alternatively, you could try the OCR website - slightly different content, but again, will give you a rough guide as to the level to pitch it at.

 

However, remember that we're writing for ESL readers!!! While trying to get the content level right (and not dumbing down too much), remember not to use too much unexplained jargon, and to use diagrams wherever possible.

 

Hope that helps.

Nicole
