    An examination question can have a simple topic at its core, but require a variety of different concepts to allow a full answer to be given.

    Learners need to be able to link these terms together so they can choose the most important or most relevant ones to use in an answer.

    Give learners a topic area from the syllabus. The topics in Worksheet 2: Linking terms can be used as a basis for these terms or any other topic from the syllabus could be used.

    Learners create a mind-map using as many different concepts that they can think of linking to this topic.

    Use Worksheet 2: Linking terms answers to lead a class discussion so that learners can see what has been added to each other’s lists.

    Where a learner has added a concept that no-one else has, ask for an explanation as to why/how it links to the topic.
