The Wider World
(David Waugh)
|
If you haven't heard of the legendary David Waugh, then you
must have been on a ten year secondment to Mars, as he's currently one of the most popular
authors of Key Stage 3, 4 & 5 textbooks in the United Kingdom. This textbook,
aimed at KS4 students provides a well-balanced range of themes, drawing on a wide variety
of places in the case-studies. All of the sections are comprehensive (perhaps
with the exception of weather & climate), and the illustrations are pertinent and
clear. Clearly structured questions are included at the end of each section for
assessment purposes.
This book contains quite a high level of language and so would be most suited to
middle- and higher-ability students. Less able students would probably require
either differentiated versions or a more accessible book.
