One small fact. A lesson with a useful job.

Bring it closer to home.

Pick a public place or a question your class cares about. Check one useful source, then turn it into an example you can use again.

Start with official source-finding doors or six dated worked examples. Open the actual item and review it yourself. This card does not fetch facts or check their accuracy.

Use a town, library, council area or public station. No learner's identity, home address or family details are needed. Blank fields can stay “not supplied”.

The editable desk needs JavaScript. You can still use the complete paper card or editable original template, guide, examples and notices.

Your writing stays in this tab until you save a copy. It is not sent anywhere or saved automatically. Reopening a valid saved card replaces the current card, so save this one first if you want to keep it. Use the readable file in your usual document editor. Printing depends on your browser and printer.

New draft. Add as much as this example needs.
