“The amount of effort and research that must have gone into this resource is phenomenal. Over the last 5 weeks we have focussed on two of the cards - Perseverance and Empire. Both were at the right level and supported the students learning of what different resources can offer. I feel that the students now have a great framework for reading historical photos and are more inclined to look deeper into the details rather than glancing at an image. They have a lot more questions and are wanting to use a range of resources to find the answers to their questions. This is an amazing resource and one that can be used over and over again as the range of cards is fantastic. Thank you.”
