I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Life-Threatening Injuries and Situations
As I�m doing a set of classes on emergencies again, I thought I�d do one on potentially life-threatening situations or injuries. Given the morbid nature of the worksheet, I have tried to keep it upbeat and light-hearted but I still wouldn�t recommend it for kids.

A question list for an episode of Blackadder. I�m currently doing a worksheet about how the French Revolution affected the West. So, I�ll be using this in conjunction with it.
