Which ancillary component would you produce to cover topics not in main materials?

• A. Ancillary components/ Information sheet
• B. Ancillary components/ Study sheet
• C. Ancillary components/ Worksheet
• D. Ancillary components/ Assignment sheet

Answer: (C)

When you need to cover topics not included in the main materials, you want an ancillary component that invites learners to engage with new ideas through guided practice. A worksheet fits this role because it provides structured prompts, problems, and activities that require applying or exploring unfamiliar content. It lets you present scenarios, calculations, or short answer tasks that specifically target the gaps left by the main materials, helping learners practice and solidify those new topics. You can also align the questions to learning objectives for the added topics and use the responses to gauge understanding as learners work through them.

Information sheets and study sheets are more about delivering or summarizing extra content rather than offering hands-on practice with new material, while assignment sheets focus on tasks and deadlines rather than guided exploration. A worksheet thus offers the most practical way to introduce and reinforce topics not covered in the main materials through active engagement.
