This image has been turned in to a display to support students understanding of what it means and looks like to dig deeper in our thought processes and how to produce more in-depth sentences.
It can also be applied to other areas of the curriculum, especially when looking for more thoughtful and extend answers when you ask a question. This display provides great imagery to a concept that can be quite abstract in younger children.
This display lettering is to encourage a more positive approach to learning from mistakes and a growth mindset approach to recognising our areas of weakness and focusing on improving them.
A description of how I use this resource is contained within the pack and the approach taken to maximise the engagement of students.
These sentence stems are a great way to get students to reflect on their own and their peers learning. They can be easily utilised for setting a particular focus for self/peer assessment time and is an effective way to introduce this reflective and independent approach to learning with confidence.
