There are some many ways you can use this resource to get your students really thinking about their learning and can be used to stimulate peer and whole class discussion.

Very effective resource used throughout or at the end of a lesson as a self or peer assessment tool to evaluate learning.

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.

This resource allows students in your class to respond to work or material that is on display in your classroom. It is a great stimulus to encourage engagement with the displays as these can sometimes become just like wallpaper. By providing this little area that contains guidelines and suggestions, it encourages students to think about the learning and post comments on the wall for their peers and teachers to assess and allow deeper thinking skills to develop.
