This is a series of templates for using to promote pace in lessons when students are working independently (or perhaps in pairs). Most exam questions are roughly 1 mark per minute so students need to increase their pace if they are to complete their papers. The idea is that you give them a set amount of time to do each question and then through out you give them reminders of the time elapsed. The template encourages them to work against the clock to complete the questions and so up their pace. If you see the MS Publisher file for the example which is four questions to be completed in eight minutes. The MS PowerPoint contains SEVEN templates which you can print out and use. Simply hand write the questions around the clock face and then write on the number of minutes for each one. There are two pages of usage notes included on the PowerPoint to help you implement the resource in your lessons. It's a great idea which I saw on TES resources (MrsMorgan1) and so thank you to her for sharing. I've adapted it for my learners. This is what my colleague said "My class really took to it and I was pleased with how eager they were to finish" If you like this then check out my many other activities listed on my TES Resources Shop (Stewsterthebear) which includes many free and Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Stewsterthebear If you find this resource useful then please do leave a constructive review so that others can benefit from your experience.
