A template for creating work booklets for any subject. I've used them for primarily Opening Minds (used to teach PSHE, Citizenship and RE), along with a few for GCSE Geography and KS3 Humanities Homework. Simply outline the success criteria on the first page. I would then highlight the criteria achieved in one colour and the criteria to attempt to progress in another. Thus reducing marking workload. For each lesson, change the title and L/O and add any information, activities or required resources. Includes opportunities for DIRT, reflection and self-assessment.

A 6x6 grid for encouraging students to get to know one another. Great for year 7 forms or new form groups. How to use Students need dice. In pairs they roll the dice to determine the cell coordinates. A student then asks the question in the cell and the other/s answer it. It could be printed off and laminated or simply displayed using a projector.

Lesson on the decline and extinctions of mega-fauna as part of a study on climate change. Can be done as two lessons or one lesson and choose between the two tasks offered in the powerpoint. When I've taught this students have enjoyed taking the role on the wall sheet home with them to decorate to suit thetheory of climate change or hunted to extinction.

Need to Know Learning Matrix Topic - Women's Suffrage and the Right to Vote I use these to assess student understanding and progress through the term and to provide quality feedback without the need for excessive comment writing. I simply put the matrix in the front of the students book, every time I mark their books I highlight the relevant criteria in one colour (usually yellow) and criteria I would like them to attempt in DIRT in another (usually pink). Once the criteria to attempt is achieved I simply tick it off on the matrix. In their books I will write WWW and list the codes for the criteria achieved. I will then draw steps to indicate how to level up and write the corresponding codes of criteria I want them to attempt. The Need to Know questions are based on the lessons & learning objectives over the term, which are also used to create the coded success criteria. I find this technique reduces the time I spend marking books however allows me to provide quality feedback and to clearly see progress over the term. It's great for outline the SoW and encouraging independent learning. Hope it's of use.
