Marking Out Puzzle Cards

During my lessons in Resistant Materials, I noticed that a lot of my pupils were struggling with reading and writing tasks. I was struggling to think of a way to engage these students in written tasks without making them uncomfortable about their lack of skills.
Suddenly, it came to me; a puzzle game! A lot of the literacy interventions we run at my school include using games to promote learning and confidence. I decided to create this simple order game to get the pupils thinking about the correct order of marking out in Resistant Materials but also getting them to look at full sentences and correctly spelled words. A win win!

Using these cards, the accompanying PowerPoint, I asked students to arrange the marking out process in the correct order and then we went through the answers as a class. Now the pupils have an idea of how this process works but also an idea of how these words are arranged and spelled.
