An exam wrapper (A.K.A. Cognitive Wrapper) is a worksheet that allows for before and after reflections when students are taking practice exam papers or undergoing assessments. This exam wrapper is suitable for all subjects and is a fantastic way to improve the value and usefulness of practice assessments. Please see the attached preview files to see the high quality of these double-sided, A4, colour, fully-editable, exam wrappers. Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools. It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”: yet there are very few available online, and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. This wrapper is designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and is designed to be fast, fun, and engaging. This download comprises one of five exam wrappers, you can buy all five versions in our bundle (linked below) and save money by doing so: using a variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities.

This download includes four PLC templates: teachers need simply need to add the list of topics for their respective subjects and they are ready to go. On the reverse side of each learning checklist is a series of metacognitive reflection tasks and target-setting activities: this enhances the usefulness of the learning checklist and helps students to use of their self-monitoring and evaluation work to steer, direct and regulate learning. Personal Learning Checklists (PLCs) feature lists of all required learning for a unit or course: students run through the list, indicating for each topic how confident they feel in relation to it and how secure their learning is. Personal learning checklists are a fantastic example of self-regulated learning and metacognition since students can use them to monitor and evaluate their learning and then plan and regulate it accordingly. Personal Learning Checklists should be used by all teachers in all subjects: they are especially useful in subjects where students are preparing for formal summative assessments [exams] and, ideally, the list of topics on the checklist should be faithful to the exam specification they are using. Please note: the preview images depict completed templates for illustrative purposes, teachers will need to add topics for their respective subjects/units before using the PLCs.
