Questioning poker chips - help to develop your own questioning AFL too!

(0)
4 different coloured poker chips e.g. red, blue, orange and green You hand out the blank chips to students and you keep the chips with the varied questioning starts on them The question starts have been taken from a question matrix It is up to you, you can use them as a differentiation tool, but the idea is that you take a red one for example, from your own pile and then look for an answer from a student who has a blank red poker chip. And so on. It's as simple as that!

Approaching Poetry (unseen or seen) - with essay writing framework

(0)
A colour coded resource with a checklist on to help students with approaching poetry. There is also a colour coded essay framework, which helps students to construct a response to 2 poems read, at the same time as comparing them. This resource has worked great with my middle ability and lower ability classes. An excellent revision resource too.
