A simple worksheet designed to help students who have difficulty breaking down or “chunking” their work into manageable pieces. This sheet asks students to outline the task that has been set for them (in their own words) and then provides a three step planning box to allow them to break the activity or work down into smaller chunks, to work through without becoming overwhelmed. Each step has a handy check-box that students can tick-off for a sense of accomplishment and to keep them moving forward.

Suitable for students of all abilities, but particularly useful for those with memory or comprehension difficulties.
