This resource is an updated version of the previously published higher order thinking powerpoint. This is an interactive lesson which encourages students to think about how they think in preparation for exam technique input.

This PowerPoint aims to promote higher order thinking. I used this with my class to set the scene for an exam technique lesson so that we could discuss the different types of thinking and different skills they will be required to exhibit in their essay writing. This was useful in helping students understand what is expected of them in the classroom and outside of the classroom in order for them to be successful. Lots of great opportunities for debate and discussion.

"Thunk" starter included. This lesson introduces students to the structure of personal statements for university applications. There is an activity where students compare 2 different personal statements and discuss what they feel is good and bad about them based on the advice they have been given.
