A quick revision lesson activity. Print on A3 laminate. Students can then write their own questions on the sheet and then have a go at answering them. Questions get harder based around Bloom’s Taxonomy.

This activity is designed to aid student writing and build up literacy. Students roll a pair of dice and find the emoji that corresponds to this, they then have to use the emoji in their first sentence e.g. If they landed in the rain it could be “My first day on duty and rain was crashing around me, turn the trench into a bog.” They then repeat to find out their next topic to include. This works well as away of building literacy into a lesson or I usually print these out and set this as a homework task. Setting a maximum and minimum amount of rolls, and setting a competition to create the most creative story.

A group of lesson resources themed around space. There is a connectives word mat to help students with their writing in lesson. There is also a Takeaway Homework, where there are a range of options that range in difficulty. Furthermore there is a Meteor Word Game. At the end of the lesson students have to destroy all the meteors by defining the words. Student choose a word and define it if they are correct they press the word and it will dissolve with a sound effect.

These sheets are handed out when setting homework and students choose one that they are going to complete. Each version of takeaway homework has some different tasks so I use different ones every so often to give students a range. I have a homework loyalty card so students know if they just the harder choices they get more stamps, with a completed card earning them a reward e.g phone call home. This worked really well to push students to challenge themselves. For the Pizza one I print out all the slices cut and laminate. I then went to local pizza chain and asked for a clean empty box and then placed them all in there. When setting homework students took a slice to do. The Starbooks version has a downloaded font so might not appear on the word document so a PDF is included which will have the chalk text effect.
