I use these in writing lessons to help children peer assess each other on each strand of VCOP. Children are them prompted to provide a next step for their learning partner.

A set of 4 jungle themed bookmarks for children to colour in. Print on cardstock and laminate for durability.

Print and laminate these role cards to help guide you pupils facilitate effective discussions with peers. Based on the Oracy framework, these cards each relate to a role the child can take in the discussion, providing useful sentence stems to help structure conversation.

This is a bookmark I created to help students remember the different roles they have during their weekly Literacy Circle meeting. The bookmark details the role of the: Discussion Director, Artist, Word Finder, Highlighter and the Summarizer. To use these, I would cut each side, glue together and laminate so they could be used year on year. This resource is fully editable for you to change the requirements or names of each role if you wish.
