Behaviour Report - Encouragement - Praise

(0)
I use this report to eradicate low level disruption within the classroom and to ensure that staff feel supported. The incentive is for learners to achieve a minimum amount of points each lesson - not for a prize, but to save themselves from earning an after school detention. The report works best when targets are set with the classroom teacher and communication home is made.

Students should use the building blocks so that you can identify who is taking part in the classroom discussion. Slide 2 - This teaching slide uses animations to teach the fundamentals of writing to argue Slide 3 - This has a thinking image. The image aims to make students consider whether or not they're contradicting themselves.

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

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!

I created this quiz sheet to use at my school at the year 7 open evening. It's a great way of learning students how to use the library referencing system.
