Can use for any subject to structure an assessment for KS3 (A5) or KS4 (A4). Fill out the main box in the middle with a variety of questions (5 marks for KS3 and 10 marks for KS4 - can change) and get students to identify whether it is peer, self or teacher assessed. Space for target, GRAFT, DIRT at bottom.

The first sheet has space for 10 questions based on the lesson just taught on the left and space for summaries of the key ideas on the right. The second sheet (the back sheet if copied front to back) has space on the left to write a link to a YouTube video and space for notes with suggested styles of note taking at the bottom. The same is laid out on the right for a website link. My A-Level students really liked the structure for keeping up to date with notes and preparation for the next lesson but could be used or adapted for KS3 and KS4. It can be taken in the following lesson and/or self assessed as the starter giving you a chance to go around and check completion.

To be used on a quote / inspirational quotes display or as a tutor / assembly resource. Ten slides including black and white photo, brief biography (name, date, job) and quote for: Richard Feynman Carl Sagan Neil DeGrasse Tyson Dalai Lama Aristotle Marie Curie Albert Einstein Bill Nye Stephen Hawking Christopher Hitchens Can print on coloured paper or keep black and white.

Use this sheet to focus students through a video of any length and give a chance of assessment. While watching the video students come up with 10 (or more if you add rows) questions and write the answers on the back. After watching, they swap and answer each others quizzes, hand them back and get them marked. There is space for feedback as well. I never let students watch videos without a purpose and as this is generic it can be kept behind the desk as a back up.

Student select, draw and describe (with possible sentence starters and endings) which emoji sums up how they feel about the task they have just completed. Can be added onto any task and adapted to include add any criteria. Printable version on separate slide for slower writers / lower abilities.

Three questions on the topic of particle theory (AQA - A Level Biology - Immunity) that are on a nicely laid out sheet for completion and sticking into books. Includes self assessment at the bottom to allow them to choose which topic requires attention based on their score, not just their feelings towards it. The next slide has the answers in the wrong order so they actually have to read them not just copy them! Included is a blank version you could use for other topics. [image is just an example of others I have done]

Three questions on the topic of Organisation (AQA - Physics - B2) that are on a nicely laid out sheet for completion and sticking into books. Includes self assessment at the bottom to allow them to choose which topic requires attention based on their score, not just their feelings towards it. The next slide has the answers in the wrong order so they actually have to read them not just copy them! Included is a blank version you could use for other topics. [Images is just an example]

Three questions on the topic of particle theory (AQA - Physics - P3) that are on a nicely laid out sheet for completion and sticking into books. Includes self assessment at the bottom to allow them to choose which topic requires attention based on their score, not just their feelings towards it. The next slide has the answers in the wrong order so they actually have to read them not just copy them! Included is a blank version you could use for other topics.

PowerPoint full of 37 activities that include starters, mains and plenaries / mini plenaries that can be adapted for any lesson or situation. First slide gives general instructions. Styles include: Assessment based Creative Discussion Independent Settling Positive Many more Each slide is laid out the same for consistency but is very personalisable. If used regularly, the students get used to the style of an activity and can use their brains for the actual task, not for understanding what to do in it.

Homework activity that could be a class activity. Space for teacher comments / assessment Two methods (with images) for the same hypothesis Task: Choose the best Justify decision Suggest further improvements Extension: Create one of your own controlling as many variables as possible

Speed up book checks and make them efficient by doing them in class. 1.Print off the small versions. 2 Take around the classroom while pupils are working. 3. Fill them in and stick into books. 4. Write into mark book as you go to note down effort. Do every few weeks to keep on top of book checking is time is tight (always).

Show a list of jobs and get the students to choose two of them to research and explain which they would rather do when older. The first slide is well structured and the second is less structured for more able. The third has a list of Science related jobs but obviously you could give a list of any jobs. Alternatively you could give different jobs to different students.

Add this to the back end of your PPT to remind you to check the classroom for tidiness as well as what you are expecting from the students with a sanction if insufficient. A good routine can help with behaviour management. Especially if the students know there will be a consequence if they don’t do enough.

A Power Point with 2 different ways of structuring differentiation within a lesson. Slide 1: Blank version with space for main activity in the middle, support on the left and extension on the right. Slide 2: Example Slide 3: Blank version with two routes for the same objective Slide 4: Example Good to use to by slipping into a lessons Power Point to encourage yourself to differentiate.

I have designed this for Science articles but could be used for any subject and for articles, websites, videos etc. The second slide has four examples you could use to guide them or you could give them the article you want them to review.

From Classroomdoodles.com and Crayola.com that have free colouring in sheets for loads of subjects. Perfect for extra little interest and engagement for lessons. I have downloaded the free resources and named them for easier access but have no ownership over them. Enjoy!
