Criticisms I hear of booklets are often around rigidity/one size. Today, I created a sentence stem writing frame in response to yesterday's misconceptions to scaffold for struggling students for them to stick in their booklets. Simple tweak for a large impact👊Booklet = Basis 💭

To build confidence, our class discussion was captured in the planning section for today's assesment🙏 As part of our structure strip, we discussed, debated and decided what our essay non-negotiables needed to be. Different approach, but happy with the result 😊

Whole-class feedback from yesterday's piece ready the next day to explicitly capture our LP1 Q3 structure 👊 Quick feedback, explicit instruction and a much better understanding of the 'When' and 'Why Now' in particular ✅
Reframing LP1 Q3 to a "What - When - Why" has helped massively in our grasp of tackling the question and its demands👊 Using film clips and trailers has been pivotal in exploring the WHY and ensuring we fully expand our comments🦈⛱️
