As part of our Teacher Learning Community in School we have over the years used some of the well known techniques which I will share on this blog.
AiFL technique used (please give details of lesson):
Carousel – where pupils are given a past paper revision question and then are asked to generate answers to the question.
After a short period of time they move round to the next question, where they can add, amend or edit the answer already there from the previous team.
Finally they rotate back to their original question where they are given time to again edit, amend or improve the language of the answers, before saving it on the shared area where we can discuss the answers and if good and acceptable, we can print off copies for all the class.
Class I used the technique with (please give details of number of pupils, attainment level, behaviour etc):
I have used this with S5/6 Higher Business Management and Higher Administration. Roughly 40 pupils.
How did this benefit the pupils:
Gave pupils an opportunity to have fun revising before NABs and Tests. Pupils have opportunity to work together and they see/share answers to questions.
Increases pupil motivation.
How did this benefit me:
More interesting for me to see pupils thinking about answers and actively engaged in revision rather than some switching off from traditional books/worksheet method.
Further comments: (you may include any negative feedback or difficulties you encountered)
I have used this technique over the years with different classes of age/ability/subject and rarely does it not reap benefits.
