Teacher Learning Community - Exit Question

Here is another technique for AiFL.

 

 

AiFL technique used (please give details of lesson):

 

Exit Question

 

Pupils are given a blank piece of paper at the end of the lesson which they then fill in 2 or 3 things they are not sure about, which is used as starter for next period.

 

 

 

Class I used the technique with (please give details of number of pupils, attainment level, behaviour etc):

 

S4 Standard Grade Administration. Mainly a Foundation – General class. 15 pupils, with several poorly behaved pupils.

 

 

 

How did this benefit the pupils:

 

Pupils are reflecting on their learning and having to decide what topics or concepts they understand or not. It also gives them an input into the shape of the next lesson, since what they do not understand will for the basis for the starter of the next lesson.

 

 

How did this benefit me:

 

It gives me some feedback as to what concepts pupils are struggling with and gives an opportunity to try to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. It is also a good plenary.

 

 

 

 

Further comments: (you may include any negative feedback or difficulties you encountered)

 

Not every pupil takes it completely seriously. I insist it is anonymous, and there can be the odd silly comment.
