A nice brief one.  Hope the post is useful.  As always, please do get in touch with feedback and questions.

**1. I-We-You**

Model success for the ‘I’ part of the process by planning or partially constructing a response to a task.

**2. I-We-You**

Work with the class for the ‘We’ part of the process by asking for ideas and opinions.

**3. Gradual reveal**

Conceal information and reveal it gradually to your wards – discuss as you go.

**4. Highlight and annotate**

Focus on part of a poem, diagram or equation (etc.) and get students to follow along.

**5. Connect with your study booklet**

Take students through the information and tasks you’ve constructed.

**6. Show and don’t tell**

Display a piece of work and ask the class to suggest how it could be improved.

**7. Compare student work**

Display a piece of work and ask students to compare it to their own.

**8. Display student work**

Critique what your wards have done, emphasise what success looks like and give praise.

**9. Live Marking**

Mark a piece of student work and provide a commentary as you go.

Cheers –

Doug
