Pupils draw a gingerbread man. Label body with headings to find out. Interview. Then they circle the one answer that is most intriguing and generate five new questions about it; they write those five questions. Find out answers and create a zippy opening sentence, title and conclusion.
Link with higher order questions: concrete-abstract.
Limey gets the pupils doing the teaching: ‘How about getting them all to teach. Encourage the pupils to identify something they are good at - it could be anything from keeping puppies to juggling to rapping - and getting them to prepare a 10 minute 'lesson' where they teach the rest of the class their skill. They would need to think about how to make their presentation interactive, using multiple intelligences etc. should keep them busy for ages’
Ceesaw: ‘I plan on doing a weekly talent spot where students showcase their talents which can be anything from their skills with a yo-yo (a year 7 boy with autism loved showing us this!), a rap, reading your own poem aloud or a piece of homework or writing that you are proud of, telling jokes, demonstrating how many keepy-uppies you can do with a football... you get the idea. Very shy students can pair up with another student. You could also create a talent board with photographs and pictures to remind students about the range of strengths and skills they have.’
