Salient Features of India constitution especially power and functions
Afl packs by Sian Carter
1.
2. • Mini whiteboard pens (and wipes ideally)
for writing on the laminated vote! cards and
exit tickets.
• Highlighters can be used for lots of great
things. In an AFL sense, I use them for
highlighted peer marking. E.g. Use one
colour to highlight strengths and another
colour to target areas for improvement.
• Post – its used for all sorts – exit cards,
opinion polls, peer feedback etc.
3. Simplified success criteria – kept very
simple. Used as a learning mat when
completing reading/writing/S+L tasks.
It is used as a basic guide – kept simple so
all abilities can access it. Used for peer
and self assessment and serves as a visual
checklist for students when completing
their work.
N.B. Used as a stepping stone to
assessment criteria not as a replacement!
4. Readily available in AFL packs for students to
use if they want to ‘Tweet the Teacher’.
Students use these to ask teacher questions
about their learning or as a response to my
marking in their book.
Space provided for teacher to ‘tweet’ back to
encourage student/teacher dialogue.
5. Used as a reference tool for definitions of
language features and all things grammar
related.
Great for encouraging independent learning.
Always readily available to students to help
with the “Three before
me”/”Brain, book, buddy, boss” ethos.
6. Used in classroom discussions, as plenaries and in
multiple choice quizzes.
Lots of possibilities, Y/N, T/F, multiple choice, showing
levels/grades when peer assessing etc.
A quick easy way to see class progress/understanding.
7. Used in class discussion as a ‘supporting talk’
strategy.
Students must listen to comments made and
build on those comments by ‘complimenting’
them or offer an opposing view/idea by
‘challenging’ what they have heard.
Encourages active listening and a debate
where ideas are built on rather than 30
different ideas being shared separately.
8. Students reflect on their learning, the LOs or a
question of your choice and write it on the laminated
exit ticket.
Ticket has velcro on it so that it can then be stuck to
the ‘EXIT TICKET WALL’ (or in my case pillars!).
Take a photo to record student responses.
9. SUCCESS A range of paragraph
lengths.
