-Editable / blank self-assessment slip
Want to tweak it for your class or lesson focus? No problem – there’s a fully editable version ready to go.
-Colour-coded toolkit key
A clear visual guide to key discussion features (e.g. introduction, arguments for and against, rhetorical questions, modal verbs, formal language). Perfect for highlighting, annotating and making success criteria stick.
