This resource is a literacy tool designed to enable students to break down an unfamiliar text and encourage them to ‘write like an historian’. The source used is an article from the Smithsonian Magazine, ‘See Charles I’s Stained Execution Shirt’.
The article provides useful information about the execution of Charles I.
A presentation with some generic documents designed to save teacher time:
Marking and assessment sheet that can be used for self, peer or adapted for teacher assessment and feedback. Step-by-step instructions for students to check literacy and presentation. The teacher would design a WAGOLL sheet (What A Good One Looks Like) to enable students to identify www/ebi before they write a feedback response.
A sheet designed to help foster independent learning when completing a task.
A book check list for students to complete before handing in book for marking.
Whole class marking feedback. This has saved me hours marking and the feedback I get is so much better.
Instructions on using reciprocal reading in history (can be adapted for other subjects)
