This is just a picture of a brain on A4. You write the topic title or the question on the left and then print out. (You could duplicate the page and then print both onto A4 so each is A5). Each student then fills it with what they know. e.g. **At the start of a lesson to recall everything they remember from yesterday, etc. **During the lesson to summarize or capture all the key information from e.g. a presentation or fact sheet. **At the end of the lesson to recap everything they've learnt. I've edited the picture of the brain to make it easier to write on with less bits to fill in. The student's can order their writing around the brain in any order they choose. It's not my idea and I've not use it yet so interested in any feedback.

Thanks to tsyczynski another valued TES contributor for this. I really liked his idea of the homework tasks. I've just adapted it to fit in with our current theme of child labour in Victorian factories and I've given it to my class as an extended project task for a couple of afternoon lessons where we've got quite a few extra-curricular activities going on. This is what they said about doing this kind of task: "It's good to let your imagination flow" "It's more fun" "It's good to make something" " I like choosing what to do" If you like this then please check out my many other activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages including many Premium resources which may be able to save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas. If you find this helpful then please leave a constructive review. Thank you.

If you too want to make sure that your class have an opportunity to discuss and reflect on today outcome then my 12 questions on a worksheet may get you started. It's done as a worksheet but you could easily put the questions into a PowerPoint and ask them as a group. Alternatively print the questions on to separate sheets and give each group a different question to answer. I'll use it to get the students doing some research on today's result. There is a question about my local area "Northumberland" which you can change to your local authority. *******If you like this and find it useful then please leave me some positive feedback and do check out my TES Resources shop which includes many premium resources which may help save you time and give you ideas.

This is a really simple idea. Give out to each student a grid. The grid contains 3 rows of two. They then write six facts or points about a topic in the six boxes. Then they cut out the boxes (but only cut on the dotted lines) so that they create THREE domino cards. Each of the three domino cards now has two facts - one on either side of the bold line. The student now arranges the three dominoes in to a line (or even a triangle) and then annotates the link or connection between the two facts either side of the connection. E.g. They have written down six facts about angles: **4 angles in a square **angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees **angles are measured in degrees ** right angles are 90 degrees **360 degrees in a full circle **triangle angles add up to 180 degrees You can see that if they place the fact '4 angles in a square' next to '360 degrees in a full circle' they can annotate the link by saying that 4 x 90 degrees is 360 degrees. You will notice that in the file I have produced tables with 3, 4, 5 and 6 dominoes in. I will give the more able students the greater challenge of having to first recall more facts and then make more links. My colleague has used this successfully however she wrote some facts on some of the dominoes first to get some students started. I'm thinking now that I may first use this activity by making up a set of cards for the class to see how to do it first in their groups. I've just made this ready for a History lesson on Victorian Factory conditions and you will see this in the files as well. It's not my idea and I've not use it yet so I'm interested in any feedback.

A simple five slide Microsoft PowerPoint and matching PDF with appropriate images behind the text of John McCrae’s poem. The final slide is a picture relevant to the current Gaza conflict which may provide an opportunity to promote further discussion. If you find it useful then please do leave a comment. Thank you
