One component of teaching I really enjoy is making resources. I love the creative aspect of it, as well as trying to think of ways to empower student independence and autonomy - as well as make our lives as teachers more straightforward. I am keen to hear what you think of my resources; I like to know what works and if there is anything constructive you think can make these resources better. Now, put the kettle on and take a moment to breathe before your next class :-)

Three Thinking Activities 1 - Linking Thinking: This can be adapted for any subject, it can use images or text, be a starter, a plenary or as an activity in the middle of a lesson, or at the end of a sequence of learning. The second slide offers prompts to help stimulate discussions. It can be left on the board or could used as handout. It offers students the opportunity to reflect and hyper-analyse their learning, whilst increasing their learning capital. By making these links, students are able to see the relevance and how useful this learning is, and from this, they become more engaged. It gives students an opportunity to organise their thoughts, to stimulate interesting discussions, make links between the knowledge and skills that they have developed in and around different subjects, thus building their capital and valuing the importance of their learning in each subject, and how it links to other areas of the curriculum and life. 2 - Odd One Out: This can be adapted for any subject, it can use images or text, be a starter, a plenary or as an activity in the middle of a lesson.
