Create a poster or fact file (depending on time)

• success criterion - emphasise there is no marks for pretty work - to do it after the writing
• challenge
• e.g. my year 8s wrote half a page of information (mixed ability) for fact files
• e.g. my year 9s wanted to do more drawings (mixed ability) so their work varied but they were really into it and would need more time.
  Feedback to class (table or notes - they were much faster with just making notes) - chose 1 per animal - visualiser for recognition and rewards
  Plenary - which one to save? Hands up voting.
