Based on the popular game 'Guess Who' this card game can be played in small groups. From two packs of cards one student picks a product whilst the group of students with their pack of cards try to identify it. This is achieved by asking questions about the products sustainability, function, use of material, design, aesthetics etc. This is should promote discussion and encourages students to make links between topics.

Three focused tasks which encourage students to research an important aspect of sustainability. The task requirements are presented under C and A grade criteria allowing tasks to be easily differentiated. These activities could be part of collaborative work and used for summative or formative assessment to determine progress/attainment. I hope to add a number of further tasks to this series, any ideas would be welcome.

Description: Formal way of sharing assessment with the pupils. Not to be used on its own, but in conjunction with other assessment strategies that are already in place. Objective: It should allow teachers to share with the pupil the marks for effort, their portfolio and product, whilst also communicating a target for further improvement. Expectations: Share assessment strategies with the pupils and promote their participation in Assessment for Learning. Hints: Use it in conjunction with other assessment, mark their folio as a whole or as separate tasks. The mark they achieve at the end is an overall grade, similar to what they would be given for GCSE coursework. This allows pupils to identify each task as having relative and equal importance.

This document can be used to track the progress and/or acquisition of new knowledge/skills over a period time. This could be to track a student, group or whole class over a lesson, week, topic or term to visually present what progress has been made. Use initials, names, colour, pupil codes etc. The example illustrates one way in which the 'map' can be used.

A ready to use resource that allows pupils and teachers to monitor the speed of pupil's reading. This can be printed driectly to card, cut out and used immediately. Pupils complete the diary routinely with the date and page number. A range of colours have been developed so reading groups can be easily identified for intervntion/differentiation purposes. Further reading resoucres will soon be available, reviews and ideas are welcome to support the design process.

A simple chart layout which can be used to plot pupils from a class against each other using two criteria; effort and attainment/progress. This allows the practitioner to record a pupils effort and a chosen second criteria as a scatter graph. A series of these could be used over time to identify changes in effort levels, alternatively a chart could be used for an individual pupil recording dates instead of their initials.
