This is a ppt offering sentence starters of each thinking hat. Teachers can select hats they want the class to work from, or ask the class to select a hat before they start working etc It makes a good mini plenary task to break up a lesson into learning segments.

** Please leave a review. Thank you ** What is this resource? This is a simple to use (tried and tested) self and peer pssessment SPAG check using literacy notations. How do I use it? The teacher uses these codes when they mark the pupils’ work. The students then use a green pen and use the teacher’s codes to correct their work before re-drafting their writing (minus the errors). Alternatively, the check sheet can be used as a peer assessment task – again using a green pen - or as a simple self-assessment task after the teacher has marked the pupils’ exercise book. In this instance, the student examines the corrections the teacher has made and amends the SPAG errors (using the codes) in a green pen. **Who is it for? ** Whole School Literacy Curriculum links? Whole School Marking Policies, Literacy Programmes and Literacy Support Sessions Practical Tips? It works well as a 10 min starter - if you’re handing back feedback at the beginning of lesson and want to show progression in practice

This is a generic peer assessment grid for whole school literacy

I hope it helps! :)
