Get students into the routine of creative “time plans” ready for KS4. This is a template for printing so that students can convert recipes into time plan format. This is in Word document format but could be converted into PDF.
I have used these as a homework task for students, where they prepare a time plan from a recipe using leftovers. This format requires students to put an ingredients list into food groups and then separate their equipment list into categories. Plus students have to break down the recipe into simple steps, thinking about the time it would take to do each and any safety considerations for each instructions.
This is a really good resource to get students well rehearsed at timeplans.

Usage:
Print out A4 or A5 size
Cut in half
Students need to match key words to definitions, could be individual, group or whole class game
**VARIATIONS: **
Pairs: lay all cards out faced down and each student turns over 2 cards, if it’s the correct definition and keyword the student takes the 2 cards.
Find someone: give every student one card, they circulate around the room and find a person who has either the keyword for their definition or the definition for their keyword. Pairs could then present their keyword and definition back to the class.
This is a retrieval mat for use in any subject. This is a designated resources for students to complete retrieval practice on. I laminate and students use wipeboard pens to fill in their answers. This is a really good low-stakes way of introducing retrieval, because students can wipe off answers.
There is an area for a quick quiz (questions requiring an A,B,C,D type answer or perhaps one word)
Lined ‘paper’ area for slightly longer answers like sentences or phrases
When students have complete the questions I use the thought bubble space for students to think of key words from last lesson
The magnifying glass is there for students to write any questions they would like to ask- this is good for students who often forget their question. This space gives them an opportunity to write it down whilst you are busy doing the register etc.
